I believe that the nature and will of some but not all of the higher powers can be discovered through religious (and scientific) texts, so A, I guess.

(Higher than what?)

Higher Power is a term coined in the 1930s in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and is used in other twelve-step programs. It is also sometimes referred to as a power greater than ourselves and is frequently abbreviated to HP.

What I mean by logic is subjective, is that it is open to interpretation. There maybe a pure, unsubjective logic that runs the universe, but as you said, without being a full and complete Turing machine with access to all knowledge, its impossible to be completely adherent to it.

I believe in the Great Cosmic Goat (but the hypothesis of the Great Cosmic Whale is interesting).

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

B is the closest to what I believe I guess, but I wouldn't exactly describe it as a "higher power" in any capacity.

It makes sense in my head but I can't really explain my beliefs.

Also, I'm not entirely sure anything can be revealed through religious institutions.

I choose D. If you ask me to defend myself, I can't, and that is one of the reasons for my answer.

These wouldn't fit in the poll choices, so I just used corresponding letters:

A) You believe in a higher power and believe that its nature and will can be discovered through religious texts or institutions.
B) You believe in a higher power, but aren't sure of its nature or you think it cannot be fully revealed through religious texts or institutions.
C) You think it's possible there is a higher power, but you aren't sure.
D) You firmly believe there is no higher power.
