Nah i dont agree with you here Worldquest. Because to think for yourself you have to take your beliefs from somewhere. And exploring those beliefs, when unchecked, can lead you to an entire spiral of more and more extreme beliefs...hell scientologists believe that an extraterrestrial froze humans into a burning volcano before the Universe was even created !
Organized religion is chosen by most because in those you are a sheep, you can follow the pack and not have to worry. In what you believe, which is, to me, spiritualism, you have no boundaries except what you subjectively believe is okay. That is terrible because the human mind is easily fooled.
And also how can you "pick and chose" what you believe ? its not like a car or a TV you cant just change who you are because it doesnt suit your mood of the day.
And once you realize that all of these beliefs are in fact funded on the simple fear of our own insignificance and of death, and reject them, can you really be free.
That is why i respect most atheists, it takes courage to face the truth. I know i am also congratulating myself by saying that, but i am cool with it
