Dear Maggie,

I’ve been on a quest to find the truth about religion, to find the one faith that’s the right one, and all I seem to find are flaws in all of them. I’ve been studying and reading and nothing seems to really answer all the questions I have. We’re heading into that time of year now, when it seems people of faith really feel it and show it and just enjoy and celebrate it so much. I want to be one of them. I just don’t know how to put aside my doubts and believe in the doctrines of any one church or religion. Every time I try, I find out something that I just plain know is wrong. I want to believe, I really do. And I know that they say faith is believing in what you can’t see. But it’s not believing in things you know to be false, is it? So what do I do? Will I ever find the true path to God? How can I go about finding my way?
