(57,936 posts)I am Unitarian, not Jewish, but I see my personal religious beliefs as the means through which I seek the answers to the questions, "why am I?" and "to live a moral, good, personally and socially healthy life, how should I live in this world?"
I am not seeking magical answers. I am here in a mysterious universe that functions more or less according to certain rules. Those are the givens. Now, how am I, as a being who is equal to others of my kind, to live within the rules of the universe? How am I to be in harmony and one with this universe around me?
At the moment, that is my idea of religion. I would not choose one particular book as the source of my spiritual guidance. But I very definitely sense there is a purpose to life and that it is spiritual.
