I'm just saying its a way to keep your self out of trouble..as all religions are
I would say the opposite, if you join a religion or any group with a fixed doctine and tradition, you are asking for trouble! JMO
People join faith groups because they don't like to be alone - and it's easy - ya just say yeah I believe - gee Whiz - Come One Come all ya gotta say is You Believe! Gee Whiz - Let go of your instincts and curiosity and just have faith! Yeah Dude lets ride the hippy dippy Jesus train to redemption from whatever we tell you that you need redeeming from!
Any Group that Takes anyone is no group I want to be part of!
Religion + Psychiatry + Government = Heaps of wanton murder, war, destruction & unnecessary violence
Best to try and work it out yourself - no thinker from the past, no matter how great, could have anticipated todays Modern Depraved World - There are no rules - the time has come to define new philosophies and guidelines to live your life by. Time for brave new minds to emerge and many new alternate lifestyles adopted. be a pioneer and live your life in a unique way - do not follow the crowd, no matter how hard and lonely the path becomes. Always examine the facts - and beware of charlatans, for they are everywhere! But most of all, never lose faith in yourself and use others criticisms and attacks as fuel to further your efforts for what you believe to be right!
