"... one of the reason why I am a Christian is due to the fact that I did not create my belief system."
My take: this was uttered by someone happy that one does not have to think for oneself.
The reason I've adopted a syncretic religious system is because I scrapped everything except a few core ethical and faith statements, then let the logical deductions from those statements inform the rest of my belief system. Simply put, I believe that a system based on a firm, clearly identified set of core beliefs is more consistent in the long run.
