The word of God

I read a commnt on a website i frequent a few minutes ago (and no i don't mean www.Danni.com either, ya pervert) regarding Religion. The comment was as thus:

"Religions don't tell you to look inside, they tell you to look outside, to the leaders of that religion."

It was something like that, anyway. And it got me thinking. (Yes, i do that sometimes...) Looking toward leaders is all very well if they can guide you in your growth toward something better, perhaps improving your chracter, or something of that nature, then looking outside of yourself is all very well. But what if, down the path that someone else has laid out for you, you disagree with your direction? What do you do?

Well, personally, i would speak to the leader of the religion, and if he so vociferously denies that i am able to follow my own path, then i would split from that religion and take the road my heart and concience guides me on. But if i had a leader who gently allowed me to explore my own way, then i would be happy to stay within the religion, seeing how things go.

The point to this entry? There isnt one, really. I'm just a bored recently unemployed man on a tuesday afternoon whilst everyone else in the house is asleep.

It's oh, so quiet...
