I didn't say that the PP had no right to post here, I asked why they did.  In your case, you don't believe in a Judeo-Christian God, but you follow a religion and that religion does have gods, if not a single God.  However, whether you believe in a God or gods, you do follow a religion and this Forum is for the discussion of religions.

Since [u]religion is about unwavering Faith in a religious system and a Deity or deities[/u], I'm not sure that the PP's statement above will be agreed to by the majority of the audience.  It's like trying to convince birds that they shouldn't fly.[/quote]

Fascinating. PP, I think that perspective is more about what you are comfortable with than about religion as a bigger topic.

Most religious leaders I have worked with -- and several religious writings -- address [b]crises of faith and doubts as a natural part of the arc of religious beliefs over time[/b]. Dealing with that over the course of a life is a part of "religion" in the big sense, too.[/quote]

Good one!  Keeps you from following your doubts. They're normal - they'll bring you right back to the pews and the collection basket.

In other endeavors, doubts can lead to great discovery, but not in religion.  Think your spouse is cheating on you?  Investigate and determine whether or not to stay married!

Don't understand why an apple always falls to the ground?  Investigate and discover gravity.

Not sure if God exists?  Investigate and disregard whatever you learn and return to faith.[/quote]
