It takes courage to question the Christian institution and not toss out your whole spiritual experience. I agree the virgin birth is likely a myth,and the interpretation of His death as "buying" back our sins is Paul's tortutous attempt to make sense of something he glimpsed. But what did he see? Christ? Possibly. My own experience does not allow me to say there is nothing after this incarnation. But Heaven vs.Hell? Another myth to make people buy into early Christianity through fear. Born again? Jesus says so, but perhaps he means ino the next life...maybe we live more than once? And maybe the Holy Spirit is when we fuse with our Creator, become conscious of and one with the Spirit from whom we came. The Nicene creed, after all, was just a creed written by a bunch of bishops afraid to cede any constituents to other sects of the early church. And they "won". Try "Lost Christianities" by Bart Ehrman. Keep thinking for yourself.
