But I was struck by this phrase:
When I look at religion, I don’t conceive of it primarily in terms of beliefs which I, as an individual, accept and therefore consider binding; rather, I see it as one of several (often, it is true, conflicting) communities by and through which my sense of myself, and my sense of what I believe, is constituted.
For those of you who can't follow the overly elaborate syntax and high falutin' vocabulary, I'll translate:
For me, the gospel is not the most important thing in my life. I serve many masters.
I guess that's the loophole.
If Russell serves more than two masters, the scriptures no longer apply, I guess.
