While I greatly enjoyed Amber's post, as she is sincere and a great writer, I can't help thinking that she'll eventually end up in the same place Socrates did (i.e. "All that I know is that I know nothing"). While it def. shouldn't discourage the academic study of religions, I'm afraid one has to eventually face a brutal truth: after thousands of years of writing and study, us humans have very little knowledge of the big questions in the universe.
In a different life, with different choices, I'd be there with you (and may get there yet!). Share your experiences, I'd love to follow along.

Took notes on this...will use it to talk with therapist next week. Gave me a bunch to journal about. Thank you
