33. I agree, except that last bit. There is no requirement for religious consistency, at all.

My religion might say I can eat beef, pork or chicken meat...except on Fridays during a yearly 40-day period which does not include Sundays, starting the Sunday that follows the first full moon after March 21, the vernal (spring) equinox.

Or it might say that I can eat bread but if I do, I must wash my hands afterward. Or say a long blessing; either will do.

It might have been founded with the concept of women as equals but now says that we are clearly...not, and I must act accordingly, and hide my skin and weigh my court testimony as half that of a man.

Or it may tell me that I can get vaccinations...except that one that happens to be politically charged at this moment in time. Because it might have used fetal cells from the same ancient cell lines as the other vaccinations.
