Religion in a Nutshell

[sdi]

My spiritual path in life has, to date, wandered near or through each of the following:

• Christianity: Earth is a test for sorting beings into good and bad.
• Taoism: Earth is. (What more do you want?)
• Buddhism: Earth is a nightmare from which one ought to awaken.
• Occultism: Earth is a kindergarten where beings learn the basics of how to live.
• Neoplatonism: Earth is a borderland where exiled divinities eke out a meager subsistence.

While each of these has a fragment of truth to it, none of them have been entirely satisfactory to me. I was pondering, today, what I might say if somebody asked me to describe my religion in a single sentence. This is what I came up with:

• Earth is a womb where baby angels gestate before birth.
