If You Were Religious, What Religion Would it Be?
March 30, 2013 at 3:49 pm
If I were religious, I would probably be either a Buddhist or a Satanist. While seeming extremely different at first glance, Buddhism and Satanism both share an encouragement of thinking, rather than an aversion to it. I think any religion I would join would have to have that feature. I would probably lean more towards Satanism because I think that it is important to indulge your desires, to some extent. Not that you cannot indulge your desires under Buddhism, but one of the main goals of Buddhism is the cessation of desire, which I actually do not philosophically agree with.
What about you?

Certainly Buddhism.
Maybe I'd look into Scientology. At the end of the day, we all need a good laugh, right?

Paganism, most likely. Not that new age nonsense, but something more akin to animism.

I always had more interest in other supernatural things like wizards, witches and dragons growing up. Wicca perhaps? Certainly it would be some pagan deal.

Wicca although I'd still regard the deities as archetypes.
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?

Some sort of animism probably. Something nature-based

I would try to learn magic since most religions teach it exists.
