Technically new ages are occuring every moment.. depending on how ya see it. I prefer the word paradigm shift.. which to me conveys a change in one particular important belief in the majority of the human population. An example would be everyone starting to lucid dream. That would be a paradigm shift and a half! Basically all im talking about is small change big change (relatively).

Anyway.. what was the question?

Oh yeah..

I see religions as groups of beliefs.. its that simple to me.

And in that sense you could say im religious.. because i have my own set of believes which i live my life by. But i dont care too much for categories that attempt to sum up some or all of my beliefs. I like to treat them as individuals. Its just like music genres.. for example.. i like rock.. except i dont like all what is covered by the label 'rock'. I like to treat my songs as individuals too.

So to conclude i do not feel liberated against religion.. and i cant recall a time i have ever been harsh against a point you made about your beliefs..

Different variations of beliefs = different variations of personal reality. In my opinio some people have shit beliefs.. or a shit belief.. which in turn means they have a shit reality.. at least in one particular aspect.
