Just Like Being Self-employed, You Can Have Your Own Religion as Defined by You

Refer to the previous post.

A few more comments on the subject of "how sacrosanct are organized religions". It was discussed that they are as good as any other organization or corporation. As you change the organization where you worked earlier and join a new organization, everything changes for you as soon as you join a new organization. Same with organized religion. The god(s), god's representative, the commandments, rituals, rules, regulations, guide lines and current bosses (god men) are all religion specific. They are not absolutes and so not sacrosanct.

And so if you decide to be self employed and wish to be your own boss and so, you have freedom to choose another set of commandments or values and processes, similar freedom is available to you if you choose not to affiliate yourself with any particular organized religion. You can define your own sets of good values as per your studied decisions to lead your life (which is what a religion really is). The chosen values should not be harmful to anyone in the human society including yourself; rather they should be of benefit to everyone including yourself.

For example for a person who does not wish to attach himself or herself to any organized religion, he or she can be guided in his or her life by a very simple value like "Think, feel and do good to self and others". That one liner can be one's religion- religion can be that simple and yet, that much loaded.
