Jim, I love your post. It reminds me of a friend who is approaching his 80th year on this planet. He was/is an agnostic, however recently he has had at least three lengthy one-on-one meetings with a rabbi. While he and I, years ago, discussed our mutual agnosticism (I returned to Christ 15 years ago or so) upon my last visit with him it was clear that he is now searching.
I hope he finds his peace and I hope you find yours.
Part of my return to God (and Christ) was that I have always had a need for understanding. While I still have questions about how God “works” in our lives it simply makes more sense to me than God created everything than the idea that “it just happened”. The book, “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Athiest” by Geisler and Turek is an excellent read and I recommend it to all who seem to be searching. I would even loan it to you if you didn’t want to spend the money. (The only problem with that is that I’m leaving in about 45 minutes for 3 weeks. I’m not even sure I’ll have access to TOTV until I return).
BTW, I think “religion” is one of the worst things that ever happened to believers, regardless of what they may believe.
Best of luck in your search and take care.
