I had a thought the other day that all different major religions are really like classrooms. We incarnate into certain cultures/religions to learn the requisite lessons. Each teacher/archetype/school has different strengths and weaknesses. Religion is just another template through which we can learn. I'd imagine those of us born into strict, dogmatic upbringings planned as much for ourselves; maybe building on Monica's theory, a great lesson to learn in 3D is accepting a concept but applying the same judgment against it as you would the opposing concept. Balancing everything, more or less. That makes a bunch of sense to myself.
