I find the sheer beauty of the Universe to be fascinating as well as the
scale of it. Spending time just quietly looking at the night sky through
a telescope or powerful binoculars can be every bit as inspiring for me
as anything I've read or heard.

In addition, I "believe" that this personal choice should not be made
for you, not be enforced or required by any law (or prevented, as long
as it does not require/justify the contravention of any law - e.g., human
sacrifice), and the details of your choice should not be held against you
or used as a means of discrimination. (OK ... but it would be nice!)

There is a lot to be learned from the process of searching, not least
being the existence of alternative interpretations to your own.
