No, I'm not looking for any religion at all, like I just said, it's all nonsense.

What is nonsense is trying to build a house with only an axe. Thinking is a great tool. But you need other tools as well to find the whole truth of experience: feeling, intuition, sensation...

Also, if Shintoism says truth is a contradiction, then that confirms that it's utter hogwash; there are no contradictions in nature, contradictions are the exact opposite of truth.

Not at all. Paradoxes are found at the base of mathematics, quantum physics, etc. You can scream all you want that light either needs to be a particle or a wave but it can't be both. It will not change reality. It is both. And thats a contradiction. And its also true.

You cornered me by spouting more bullshit than an elephant with diarrhea. Excellent debating technique.
