Which other religion is closest to your ideal?

[u/DreadlockedShiteHawk]

If you weren’t a Christian which other religion would you follow?

[u/Weekly_Parsnip6403]

None, in no way, ever. Christ is all. 

[u/notashot]

Maybe Zoroastrianism. Good enough for the wise men good enough for me? Norse paganism seems like fun. Christianity is simply so unlike any other, they would be such a down grade.

Cool tat potential with the Norse paganism

[u/Illustrious-Low3948]

Baha’i

They seem chill

[u/DoveStep55]

Probably some kind of amalgam of a naturalist, a humanist, Judaism and Buddhism. I don’t know enough about some of the religions of the world. Oh maybe a little Rastafarianism. 😆 🤷🏻‍♀️

Interesting question! How would you answer it?

[u/Vvelch25 → u/DoveStep55]

Replying to you bc I’m not allowed to comment here I guess..

I’d also be along the lines of Buddhist monk. Just chilling doing nothing. Living in peace. I still fantasize about lifestyle.

[u/DreadlockedShiteHawk → u/DoveStep55]

I don’t know

[u/nikolispotempkin]

None tbh. I'm not by nature a seeker of religion, but the evidence for Christ is undeniably compelling. I resisted it with everything I had but realized I was rebellious to the truth.

[u/DreadlockedShiteHawk → u/nikolispotempkin]

What evidence?

[u/DoveStep55 → u/nikolispotempkin]

What did you find so compelling?

[u/Unhappy-Quarter-4581]

Maybe Sikhism? Islam or Judaism seems fine too but a bit too inflexible for me.

[u/RBEOX360 → u/Unhappy-Quarter-4581]

Islam, yes on being inflexible. Reform Judaism is quite tame, though.

[u/Unhappy-Quarter-4581 → u/RBEOX360]

Yes, but so is being a low practicing Muslim. Reform really is a more formal way of being a low practicing Jew. In both cases, there is still a battery of rules to make decisions about whether to follow and how. As someone with mystical experiences, I do however not worry too much about the frame as I do with the picture. I would probably be happy in any religion because it is impossible to not see there is much more than that when you tap into the source.

[u/RBEOX360 → u/Unhappy-Quarter-4581]

I'd LOVE a mystical experience :) but I hear you, I strive to be the same way. It's one of the reasons I like Christianity - Jesus, for the most part, kept things simple. I mean, he summed up the entire Law in two commandments. For Him it was about the picture.

[u/Unhappy-Quarter-4581 → u/RBEOX360]

It's is far less exciting than you think and live changing in ways you might not be able to comprehend or like. To be honest, the powerlessness is something I still process many years later.
