"Or if that statement is true, then the sacred books describing that something are wrong."
That is partly my point,sacred books are still,at best a human attempt to describe the indescribable. I will go so far as to say nobody knows and nobody ever can know. Religion and spirituality is a mystery,the greatest of all mysteries.
That does not mean they are not worth pursuing as that is the beauty of life,in my opinion. That is the way of the Pilgrim.
