Caught in the act. LOL ! It's simply because I equate religion with dogma and that I do not align with the concept of dogma.
Shin'Ar my friend, in your understanding, what is the value of dogma ?
I would suggest IMHO, that just because religion is corruptible and requires great discrimination and investigation, this does not mean that it does not have value or that truth cannot be squeezed from its fruit.
Religion is only dangerous when one is caught up in the traditional aspects with no sense of seeking the truth from within it. Blind faith has no value.
I believe that religion religion is just the vessel of secure deliverance. As Wanderer stated, it becomes a means of preparation for higher understanding at which time the traditions which have been used by the Ancients to carry truth from generation to generation in vessels of secrecy and protection, were spread throughout a variety of sources so that it must be discerned with great understanding and evolved thinking. Then the seeker can gather those truths from their various receptacles and put together the entire picture. In this way such teaching is not lost forever when one singularity is destroyed.
