	Viva the Second Objective.  We are each free to study
the world's religions and select those parts that we like, and
reject the rest.  This is what Theosophy is all about.  Take only
what fits into your worldview.  Take only what works for you and
leave the rest.  Its called being eclectic.  Works for me.
