BELIEF: In my Path, belief has NOTHING to do with Spiritual practice. It is seen as a product of the mind. God is to be lived. Namaste! Jim

Bill, you wrote: "The divine connection is in each of us, not just in "founders" or other "special" individuals. So each belief perfectly reflects the reality that one has chosen at any given time. " Most of your writing is mere tautology, to the type such as "Either you agree, or you don't agree." You often substitute "perception" with "reality". Certainly you can choose to perceive an event, or life. The reality on this planet, for instance, for the rate of gravity, is not really a matter of "choice", though you may have a choice insofar as units of measure. Realities are a far small class of instances. I also notice you take a lot of definitions for granted to make your points, when they are open to vast interpretation. The example here is "divine". What are the characteristics of "divine"? I doubt that most of here can agree. Nevertheless, you plunge ahead. I know one characteristic we can agree about divine beings. They are never observed in action by third parties. In fact, no "third party" historians, while reporting on many holy men around the period of time attributed to Jesus Christ, make any mention of him whatsoever..
