In response to looking with more than my eyes, ears, etc.:
You all assume that I have not looked. I spent several years of my life attending church. Never did I feel what you all tell me I haven't searched for. This feeling has never come to me after years of church and then searching for it on my own. In those days I did not have the doubts that I have now. But as I did not find this feeling, I began to search with my mind, my eyes, ears, etc. which has lead me to where I am now.
Someguy, I may run the risk of being kicked off here, but I must speak. I myself was a devout Baptist, and was baptised. When I noticed the world and the universe did not work as the Bible said, and that many concepts of the Bible were illogical, and that a lot of the stories sounded like bad fairy stories, I began to use my mind, eyes, ears, etc..
I came to the realization that if God and religion are out of the equation, the universe works without all the double speak, circular reasoning and logical contradictions. When I realised these things, I felt the freedom and truth the devout had always claimed for themselves.
Just my two cents worth.
