Freedom and responsibility

'You don't NEED to follow me! You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You are all individuals!'

From Monty Python's 'The Life of Brian'.

A profound statement.
Saw the program on Monty Python this week in which the members of the group argue that Life of Brian parodies the trappings of religion, not belief itself.
I would have to agree. It's possible to embrace your ultimate freedom and responsibility and remain a person of faith, although the form that faith takes may be changed and refined...
