and identify with what you have experienced. But I was finally able to break free from the illusion (or should I say delusion) of this thing called religion. I believe that the complexity and precision of the creation we can observe by necessity requires the existence of an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient eternal essence, and that essence has revealed itself to us mortals as the phenomenon we call Nature. Creation itself reveals to us all that we need to know as mortals.
Good luck and best wishes!
