That would be a mad mix wouldn't it?

 

[sunni]

suppose it depends on how you look at it.

you get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right"

A Perennialist? Acceptance that the varying claims of different religions have components of and subscribe to the Universal Truth. And I am SURELY not an expert on this sunni!

If you eschew the dogma, that may work, but otherwise you'll have some conflicts.

There's a different between choices that have immediate and eternal consequences. You can pick and choose, but you can't say all religions are equally right; many of them conflict.

Christianity, as a whole, can't decide whether or not women preachers are allowed. Given the outright divisions between many religions, how can you say that your position makes sense? Maybe I'm just reading you too literally, but multiple religions (and denominations thereof) are directly in contradiction with each other.

They are all "right", collectively, to those that believe in them. The "Belief in the One True _____" is a Universal Truth. Tenants of different religions are the pathways that lead to the "Belief in the One True ______" which then is Universal. IMVVHO

If it works for you, and you don't feel inclined to enforce it upon others; I will be the last man to fight it. Your particular spiritual preference doesn't make a bit of sense to me, but it does to you; and that's cool if you don't claim it as universal.

So, for you, it's a bit of everything that makes a meaningful whole?
