good thread...i would only add reference to a great book i listened to on tape driving to/from my home to pensacola fl. Seems Pi (the storyteller and author) was a hindi, but got into his head that the more religions he belonged to the greater his chances in the present and in the hereafter. He became a catholic then a muslim (at age 10); the only ones who became upset were the preacher-types who "converted" him.
In a kidnap sit, I would become one with them as well, join their "religion" whatever...your soul isn't hurt by this but may be in fact be better off, since you have one more path to salvation or wherever the experience may lead. i believe in one motto: do whatever enhances your chances. As the gent above said, communication with our fellow travelers on this metagasmacallistic world hurtling thru space and time is the energy that propels us.
As is often said, if no one was in the forest to hear the tree fall, then it never fell...thus spake Zarathuustra.
aloha!
