the laws of science and common sense? In my opinion religion fills a void. But no mainstream religion is acceptable to me because they all violate common sense and they are all counter-intuitive. I want to fill my void but without resorting to the adoption of belief systems put together by other human beings that are full of unholy compromise. Give me a super-religion that embraces science, common sense, psychology and that brings all human beings of all religions together so that we can all work together in peace. And of course I want to fill my own void without damaging my integrity. To me, integrity is extremely important and I think that it is something that is sacrficied a bit in mainstream religions. Who should I turn to for guidande? (And don't say God or Jesus). What powerful ideas and concepts could help someone like me to be happy and more tolerant of everthing that is wrong with the world? How can I really make a difference instead of kidding myself that God will always provide?
 
Let me know when you find the answer to it!

Christianity kind of stole the idea of "The Truth". But Christians themselves claim their belief rests on faith, so referring to it as The Truth is misleading.

I'm all for pursuing the truth, but unfortunately there's no guarantee that the truth won't suck. I've been researching (Secular) Humanism lately. It has been filling at least some of the void of which you speak.
 
Religion used to fill a void, science now explains alot of that void and faith in idols and like is becoming redundant. I think religion was a stop gap for the facts
 
Truth is truth, whether it comes from science or religion. Scientific truth allows us to invent automobiles and cellphones. Religious truth allows us to talk to God and to return to his presence. I have found the best mix in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Modern revelation from God makes the difference.
The Book of Mormon satisfies both worlds. It is a profoundly religious text, that is supported by science and archaeology. In Lehi's dream we are taught about finding the love of God, despite the temptations of Satan. Meanwhile, archaeologists walk the trail of Lehi and discover those geographic features, which are mentioned in the Book of Mormon, to exist still today, or to have existed in the time of Lehi, which was circa. 600 BC. Lehi left Jerusalem with his family, fleeing for his life, because he was warned in a dream. God promised to lead him and his family to a new land. The Book of Mormon is, among other things, the record of their journey, and of the supernatural events that shaped their lives.
