Ever notice that many of the people who describe themselves as Christians, specifically Evangelical Christians, bear a much closer resemblance to the pharisees of the New Testament than to Christ or his followers? I think if you took all the teachings of Christ, which were mostly presented in the form of metaphor, interpreted them figuratively to the best of your understanding, applied them to your life, then eliminated all the doctrine and dogma that has developed over the past two thousand years, you would have a pretty good religion.
What's to be done when your world view more closely resembles that of people who describe themselves as Agnostics or Secular Humanists? And what is an Agnostic anyway, but a person who simply says "I don't know what the truth is, but I'm open to various possibilities"? That just sounds like someone being honest with themselves. I can find no fault with that, and any God I choose believe in wouldn't either.
