Are Organized Religions Really Sacrosanct?

(Read the inside stories of the corporate sector in the form of short management case studies at: http://shyam.bhatawdekar.com or http://management-anecdotes.blogspot.com/ or http://corporate-case-studies.blogspot.com/)

Everything Changes as One Converts into a New Organized Religion

In the previous post, the subject of religion and god men etc was just touched upon. Why not discuss a few more aspects of it?

In one life of a human being, he is likely to shift from one employer to other employer, migrate from one country to another country or relocate himself from one state to the other state of the same country etc. It is fairly normal.

When he changes his employer, his professional association gets cut off from his previous company and a fresh association with the new company starts. He is asked to forget the values, culture, rules and regulations and bosses of the previous employer and follow the new sets of values, culture, rules and regulations and bosses etc as prescribed by the new employer. If he has to join the new company, he better start following them.

Same thing happens when a person migrates from one state to the other state or from one country to the other country. He is asked to demonstrate his allegiance to the country or state of immigration and cut off his allegiance to the previous country or state if he wishes to become an integral part of the new country or state. He better start following all the constitutional provisions only of the new country or state.

Something similar happens for those people who convert from their existing organized religion to another organized religion. Each organized religion has its own god or gods or god's representative(s), its own sets of commandments, its own rituals, it own places of worship and its own current bosses (god men) etc. Just like when one changes his job from one organization to the other organization and he is supposed to follow everything of the new organization and forget everything of the old organization, in case of conversion from one organized religion to other organized religion, one is supposed to inherit all the new sets of things described earlier and forget the old ones.

So, is there anything sacrosanct whether it is god or gods or god's representative(s), commandments or values, rituals, guidelines, rules or regulations, places and locations of religious routines etc? Nothing seems sacrosanct.

That's why many people who get self employed and become their own bosses, they define yet new sets of values, culture, guidelines, rule and regulations for themselves.

Same way a person who does not wish to affiliate with any organized religion may define his own religion and its commandments and other things etc.

Doesn't that sound pretty logical?
