Another weird fantasy.

Let’s require everyone to have a personal religion. Designed for one’s personal needs. One wouldn’t be allowed to adopt a prescribed, ready-made  religion. Because that would be too easy. Requires too little thought. Of course, my approach won’t work. Because it would meet with resistance. People like to flock together.  And live by often idiotic rules. Shared beliefs. Makes them feel more like robots. They no longer have to think for themselves. Easier to say that one is a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist. Or for that matter, an atheist. Better, it seems to me, if one decided to borrow a little bit of each. Of everything. A blend. That fits one’s natural and personal essence and spiritual needs. –Jim Broede
