In my opinion, this assortment of good and band ideas is largely the case with ANYBODYS worldview and ideas for how things come about and what the best way to behave is. We're all pretty stupid and illogical most of the time, religion just gives people a framework for that stupidity. |
^ it shows a lack of thinking "outside the box"
it shows that they want to conform to a set of ideas not their own, voiding some of their individuality. |

At the same time, like you said, following somebody elses mantras may cause you to lose some of your individuality. In the end, though, you may well end up following your own mantras so it might not be all that different, except for the time spent developing your own personal dogma. We become pretty set in our ways sometime in our 20's so anticipating the continuation of your own originality and flexibility, and ignoring established frameworks, may not be the best way to go. You may just end up following your own equally useless set of mental rules. I think I've probably started doing that myself by now. |

Just because you associate with people with similar beliefs makes you a conformist? No. It means that youve weighed all the options and found the religion that you believe to be true. How is that conforming? |

God is a construct to explain that which man cannot comprehend.
Existence is but a grain of sand on all the beaches of the world, infinitly infintesimal. Having faith is irrational and a waste of time. Focus on the here and now, not the hereafter. |

Woh woh, every person is an individual so what you're saying is no one follows trends? Then you go on saying people blindly follow bushes lead...I'm confused. Also your lord killed a whole city because he thought they were gay, I believe that goes against the "thou shall not murder" thing and breaking those 10 commandments is bad, not good. So really "The Lord" is bad. You fail. |

The Dixie chicks should not be faulted for having an opinion, especailly now that it seems to hold a majorities sway. |
Thats accurate..really. Its not a trend to have an opinion..or to express..no matter how popular it may be...they vocalized how they felt about Bush's Admin...and the rest of the country was in denial..
