No Such Religion

(7)

This leaves only Eastern Religion. I don't think that all of Eastern Religion is a Cargo Cult. It seems to me that some of the more sophisticated Eastern Religions (such as Zen Buddhism for example) are more correct in their approach to the human dilemma of life vs death. Western religion, 'carrot and stick religion,' is obviously wrong, that much is clear to me, but I am impressed with what I call 'the psychological religions' which originated in The East.

Not that I think any of those religions have 'ultimate truth which is yours for the asking.' I think there is no such religion. I think you have to forge your own religion as you go, that all true religion is personal, that there is no religion which fits all, no spiritual straightjacket into which we are all condemned to fit.

I don't believe in 'life after death' and the 'last judgement' but if I am wrong about that then I think The Almighty is sophisticated enough to judge you by your 'obvious religion.' By that I mean She will judge you by how you behaved while you were alive.
