Hello all. Peace and blessings.

I am writing about a new religion which I am very excited about. It's made up of ancient ideas put together in a visionary modern way, and it's aim is to incite people to take action to save the world and help each other as a spiritual duty. The basic principles are simple:

1.) God is the force that animates the universe and gives life to all things, holding the cosmos together and connecting EVERY LIVING BEING TO ALL OTHERS.

2.) Because God is and is IN everything, everything is sacred. Earth, like all other places, is a temple, a house in which God lives. That makes it holy and imporant for us to save before it's too late- - aside from the fact that if it dies, we die.

3.) Because God is and is in EVERYONE, every single human being has the potential to become a messiah. This makes all humans equal, as all life is. This gives each and every one of us the power to make change. No one person can rescue the future of this planet. But if we all stand together, there's nothing we can't do.

The last imporant thing to realize is that THIS IS NOT A CONVERTING FAITH. While I feel it is important to share my insights about God, I don't ask that anyone believe them. I do not believe my way is the "one true way," either. I just think it could be A TRUE WAY.

The only part of my message that all people on this world need to walk away with is this:
The world must live. It's in our power to save it. With great power (as Spidey says, lol) comes great responsibility.

But it's not a burden that anyone carries alone.

No, sorry Christianity does have the most followers, Mac.

You really go for majority= superiority in everything don't you. Did you know that there are more polygamous practicinors than monogamous practicioners in the world? I guess you think polygamy is the way to go. People have been sentenced to death, only to be proven later that they were innocent.

Considering there is no such thing as a superior religion (they're all pretty much the same bull, just repackaged in various ways), you can't really base religious superiority on anything. Age, maybe. If a religion has withstood the test of time and still has followers, it can probably be said to be a fairly superior religion. Take zoroastrianism. It's been around since before the Egyptians had their sun-gods. And it still has followers. Amazing, that.


The more you know, the less you don't know.

Yes I do. Who's got more followers? You can't base religious superiority on whether its right or not (cause we dont know), so we'll have to go with membership.
In that case islam is way more right than yours. And based on your previous posts I'd say you strongly disagree with that.


Indecision may or may not be my problem

This sounds like Universism with a healthy dose of lunatic fringe.

As to the original poster, I'd like to ask you: exactly why do you feel our planet is dying?

Hey, just because your religion stuck around doesn't mean it isn't equally as crackpot. Nature/godess worship has been around since before your holy text said the world began. You have no right to religious superiority.

I'm not following something that you don't believe without a doubt in your heart.


Just because nobody understands you, that doesn't mean you're artistic.
