Greetings!
Basically, because this tends to lead to scattered results, with everyone cooking up his or her own random beliefs, many of which may be extremely wrong if not outright harmful! And the result of having everybody doing this can be pure chaos. Further, one not infrequently tends unconsciously to "bend" such conclusions & beliefs to fit one's own prejudices and preferences.
Personally, I'm honest enough to admit I don't come anywhere near knowing it all, and am more than happy to subscribe to a religion that, after thorough investigation, I have concluded to be the best path not only for myself but for humanity generally!
Peace,
Bruce
i dont see the need for you to subscribe to a pre-existent religion; why not just develop your beliefs individually and feed growth through study of similar and dissimilar systems?
