In your image what would the perfect religion be? What kind of god would it have if any? What would be the beliefs and practises that are involved in your perfect religion? and all that jazz

well...for a perfect religion to exist, I don't think that mankind could be around. We have a history of messing things up...

My religion would be that I am the God...everybody worships ME!!!! They can do anything they want and still get into heaven...but they have to worship me once a week or I shall smite them. Thats it

Sound like a dictatorship to me, god spare me from your religion.

The best religion is not religion at all.

Simple but elegant.
Complex but crude.
The words contain pride.
But the words cause this pride to dissolve upon contemplation.

Books could be written on this subject and could not have explained the subject better than these 8 words.

Or simply put, I agree.

Why I believe the truth in your words may not be the same as why you believe the truth in those words.

Religions tend to focus on "why to believe" and "what to believe" but not on "how to believe".
When one learns "how to believe" religions are not required.

How is that a "super ego trip of dominance"?? If you think thats being a dictator then you should think the same as Christianity. Basically if you dont worship god and do what he says...you go to hell. God is an ego maniac. Everybody has to follow what he says...or GO TO HELL!!! With my religion people could do whatever they wanted...since nothing would be "evil"...and still get into heaven...aslong as they worshipped me. I see Christianity as being worse...much worse.

dreamlandmafia,

ha, ha, ha, so not ego trip for worshiping you right.

I never said that...i said that its not a "super ego trip of dominance." And that the Christian god has a much bigger ego if he makes everybody worship him all the time by following his god damned book and #ed up rules and if they dont they go to hell. All mine would be is they can do wtvr they want aslong as they just worship me once a week. It can just be one small "I love you DreamLandMafia"...thats it. Its not because id be on a big ego trip...just that I let them do whatever they want and still get into heaven than they should be showing me a LITTLE gratitude.

Maybe you should be reading a little better...k?
