Excellent post. I had not seen you post before so welcome to the forum.
I'm glad there's other people out that are comfortable not knowing the whole story. I also agree that there's no need to believe in supernatural things.
All religions operate backwards in my opinion. They formulate an answer first and then try to find any evidence for it. Of course if no evidence is found it's all part of God's plan. This has always been their sales pitch and after thousands of years of endoctrination, the masses are still swallowing that same old tripe.
