I want to join a religion. I've been considering scientology, catholicism, or buddhism. i know scientology permits people to practice other religions simultaneously, so maybe i could join all three. which should i join? what religion are you guys? im also open to any cults if theyre within my area.

>not following the Western Esoteric path

Catholicism for sure. Scientology shares have been pretty weak this decade, and Buddhism can't even turn a profit.

Make your own. It is most free and really enlightening. I speak from experience. :D

i tried. apparently no one wants to join an apocalyptic flat-earth religion.

Y-you're joking right?

Edit: Maybe try taoism?

Honestly, religion is something deeply spiritual that YOU should decide on your own, and not take any advice from others. If a religion doesnt attract your attention on its own, then its not the right religion for you. If you dont find any religion, then (like Kretoma said) you should probably create your own. With your own gods or creatures. I know some people who are not officially religious , but believe in certain superficial beings/ghosts they encountered during their lifetime. They are not interested in converting other people to their belives, because thats not the point of religion. The point of religion is to complete your life on a spiritual/mental level, similar to a hobby.

You should join the church of the whoosing noise this thread made when the jokes flew past Cata's head.

he also gave an inaccurate analysis of religion in his post

If a religion doesnt attract your attention on its own, then its not the right religion for you.

That's why I listed three religions that do have my attention.

I know this, but I was hoping to hear some arguments for why a certain religion is best. Also, I want to join a religion mostly for the sense of community and also for the aesthetic. I already have my own spiritual connection to God, regardless of religion.

I'm just your normal agnostic, desu. I believe it is likely that there is an entity that we cannot begin to understand by using science, and that (maybe) souls exist. I'm not a very believer in the supernatural, but I believe that some events are actually supernatural and cannot be explained by science alone. Are there ghosts? idunfukinno. Is there a god? idunfukinno, yes?

You only need three words to tell us you're an idiot, mate.

Zoroastrianism is really cleverly designed, maybe look into that.

But there aren't that many Zoroastrians where I live, so I wouldn't get that sense of community and belonging I desire. I could join it, but I'd have to join another one with more followers and structure in my area.

@knyte
Who me?

Just avoid Islam it is the worst by far.
Check as many options as possible and be critique
After that you will be ready to make the best possible choice for you.

You can always get in the line and worship me :P

Get involved in Identity Evropa or another right wing vanguard party. God has been dead in the West for centuries; the man rediscovers meaning in the fight for his physical survival against savages.

nah i prefer to meme

@Wulfhere, I could, but I'm not white by their standards so it probably wouldn't make sense.
