Institutionalism and neo institutionalism

Why do I recommend all people to always look for a church, to have a religion? For the simple reason: I am a political scientist from the institutionalist and neo institutionalist stream.

Only institutions can shape or format social behavior. I cannot invent a new language if only I use this language.

A sanitary system capable of taking the sewage away from the toilet in my house will only be useful if it is collectively built, because otherwise it will take the sewage into someone else's bite, so the sewage system only makes sense if it is collective.

Thus, without any novelty for Sociology, since fashion, the way we dress, tattoos, music and music styles, language, currency, everything was collectively agreed upon, although a few rebel against the socially accepted contract of how we will live in society, this contract is contingent, mandatory, and we don't vote on it, the invisible collective decides what we will choose within certain choices previously made by the collective, it is worth saying, the human being is a political and collective animal, we are property of the collective.

I am not dealing with the exceptions, I do not approve everything that society decides, I can abstain and take the burden of resistance to the main stream, or fashion, there is no infamous fashion, or extravagant fashion, or immoral fashion, because society decides what is fashion.

Our limit is only the yes or no I want for myself, anything beyond that brings social and even economic burdens, such as loss of status, employability or social exclusion.

Therefore, many things that have gone wrong in the past should serve us to reform the present, but society and human history do not follow a straight line, it seems to spiral or to be more like a circle, or a set of concentric circles, if it were an ascending line we would be in an extraordinary degree of evolution in social relations, Christianity bequeathed us the Inquisition, the Crusades, the hunt for red haired people, the Middle Ages, and yet Christianity has survived it all and only got worse, since Jesus Christ did not even know this religion, he never left Palestine, and was circumcised so he died a Jew, and yet, without having written any gospel or letter, he is quoted in all the gospels and letters of his apostles and disciples as if he really said everything that is attributed to him, I doubt that anyone has recorded the greatest and most beautiful improvisation of the bible, the sermon on the mount, sincerely for me it is the greatest proof that many things were implanted in the middle of true facts, without a video or tape recording it would be impossible for any bible writer or author to record that text of the Sermon on the Mount, so if it was not a revelation or a saying or as they call it a spiritual encounter the Sermon on the Mount is the greatest of all other bible hoaxes.

I still recommend attending any religion because it is the only institution that provides a model of socially acceptable behavior not legally instituted the only one capable of guaranteeing a minimum of respect for socially acceptable conduct on a personal level.
