Religion / Spirituality / Belief

I have no answers here, but I do have guidelines.

Remember that with all the various religions, sects, sub-sects, denominations, splinter groups and whatnot in the world, there isn't a single belief system similarly held by even 20% of the people on Earth - so no matter which one (if any) you think is right, at least 80% of the planet believes just as strongly that you're wrong.

Always be wary of belief systems that demand absolute blind faith in the word of a stranger as one of its tenets. Cults get started that way.

Finally, at the risk of sounding domineering or dismissive: Scientology is crap. Don't even go there.
