Religion and the Individual

There are two different styles of religion. The first is a doctrine based religion where the individual adapts himself to the faith. The second is an individualistic type of religion in which one adapts the faith to suit them.

In truth, religion is similar to a shoe.

If a person had one shoe and expected everybody's foot to fit into it perfectly, this would simply not happen.

Similarly, with religion, everybody cannot fit into the idealistic concepts that are the foundation of their beliefs.

The purpose of religion is to help people find meaning and guidance.

It is not something to force other people into as they simply may not fit into that spiritual mode of thinking.

At the end of the day, decisions about religion are the most personal and, consequently, important choices that we will ever make.
