If you created your own religion, what would it be like?

There would be no preachers. The tenets of peace, tolerance, and nonviolence would be written in the sand at low tide. Anyone expressing an interest in becoming an advocate of the "faith" would be banned for life. There would be no buildings, politics, or symbols.\n\nI would keep the wine and biscuits though! Lol!

It would be nice to have a world government, I think, along the lines of the UN but with a bit more teeth and backbone, but a world religion?  Not a chance.  I for one would never give up my personal religious views to be subjugated by any of the mainstream religions again.  Of course, if there's another Holy War started up and Christians and Muslims wipe themselves out the way it seems like might happen, then we'll see.  Buddhism is at least close to what I practice.\n\nAs for peace, I dont' think that total world peace will ever be possible.  Humans are too greedy, stubborn and materialistic.

I was baptized Catholic as a baby and raised that way throughout my early childhood. After a while my family stopped going to church, and I went on a period of self-exploration. I studied different religious ideas, beliefs, doctrines, etc. and pieced together what made logical, rational, reasonable sense in my opinion. From that I formed my own personal path. I followed it, and preferred not being a part of organized religion because creating my own path meant that my faith could grow and change as I grew and changed (and learned more) instead of remaining fixed and never evolving into something better.\n\nThen a friend of mine introduced me to Wicca. It takes a lot of work and study (I am still), but it allows solitary paths. Its lack of dogma also allows for your faith to grow and change. The more I learned about it, the more it coincided with the beliefs I'd already put together through my soul-searching. Since then I have considered myself a solitary Wiccan.\n\nI think this is the proper way to go about finding religion. Everyone's always saying things like, "I've found religion," or (specifically), "I've found Jesus," but more often than not, IT finds THEM. They believe it because they were raised to believe it, and/or people told them to. They didn't find it for themselves, or even bothered to figure it out. I formed a religion to fit me, rather than conforming myself to fit a religion.

I will ask him just for a brief moment to show the origin of every religion its purpose,and to show the current path that world religions are travelling.so people can wake up and start searching him within themselves.and see the reality they are all living in.then everything will be settled

Apologize profusely for not believing, but I would plead my case and explain that all that I have done in my life would add up to the same. And that in all cases I have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who stands by their religion. I learned a long time ago that nothing should change the way you feel about your convictions, not even angels, because the evil one can disguise himself as an angel of light.

Well I would probably become a gnostic. Hey, come to think of it that's exactly what happened! ;)

That's how all the other religions started.  Next you'll decide that you created the universe and that we should bow down and adore you.
