A man without religion is like a fish without bicycle - Vique's Law
Boloji says, These are pretty much my thoughts too. Once we start religious franchises, the absolute power will start corrupting absolutely....it may be worthwhile to analyze why and how an unorganized religion like Hinduism could survive all these thousands of years. The simple answer is because it was never organized. If religion is for realization of God, then organized religion is definitely an oxymoron which can never succeed in practice. Leave it unorganized and Hinduism shall always remain a Sanatana Dharma with no beginning and no end. All that is required is physical protection for the followers but never the faith as such.

Very interesting image, Gopa. Thanks!
Vique's law seems to be a paraphrasing of:
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
I agree with you; India is a functioning anarchy in many ways, even in the matter of religion :-) Those are the only things that survive. Did you hear about the OS used by God? It's called K, normally referred to as K-OS ;-)
Also, that Boloji quote seems to be in line with what Jiddu said while dissolving the Order of the Star of the East:
~~~~~
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land…. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices. You must climb towards the Truth, it cannot be "stepped down" or organized for you.

Thanks Raama. Jiddu said it very well, I think. For the past one week, due to Hurricane Ike, we too are using the same OS:-(
