Is there a religion worth following?

[Pedro de San Patricio]

The only ones that are even interesting are Mormonism, Voodoo, and Islam. I couldn't be Mormon because it's made up. I couldn't do Voodoo because I'd really, really rather not sacrifice a chicken, even if I do understand the reasoning behind it. I couldn't be Muslim because it's fundamentally a violent and oppressive religion. I reject Judaism for many of the same reasons as Islam. I'm not just down with considering people my inferior just because of their ethnicity.

The only religion worth following is the one you choose. Choose wisely.

Why must thou "follow"...?

​

 

[Pedro de San Patricio]

As a synonym for "subscribe to" or "believe in" or "accept".

It has something to do with the saying, 'he who is his own lawyer, has a fool for a client'. That's the only hint I'm giving you. Otherwise, you're on your own.

Why not instead create a spiritual/ religious system of your own design, while seeking to understand the beauty and wisdom in every religion? There is power to be found in all of them.

Why must people always look to a "prophet", or a guide, a priest or a shaman or whoever to lead them spiritually? Why let another's religious views dominate your destiny?

Forge your own path.

Because it would be made up and not actually true. :3

I'm all for any religion that advocates wild sex on the beach and treating everyone nice.

Have you attended any of these churches or just going by what you know from the internet? I think a good place to start would be attend one each weekend and see which one feels right to you. That way you get a better feel from the people there and the atmosphere you can't get from articles or online pundits. I do find it odd you didn't list any of the Christian religions there, othe than Mormon, they are Christian just a bit expanded.

You confuse religion with desire.

Because, in 'Goddess Ashtara' I do not trust. Nothing personal, tho'.

If it is your Will to become somebody's follower... if it your Nature to follow... go right on ahead. Yet still, I would encourage people to truly explore religion and spirituality beyond the limited experience of "following".

The LDS variant of Christianity is the only one I have any real interest in.

You kind of seem like a Thelemite, or at least a Crowley influenced something. Do you read the Liber AL?

Not at all. Most origin religions were all about procreation, realizing that if you're not having children your civilization is dying. Thus I support a religion that is about procreating and being nice to others.

Ahhh........okay.

Familiar with Thelema, are you? ^_^

I respect Crowley and Thelema. Yes I have read Liber AL, among other of Crowley's writings... but I have absorbed wisdom and lessons and culture from many spiritual/ religious systems. Thelema, the Abrahamic religions and the Judaic Kabbalah, various forms of Paganism/ Neopaganism, various forms of Buddhism, Luciferianism, O9A, Golden Dawn, Hinduism... there is beauty and power and truth to be found in all of them.

I would advocate Catholicism because even though we have the strictest rules, absolution is available to anyone no matter how badly they've fallen.

Churches of Cossacks


For our modern world of luxury pursuits (i.e., eTrade), the hypothetical stewardess involved in an intricate traffic-based airline narcotics ring can be construed as the prophetic harlot of Babylon.

It seems that Catholicism and Satanism are very intellectually colorful for modern-age discussions about the tedium/lucrativeness of lifestyle ornamentation (i.e., Facebook business flyers).
