There is an old Bhuddist saying: "When a finger is pointing at the moon -- do not be distracted by the finger".
There are a lot of fingers pointing at the moon. And what I have found is that truly spiritual people (to whom I am drawn) have their attention more on the moon than the finger (ironically, that even includes some folks who will insist that their finger is *the* only true finger).
And an interesting thing about the die-hard atheists is that, seeing that none of the fingers actually reach the moon, they conclude that the moon does not exist.
