I like catholicism for the baroque ornateness and adherence to absolute absolution though i think that's a reaction to the predatory and commercial nature of christian mega churches in the US of A

turns out in the year 2016 the church telling you hey make it right before you dip out and you are good as opposed to the puritan hellfire for all things off the page is better

I like Taoism, its central message is "just chill out bro " Every religion has hard-liners that are huge dickbags in some way or another, but I don't think Taoism does and I don't know what a dickbag hardliner Taoist would even look like

I admire Hinduism's ability to convince Americans that it's some super spiritual thing instead of utter nonsense. I also admire Judaism's ability to make money and Islam's ability to get people to do seriously hosed up poo poo. How many other religions are the real life equivalent of James Earl Jones from Conan?

North Korean state worship of the Supreme Leader is very admirable. It gives everyone a sense of purpose and direction. hopefully we can take some lessons from it here in America

Sikhism is pretty cool. Just be a good person and try and make things better for others. Also, literally everyone is equal and all "Gods" are just the one God anyway.

Catholics have the most insane art and real estate collection and continue to run a child abuse ring and encourage disease and oppression out of their private country embedded within one of the most amazing cities out there. And they're all right out in the open, wearing crazy uniforms. They're the closest thing we have to supervillains.

It seems wrong to pick christian, since I'm a catholic, so gonna have to go with Islam. Muslims seem like real go-getters in general, plus their very existence seems to freak out dumb ppl, which is very entertaining.

Deism is my jam. God created the universe, then shook his head and tossed it in the back of the shed so he'd never have to look at it again like the trash garbage that it is.

Flagrant Abuse posted:Deism is my jam. God created the universe, then shook his head and tossed it in the back of the shed so he'd never have to look at it again like the trash garbage that it is. If you think about the reasons why an omnipotent God would create a universe, deism starts to makes a lot of sense Like, if you were planning on micromanaging everything and making sure everything went exactly according to your grand design, what would be the point of actually making the thing, just write down the grand design and the effect is the same. You'd only create a universe full of people with free will and the capacity for suffering if you wanted to see what they'd do without your input. e: also stuff like "why exactly would an omnipotent God care where I put my dinger or what days I eat red meat"

There was a Sikh at my high school and people made fun of him a lot because he had to wear a kids'-turban thing that looked like he had strapped a ball to his forehead His dad's grown-up turban looked friggin' sweet though William Bear posted:Sikhism is the best religion because you have a religious excuse to carry a knife everywhere. ever since I learned this I've wondered how Sikhs get on airplanes

Gobblecoque posted:hell I'd feel safer with a sikh or two onboard. remember that time some fuckheads tried to rob some train in india and this sikh just murdered the poo poo out of them with his knife During the riots in London a few years back I stayed up until 4 in the morning watching some live public access style Sikh channel that was buried in the Sky EPG because it was just two Sikh guys with a camera going around checking if other Sikhs were OK. Highlights included them helping police track down a looter by chasing him in their car after giving a police officer a lift, meeting local Sikh business owners who vowed to gently caress up anyone who tried to steal from them because looting was a lovely thing to do and interviewing a temple elder type guy who had an actual loving trident that he was going to use on anyone that tried to harm the temple because it was a safe haven for whoever wanted to stay there for the night. Two other guys with swords showed up during the course of the interview with similar threats. I think the highlights are still up on YouTube somewhere. The entire thing made me develop a huge amount of respect for Sikhs and their belief system even though I am a staunch atheist. These people actually give a poo poo about humanity as a whole and they set a really good example.

dreezy posted:I am personally a fan of how Satanism has evolved into a secular political movement aimed at highlighting violations of the establishment clause first amendment, e.g. pushing for Baphomet statues in government buildings where the 10 commandments are displayed. Satanism has become a pretty amusing troll religion. I haven't looked into it much but Sikhism and all the Sikhs I've run into are pretty chill.
