I believe in the five principles of the Faith. I have been led into believing in them, not by intensive study of literature, but by logical reasoning. The church Creed requires me to believe in the Holy Trinity. No priest of the christian church admits belief in three gods, and no priest has given me a staisfactory answer as to what the Holy Trinity is; nor has any priest convinced me that the Service of the Holy Sacrament is not a survival of paganism. I ceased attending communion services some years ago.
I do not believe in the literal interpretation of books of religion as do Puritans. They were written by men, men who were no doubt inspired., but were nevertheless human like you and me. There have been mistranslations and misunderstandings, and we have to be guided by these works and by our own consciences. I believe in prayer, because one thereby submits one's conscience to God for guidance.
