Some will disagree with this. The endeavor is not meant for everyone. Some of us though have this need to refine aspects of existing religious belief systems to gain a more complete understanding of the spiritual questions that we have.
Other belief systems are valid for those that hold them as true. We will find that most spiritual endeavors of man have the same goal. That is to grow into a mature state of spirituality. We can end up in the same place. Some of us simply take a different route.

Does life exist on other planets? What does that mean to our understanding of God? Does that invalidate the world's churches and our sense of God? Who are we if we are not unique in the Universe?
