See it all goes under different names and slightly different expressions, but its the same iron fisted enforcement on threat of hell/God's wrath, the same idea of we have "the truth", we are "the ones truly saved". The spirit is the same, the religious garb on the outside is different, whether it be a dress and no make up, mormon underwear, a hijab, or knocking doors every saturday morning. All of these adherents, while claiming to serve God, find their ultimate identification with their religion, and not in Christ.

So your remedy is redesign your beliefs until you create your own personal religion? Claim it is ancient and not like the so called turn of the century religion you claim to be so above?
