ditto,
My current beliefs have more in common with Gnostic-oriented Christianity. The Gospel of Thomas portrays a Jesus whose thinking is more consistent with Hindu philosophy. What works for me is a path to God that focuses on the internal experience, where God is found within as well as everywhere, rather than an external concept of an individualized God. "Split a log, and I am there", Jesus states in the Gospel of Thomas.
Of course, my reasons are more complicated, but this is a good summary.
