They quote things from books and believe everything they are told. It is all part of the big lie to keep everyone from knowing what the truth really is. They don't want people to see the truth because then they could not take their money and lead them to their own devices. As for what I believe, well, that is a very long story. I have studied a bit from various religions and what I came up with for myself is Pagan in the end.
Most people think pagans are witches, again that is mainstream brainwashing.
A true Pagan is someone who believes in a higher power but is not about to explain it. A pagan is close to a Zen Buddha as the life experiencing is the most important part of knowing spirit. To see things as they are, without the brain trying to decide what to believe. In Zen you are always looking at the duality of everything. To most people they just shake their heads when you say this about a question they just asked you.
