And that's precisely why I never adopted a religion and why I'm generally
against organized religion on principle. Each claims it's right and the
others are wrong. My belief doesn't sit well with my extremely Catholic
gradmother I can tell you.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Hi Dark,
I know the feeling. I'm something of a universalist myself, study
religious texts regardless of the religion in question and some of the
people I know find me, well, a bit eccentric because I haven't settled
on any specific religion. Each claim to be the one true religion,
that their values or beliefs are somehow more superior to the rest,
but I don't see it that way as I see both good and bad in all of the
religions I've studied. I guess that is the difference between
philosophers like you and I and someone who has adopted a religion.
Cheers!

Hi David.
If I belong to a religion, I hold myself as a universalist, ie, elieving
that the devine can be found in many different places and beliefs.
In my flat above my fireplace I have a shelf with a jewish Manora, a
small
quartz crystal, a statue of the hindu god Ganesh, a Buhda, and a crucifix
(indeed the only reason i don't have something from Islam is that Muslims
are a litle like quakers and don't go in for symbolism).
So I try to remember everyone's beliefs as much as possible, ---- in fact
as
a former musician for a band of morris men I've run across a fair few
wickens and stil have some very wicken friends.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
