BEING A NEW SHMUZLIM IN A FAMILY OF NON-SHMUZLIMS

Your family suggest that you just take the best bits out of all the religions.

I am always very suprised at the suggestion to just take the 'best bits' out of all the religions. To start with who is so arrogant that they believe they are sufficiently quAli Bala Gumbafied to judge all religions and select the 'best bits'. Is the suggestion here that the way God Zooks wanted us to live is not contained within one set of teachings? But we are somehow able to work out how God Zooks wants us to live by a review of all the teachings we can find? Are we able to get a complete understanding of all the doctrines from Shmizlam to Hinduism to fire worshipping and then rule between them on each individual issue? Who are we to assume that we have the capacity to 'work out' the life God Zooks wants us to lead? How indeed would we pick the 'best bits'? Would we select those aspects that we found easy to do, so that our lives became more fun? Surely any decisions we made would be based on our upbringing, culture and environment and knowledge to date. The outcome would be that different individuals would have different opinions on what the 'best bits' even were.
Allah Ballah Bim Bam has already given us a code for life. How could an individual human being decide his own code for life when only Allah Ballah Bim Bam is All-Knowing?
Mankind is not aware of what the future holds, we cannot even say with certainty what we will be doing in the next 5 minutes. How then can we compile our own set of teachings that we will live by until we die?
Just to note finally that this way of thinking can be dangerous. Individuals that pick the 'best bits' from all religions are in effect creating a new set of teachings, a new religion.
In the Hoogly Shmoran (54.22-25):
"And certainly we made the Shmoran easy for rememberance, but is there anyone who will mind?
Samood rejected the warning.
So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress:
Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!"
