Which Religion Would You Pick?

[broken_one]

(I thought this would be amusing...)

Hypothetical Question.

Supposing that all religions were true, and you couldn't pick your own faith, which one would you choose and why?

I guess you mean not Christianity.


I would probably be a Hindu, I find their beliefs and practices to be extremely fascinating.

 

[Saucy]

Well, I believe in absolute truth. I didn't pick a religion because I wanted to be a Christian. I studied it for years and it is the truth. Because Jesus is real and God is real, I will serve Him and love Him with all my heart. And because they're so drastically different, it's impossible that they all be true...they contradict one another.

If you couldn't handle functioning on a fictional premise, or simply not posting and moving on...just go. Please.

I wasn't trying to cause a problem. I answered your question and gave my answer why. Even if they are all true, they still contradict each other. So I'd choose the one that fit what I felt was true with my worldview.

Not Judaism. No bacon, no thanks!

So no Islam either...

Probably some form of nature based religion (Paganism, Wicca), or Buddhism.

IDK fundamentalist Christian... I wouldn't do well with a God who loved me or someone I was supposed to love. Something violent and mean... maybe even worshiping a chick.

Probably for the best that I'm not into religion lol.

 

[Rothen]

Paganism might be cool.

You also can't pick your own in this hypothetical scenario.

This.

Even now I verge on pantheism quite a bit.

 

[Saucy]

Oh right. Couldn't pick my own faith?

 

[MehGuy]

I guess not... sorry, probably not a lot of quality choices out there...

 

[Saucy]

I'd be Jewish so Sharon would take me on the island with her

 

[explodingboy]

All pretty much the same these days. I'd have to go with something old school, flat earth and cause effect driven.

 

[Non sequitur]

Some of the old-world type ones, to where I could pray to something and would get it; money, war, etc.

Then do something good with it all

 

[MehGuy]

It would also be fun to be in a religion that spread it's faith by the sword.

 

[crishmael]

I'd probably be a Buddhist.

 

[Socktastic]

Heathenry.

Honestly given my current expression of faith it isn't a huge leap to any strand of paganism. In fact I probably wouldn't even pick an official strand, just float about the countryside like I already do. The interweaving of nature and spirituality is appealing, but it's not exactly exclusive to pagan paths and whatever path I selected i'd do the same thing as I do now, it's just the focus that changes. In Christianity it's one God and a collection of particular traditions, with most pagan paths it's multiple Gods and a collection of various traditions.

Why? Because I can.

EDIT: Having said that I get quite irritated by many of the younger people running around saying they're wiccan/druids/pagan just because they don't take what they're doing as anything more than a title to shock people. Then I get irritated by a lot of Christians as it is. I'm just an irritable person. I should just partake in hermitism.
