I'm an agnostic, meaning I think all religions are equal, and no belief is better than another. I like to believe in things from various religions. Now, thing is, I'm often told that I'm just too cowardly/lazy to make up my mind. What's your take on this?
Well I think: I see nothing wrong with mixing religions, or only accepting part of a religion and dismissing other parts. E.g. I'm a christian, but I tend to take care of work on sundays, nevertheless. My friend is very interested in the teachings of Buddhism, but she still believes in a God. Especially since a lot of the older religions have got redundant, brutal or intolerant parts in their teachings, I think it's important to use your own brain and decide what is right for you. If Religion A says: "Honour your parents, but you can bash animals as much as you want, they're worthless", and Religion B says: "Respect animals, and don't work on Tuesdays", what's wrong then if I honour my parents but don't bash animals, respect animals but still work on Tuesdays?
Well, guess that sums it up for a start. Let's see what other people have to say on that.
