Recipe for Religion:

 

Season to Taste

 

All religions are human constructs. The overwhelming tendency through history is for religions to be constructed to reflect and revere the values of the culture rather than attempting to mold the culture into a place of nurture and respect. The great spiritual teachers, like Jesus, said such religions were worthless.

 

If we are going to create a wise and useful religion it must reflect values like love, compassion, justice, peace-making, forgiveness and inclusiveness.
