And with that said, we'll keep it at a discussion-level

Well.. relligion is imho for weak-minded that want something to go after, and not have to lay down new tracks here in life..
The thought of a devine force is absurd, and physicaly hard to define, therefor in my world, not possible, and thereby no reason to take any notice of, until otherwhise proven so.

I must say, i'm a humanist and darwinist into my boans, and science is my relligion..

Every relligion is wrong in the long run..

Humans.... oboy.. it's amazing we haven't annihilated ourself yet.. Humans are a race living on overtime right now.. We'r by nature selfdestructive.. and if there is a god, why did it make us that way?

Naaah... relligion? not for me thanks... but everyone can think what they want, as loong as they don't enforce theire oppinions on others.. i have a good friend who is a priest and have his own church with quite a few followers... good for him.. good for them.. and we are still friends, due to our fundamental differences in belifes..

I should have known you would start up a new religion. You're the kind of person to do so. It's always the crazy people who do.

But religions aren't for me. I could never devote myself to a higher being, I can't even devote myself to an hour of study a day.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Schabernakel-anbeter, but I don't think he's recruiting members to start a new religion. I think he wants to share his philosophies and provoke deep discussions. Perhaps the topic title was written tongue-in-cheek?

And besides what good would a religion started over the internet be. All your members will be from different countries, how will you mass together and start protests. :blink:

Religion is neede for people to find a way to shelter themselves from their own fears. That's all! Actually we talked about it in THE MEANING OF LIFE THREAD!

Yeah but we kind of went a little off topic, not that I'm saying its wrong. He wanted ideas for a new religion so far no one has given him any.

So does anyone have any ideas for his religion?

*cough cough*

Me and my friend once started a new religion....
Puffinism, we called it.
It didn't go far though... we gave up after 2 days :whistle:

Nobody wanted to join

Aaaaaanyways...

I'll create a new kind of Vatican / Mecca for that religion here.

(First idea - so send me all the gold and money made of followers gifts LOL )

Is that realy all what's religion for? :blink:

Or religion main purpose is to feed one of Moslow's needs? :blink:

Usually a religion starts as a source of knowledge and divinity and stuff. Then some corrupt people take slowly over it, as always, and the religion becomes a way to oppress and rob people of their possessions.
Best example of that is the "holy inquisition" of the middle ages...
