Well I just got to thinking, and I have just thought of a topic for discussion that may spark the interest of some attentive young adults!
Sorry, I won’t delay it anymore.
What I was wondering was, “If you had the choice to choose any religion and follow it’s direct guidelines, what religion would it be and why?”
The reason I say “choice” is because some people grow in a family where a certain religion is just a part of it. They might grow up Catholic and are forced by their parents to abide by their standards.
Before you reply think about it. Also, this is not a post that is meant to offend anyone or to judge anyone and their religion. It is all fun and games.

“If you could”?
You can.
I chose to research all of them I could find, and decided that belief is illogical.
I would choose to make up my own religion, it would be just like christianity without all the stupid crap.

Well I said “could” because some parents restrict you. You know, they slap you on the wrist.
i dont know… i’m trying to figure it out now though my mom is a Unitarian Universalist and there’s this class all about answering that question :P. but yeah i still don’t know yet.

Yeah. I could always force my beliefs on others until people recognize it. That’s what every other religion did. And the Islamic religion is the worst in present-day regard.

Then smack them in the face and tell them they have no right to force their religion on you. If they try, tell them you can report them for child abuse.
They’ll back off.

We need to do a counter “above the influence” commerical, you know?
“While Steven was busy doing pot, he did little else.
He just stayed in the basement toking all day long.
He didn’t go out and party all nite long.
Didn’t drink and drive..
Didn’t impregnate a minor.
And became uncommonly mellow for a teenager.
Be above the influence.”

Censorship wins again…..
Rockachick, I think that if you always do what you think is right, you’ll be fine.

I know most religions very well, and any I don’t know well, I have good links for.
Shout me anytime you have a question or a comment or whatever.

Anti-pot commercials are commercials for pot. All they do is make people interested in pot, whereas they probably wouldn’t have known it before.

Yeah, I’d have to agree with that. When I saw that, all I could think is, “Good, I need a nice long break from crap.”
Those anti-marijuana commercials are all fabricated and over exaggerated. Pot will not ruin your life or put you under the control of other people…

Or do any of the other crap they say.
And kids know this, because kids aren’t stupid.
They know that it’s just adults trying to make them behave.
So what do you think kids are going to do when an adult tells them not to smoke pot? To not do ANYTHING? Of course they’re going to go right the f**k out and try it.
I’ve studied quite a few religions. I was fortunate enough not to be raised in a religious family. I think that makes it easier to choose a religion at same later point, because you don’t have a family that could disown you for making your own choice!
Still, I have yet to find a religion that I would commit 100% and probably never will.
Religion by its nature, means you doing things religiously.
It requires a high level of discipline if you want to follow it whole-heartedly.
So far in my travels I have extracted bits of different religions and added them to my philosophy.
But they are only beliefs, and do not constitute an actual religion!

I hate the word religion… but after living my life for a quarter of a century… I chose Christianity.
no religion is completely correct. each religion is corrupted, by capitalism mostly. anyway . . im catholic but being catholic has loadsa other values associated with it and if i changed mi religion then i would feel like im changing my values . . im irish - you might understand?
claire xx
Let’s say for the sake of ease, that everyone has 100 beliefs- just to use a manageable number.
Now, along comes this religion that shares 92 of your beliefs. Are you going to sacrifice your core beliefs, or change them- even just 8 of them- simply to fit under a label?
I say call yourself whatever you want, but if you don’t believe exactly what it tells you to, then know that you’re not really what you’re claiming to be. Equally, you and only you know what your “100 beliefs” are. You and only you know if you’re forsaking any of them.
I’m more into personal spirituality; just believing what you believe because you believe it. No labels, no ceremony and no dogma needed. Because no two people are going to agree 100% on everything, so logically, there should be as many religions as there are people.
