If You Had To Choose A Religion...
<div class="IPBDescription">Athiests and Agnostic only, please.</div> If you had to adopt a religion right now, what would it be? This means, following it's morals, etc.
I think I'd rather believe in the "Jewish" God, as the Jews believe a reightous man who doesn't know God will go to heaven. I think that should be what God is more like if he exists; A loving person that understands our brain forces us to be skepticle, and allows us to not even know him, but if we are reightous, we will be saved from eternal hell, etc. etc.
What are your choices?

*is currently Athiestic, "**** religion"*
EDIT: rofl @ swift, thats one of my favorite movies XD
It also doesn't involve quite so many stories, it's a theory rather than a mythology you know?
I mean, I can understand how people could believe in spirits but believing that this spirit said or did something thousands of years ago just doesn't push my buttons.
<--Raised Theravada branch. Now I don't considered myself in any of the major branches, but still a Buddhist.
Either that or Scientology. Not because I believe in it at all, but because it's utterly crazy and I wouldn't be able to do anything there (do they have sermons or anything?) without breaking down in laughter. Talk about a great religion.
lol I woulda said that butyou beat me to it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm a bit rusty but I don't think sacrifices were necessary (not saying that they didn't take place to please the Gods or ask for something)... I think I just need to fall in battle. I can do that.
It wouldn't involve doing anything I'm not too used to anyways; I try not to kill anything intentionally (I've helped eject many an insect from our house without hurting/killing them :p) and I used to meditate a lot so getting back into it wouldn't be a problem :D
<b>Theravada Buddhism</b> (sometimes called Southern Buddhism; occasionally spelled Therevada) "has been the dominant school of Buddhism in most of Southeast Asia since the thirteenth century, with the establishment of the monarchies in Thailand, Burma, Cambodia and Laos."
<b>Mahayana Buddhism</b> (sometimes called Northern Buddhism) is largely found in China, Japan, Korea, Tibet and Mongolia.
<b>Tibetan Buddhism</b>, which developed in isolation from Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism because of the remoteness of Tibet.
Since the late 19th century:
<b>Modern Buddhism</b> has emerged as a truly international movement. It started as an attempt to produce a single form of Buddhism, without local accretions, that all Buddhists could embrace.
Those that say they want to follow buddism, might do well to pick a sect, or at least have knowledge of which one they fall into better.
Geez, you make dancing naked sound like a chore.
Pfft. The sun provides all. Seriously, if I were going to worship something, it'd be the sun.
