I've just decided that what makes a good religion is it's attention to themes that persist over time. Any religion that focuses on trends, social norms or other iconoclastic tools has it all wrong. Think about it! What really lasts in any religion? What is the core of any belief? How do you really end up practicing your faith each and every day? Is it the clothes you wear? No. Is it about how many times you turn up at the religious building? I don't think so. It's all in how we relate to the powers and/or forces of the universe which has nothing to do with whether or not a memorized or extemporaneous prayer is said or if meditatation is used instead of prayer. Some themes are: love, understanding, compassion, memory, respect for the good, peace, and trust. I may need to start a new blog!
