If you weren't an Atheist/Theist

[Jericho]

I think it'd be too late for me to believe in him then
If I didn't die in the impact I'd surely die of a heart attack.

Well as long as you would believe, whether you lived or not.

Now...let me go find a rock. Good thing I played baseball.

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Lies, you need to believe in Rock.  He is phsyical.  You can touch Rock, you can taste Rock, and toy can see Rock.  Plus, I own the only copy of the Rock's Rite.  The Rite states that Rock is the one and only god.  And Rock never lies.  Join the Cult of Rock.

The name "Rock" is one of the biblical god's aliases.

Does pastafarianism count? If not, I'll probably go Buddhist and learn some Kung Fu.

This is pretty much my answer. If Pastafianism counts, I'd totally do that. If not, I'd probably be a cafeteria Buddhist that takes all that live-and-let-live stuff seriously, but still swats mosquitoes and eats burgers.

[Brometheus]

Probably some form of open deist, which would be frustrating for all the obvious reasons?

[ignoramus]

I'd join any religion/cult that could offer me an afterlife beyong the fucking sales brochure....

[jesus_wept]

I'd be a follower of Dionysus, mainly for the wine and orgies.

I don't know what "spiritual" means, as no one has ever defined it in such a way that makes any sense to me. It seems to be randomly attributing additional qualities to things without justification.

'Spiritual' seems to be a catch all term to describe intangible qualities - eg; spirit of the river / mountain / forest / wolf / gazelle.
In this context you'd be talking about the objects characteristics in an overall sense.
However when used by xtians however the term is invariably interchangeable with 'emotional'.

To the OP I'd probably mix Hindu and Greek mythologies, Hinduism is attractive to me until I hit the prohibition on beef, then all bets are off.

[ignoramus]

Yeah, but the Greek part will make up for it by allowing you to get your beef  "fix" by the bloke behind you!

That wasn't a requirement of the ancient Greek religion.  

In general, the ancient Greek religion was more tolerant than the monotheistic religions.  It allowed for people to do things quite differently from each other, in ways that monotheism typically does not.  For example, one person could focus on worshipping one god, and another could focus on worshipping another, and there was no problem with that.  One could not possibly devote a lot of time to each and every god, and so it was not expected of anyone to do so.  Thus you could be doing your worshipping quite differently from your next door neighbor, and that was fine.  What was not fine was denying the existence of the gods; that part is the same as with monotheism.  So it was not a good thing, but it was better than Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.  Of course, that is like saying something is better than having your toenails ripped out with flaming hot pincers.

For the atheists, if you could choose a spiritual way of life (you can still be atheist depending on your answer), what would it be?

If I wanted to be a Theist then I'd be either Christian or Muhammadan. There is loads of money to be made in both of those religions. I've often said to myself that I could live an easy life simply by conning people. I mean, people really do lap up all this "former Atheist" shenanigans, right?


I become a Muhammadan, say, and I then do lots of interviews, maybe sell a book or two and get people to donate so I can go to lots of exotic places to "educate" people about new found religion. Oops, did I say Dawah (proselytizing) trips? Sorry, I meant I would make plenty of videos showing people how I spend their (presumably) hard earned money in lots of expensive places and on lots of fancy clothes.
