What are the reasons you don't believe this theory?

I explained already: All religions have supposed 'benefits', and I've explained that even mine has.

Quote:You only cited punishment for not believing... and a faith which promises benefits will trump that every time.

Actually, I've removed that from my theory. Just read my posts.

Quote:Aside from some gross misrepresentations of what religion is about, your new religion is without substance.

First off, "religion" is not "religions". I have thought about things that are common in religions, not necessarily every person to fit.
Second off, my topic was not "religion", but a theory/beliefs in general.

For instance, even atheism (or, many atheists) can fit in this description:
1. Atheism is fashion in many places. That's why it's rather believed.
2. There are many atheists already, and this popularity matters.
3. It accords to modern science, no matter how much science would change.
4. Superiority (or, the teaching that the adepts are special) is also taught and believed. I've even heard an atheist saying proudly that men are superior to apes!
5. Atheism allows you to do anything you want, and believe anything you want (except theism, obviously)
6. It has publicity, it has people talking about it and people debating it.
7. Atheists strongly believe their theory.
8. A benefit that's shouted: "freedom!"
9. Atheist have their idols. I've even seen some kind of debate on the internet, where people tried to prove God's existence by finding out what Einstein really believed (a kind of, if Einstein said "God exists", it means that God exists. Otherwise, if Einstein said "God does not exist!" it means that God does not exist - in this case, Einstein is an idol).
10. Atheism existed even in antiquity and is supported by the modern science-fiction fantasies (in most, if not all SF movies, etc. atheism is implicit)
11. Atheism has the theory of evolution as an "evidence", though the theory of evolution has nothing to do with God's existence.

Perhaps point 11 was not very well made, anyway.

Quote:That's why it fails.
Don't worry, I'm not trying to create a new religion with these 12 gods.
Anyway, the point of my topic was why it fails. I was not interested in convincing anybody of this theory.

Anyway, I think I have to thank you for replying. I suppose you're the last one that was interested in replying to this thread (for some reason, I don't expect anyone else to continue to post here).
