What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?

Hey, so I believe in a higher power but I'm not on board with any particular religion. Anyone else think it's cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?

I would say it’s cooler to be a good person for the sake of it rather than being a good person because you fear hell or desire some sort of reward (eternity in heaven).

Yeah, I mean what if heaven and hell do not exist?

It's better if they don't exist. Just believe that you are energy that can't be destroyed. That way, you'll live forever, like molecules or whatever. I try to think of it that way? Just cruising around the globe or visiting other galaxies? Onward to the next adventure? (Sorry drunkish)

I still believe that everything has its creator, and creator has its own creator.
