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

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?

There is significant propability by just beeing here that you were hurt in the past and you didn't heal properly. First step before acknowledging the pain is to go to a safe place, where there are no toxic people and where your basic needs are met. Hurt people are like magnet for toxic people, and hurt people are comforted by familiarity of toxicity.

I am just guessing here.
