Couldn’t you create an agency that just researches all the famous religions and puts you through a process of salvation according to their doctrines? So in Christianity, you’d get on your knees repenting, as Moslim you’d . . . bow to Meccha? I think?
Well - I wonder if there’s a lot of money to be made.
Not all religions offer ‘salvation’, par se. Ya list off the christian-muslim stuff first, as always. Well that’s pretty circular because that originated from one ethnic culture, that’s not the width of human ‘spirituality’.
I’m going with a percent indigenous tribes and china for now. It wont be a salvation it’ll be a view about the ways of nature.
Well I want solutions, but I find religion rather trivial. I just think it’d be nice to sell a label: “For $X we will save your soul by the following popular religions . . .” Some religions would even support it, although they would probably want a cut. Some will probably say that as long as people don’t -mean- what they say, it doesn’t count. Under Christianity, you can just pretend to repent and not be saved.
I like trivializing the monopolizing religions for the freedom of the broadly suppressed ones. That’s why I pinprick the common ones.
Ha ha! Very good, gaia. I think you may be on to something here. It’s sort of a ‘hedging of one’s bets’ after Pascal, Constantine, and other famous ‘play-it-safe’ guys.
The Ancient religions with multiple Gods had your situation down pat. You can try it the way they did/do. Even in the 10 Commandments the God admits there are other Gods. So You just do it like the ancients. You have your patron God then you have loyalty to the others that surround your patron God. You respect and honor them and their teachings etc. Not hard to do and it does not conflict.
Unfortunatly in the religions where you get saved, you are also damned if you try for salvation another way. Theres money to be made, but only from dumb fucks.
