Buddhism and Taoism are fine. with exception of few things that I don't really like about them.
Buddhism claims to be the path to enlightenment. not recognizing that the monks and generally ppl of earth have trouble graduating to 4D. and enlightenment is beyond that.
What I'm saying is that many of the monks may not be wanderers and at the stage that's suitable for the things they do (way of life)
Some may still even lust for sex! and they suppress it.. That doesn't sound wise or healthy.
Also the uniforms (robes) and the no hair rule they have is unnecessary.

Well it has. I'm in constant retreat.
I see now that it's my own anger and disappointment at myself for failing to accept things perfectly..
If I feel bad about something it's made worse by that guilt.
But I still believe the smaller half of it is related to things that can't be changed and probably should.
I get into this ''anarchist'' mode automatically at times.

I am a Christian because I was born and grew up in such a family and environment. It's the closest to my understanding and thinking. In some other environment I could easily be something else. That's why appreaciate also other religions and resources and try to know them and learn from them. And I question things all the time. I don't think blind faith leads to truth. Neither scepticism.
I was always cast out from society so I didn't get to inherit a religion. but I generally think if the humans want to believe something, it's easy for the rulers to plant it in their holy scriptures. they've done this often it seems.

That's a very cool thing!
