A few Words..

There are many maps, to the same destination.
Maps being Religions, Destination being where we will all end up.

I hold a different belief.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

[OldTrees]

Religions are more akin to paths then to maps. Depending on the topography there might be only one humanly traversable path to the destination.

i must answer: all hail the hypno-toad!

Are you saying we will all end up in the same place? What do you mean by that? ???

It sounds like you're trying to say all religions can somehow be equally valid, and I agree. I don't think any of them are valid!

Here's an interesting conclusion my wife came to in a moment of questionable lucidity.

Astrophysicists have come to the conclusion that our universe is a hologram.  The "outside edge" of the universe contains on it all of the information that the inside space contains within it; more importantly every individual element of the hologram contains the pattern of the entire hologram within it. 

Seriously, you can look that up.  It's modern science in action.

Likewise, modern psychology has come to the conclusion that there is no unified personality; each of us is 'composed' of dozens of different 'people' that constantly struggle for dominance, and depending on the context of a given situation, different personas emerge. 

My wife's conclusion was that if the universe is a hologram, and every sentient individual (that we know of) is composed of dozens of different 'people', then perhaps the universe itself is composed of dozens of different 'systems' that constantly vie for dominance, with any one of them being completely true within certain contexts.

Personally, I think she's a f***king genius, but then, I married her.

Interesting. Are there multiple systems that fight to govern which systems have dominance? (PS: note the recursive nature of this question.)

Your wife.. Seriously just blew my mind beyond belief. BRAVO!!

Do you actually mean anything by this, or is it just a meaningless platitude? I hate to be harsh, but it seems like completely substanceless wishful thinking.

[Scaredgirl]

What if you have the wrong map? You get lost, right?

It's whatever you want to classify it as, this is just what i believe.

There's no wrong map as long as you really believe in what you have chosen. It can be Jesus, Buddha, science, pink unicorn or nothing, if you live how you want to, there's nothing to regret.

You can't know anything about the destination but you can believe in how it can be.
