most of those 40,000 varieties allow scripture cherry picking, so there will never be any restriction or inconvenience or contradiction between ones personnel life and their professed faith. The individuals faith can also be precisely 'fine tuned', should 40,000 variations on Christianity be insufficient, just ignore anything undesirable in whatever version of the Bible your faith suggests, and if needed, make up any additional scriptural imperatives as desired.
Allowing the followers to be in charge of their religion is just so damn convenient, other faiths have to be jealous.
Even so, to a degree you are correct. We do have the freedom to Worship God any way we want. The litmus is not in a set of religious Doctrine or rules as most suppose, it is in the greatest command we have. We are to love God with all of our being, and our neighbor as ourselves. the first part of this command would have us Love God with all of our hearts mind Spirit and strength. Now because we are all different this worship to this degree will look different from person to person depending on what God gave us to work with..
unfortunately modern christianity teaches a LOT more than just " love God with all your heart and love others as you love yourselves " and actually this religion in all its forms no matter what corrupted translated bible they read from everyone interprets differently , and it produces people who were like the hypocritical judgemental pharasees that jesus was so outspoken against .
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
