Just a question, but doesn't it make sense to not choose one set religion or philosophy, but take a bite from each and suit it to your own taste? I mean it's like clothing... I can buy a shirt that matches yours, but is a different size, right? Or buy the same brand/style of shirt, but in a different color.

I used to believe in christianity until they couldn't explain ancient "myths" which appeared in various cultures all over the world, which were similar but a tad diffeent. How could all these spread-out countries all have the mythos of elves, faeries, etc and yet a religion with no such stories is going to tell them they are all wrong. I got into witchcraft thinking that they might have the answers - I found a few more than I expected, but at the same time, witches were as divided as christians...

So, I turned to eastern philosophy, specificly tao and zen. Only here did I find my "final" answers. Tao teaches "your way may not be my way. we all walk different roads, but all roads lead to tao".

So, if we are all going to the same destination, but taking different paths there, who says we have to take a specific road?

Any thoughts on this?
