What's your opinion on Liberal Religion?

[Ferrocyanide]

My take was that not so many people are as thoughtful as he is concerning the intellectual side. I suspect that people join or stay for reasons having more to do with lifestyle -- camaraderie, support, ethical encouragement, etc. And I think these are perfectly good reasons to be in a religion and, traditionally, probably more important than the theology.

I was part of a group. We would attack other people, we would hang them, burn them, kill their children and take their livestock, the gold, copper, iron, silver, mercury.
The camaraderie was great. We gave each other ethical encouragement and we lived the good life.

Thousands of years in the future, my descendants are still in this club.
They don’t do any killing and burning of people, but they understand the holy work that their ancestors (me) had to do.

If I wanted to do it sincerely, I had to accept the philosophy. And I couldn't agree with the metaphysics, so I stopped.

You left Zen Buddhist?
What was in the metaphysics that you did not agree with and why did you not agree with it?
