    Sam,

    I was fortunate enough to hear a tape of a talk by Alan Watts (from the
    50s). He was explaining Buddhism, Toa and Vedanta thought. He said that
    they were neither a philosophy nor a religion, but were a process to free
    oneself from the cultural induced trance. Anyway, he stated that the
    origins of the meaning of the word 'religion' was 'to bind'. Is this
    true? He further stated that like language, religion creates rules that
    bind a culture. Do you think this is true? Do you think to be bound to
    this culture is a good thing?

    I do not.
