I want to form a new religion based on Man believing in himself and Saving our Mother Earth, the only problem-

Question

is there are too many religions that believe in an afterlife and preach that this world is doomed. They preach faith in God's and prophets and kill each other trying to make their religion the order of the day. The rule in mass and use threats of eternal hell-fire-what a happy world they survive in creating "Hell on Earth". One can not see their Gods but these same lunatics will deny that the most beautiful sight that they have ever beheld is a picture of OUR MOTHER from a distance. Do they also fail to realize that she glows like a star from further away? It is my intention not to worship prejudiced beliefs as while we are alive "WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THIS TIME". and the only real salvation is for the world of intelligence to aknowledge that WE are the caretakers of LIFE-that we hold each others lives in OUR hands. I declare today that I am one man of many and will stiive in my life to leave THIS World a Better Place for my having been here. I hope to share this w/u!

Answer 1

sounds like a good religion to me.

Answer 2

You can join my new Religion, Nahimanism. The only catch is you can no longer want for fine Redwood floors in your new $10 million dollar home, you can not want to go to the gap for clothes, I mean Crap for clothes, You will stop digging gravel pits for highways and recycle tires to use for roads, You will get 1 strike for everytime you throw a Walmart bag out the car window, You cannot let your trash fly out the back of your pickup trucks, You must plant gardens and trees and only use non-chemical fertilizer> yes thats horse poop,You will have to have a gas card to use just enough gas as needed, NO MORE LANDFILLS, NO MORE BARGES OF GARBAGE DUMPED IN THE OCEAN AND NO MORE TOXIC WASTE BURIED IN THE DESERT, No more plastic diapers, If you make more than $100,000 a year you pay the tax and not the other people Ouch huh, No more eating meat only vegetarians and then you won't need prescription drugs, all prison inmates will be on a chain gang and no more luxuries, You can only have a plasma T.V. if it doe's not fill one wall of the room, Ah yes-and only 1 car per person , no drivers license til you are 18 , and you must never hit your wife or husband again. This is just a sample of my rules but I will send an Eagle down to fly above you and if he touches your head you will know that you have been blessed. When you see the great white buffalo you will know that you have started your journey to mend what man has destroyed and be on your way to Nahimanism. I also need to mention I have ESP so I will know if you are cussing me.

Answer 3

There are so many good souls like you that are hindered by organized religion or what have you. A wise man once told me to never let religion get in the way with your relationship with God. We were born with a sense of right and wrong. And with the faith of a child(the most powerful thing in this world). But as we grew older we were influenced by the world and our definition of good got completley misconstrewed.

Theres so much crap in this world its hard what to believe or trust. But we just got to think back on uor most pure state and the answers will come. The purpose of life is to acknowledge the gift of life.

Answer 4

wait just one moment. You want to START ANOTHER RELIGION?!?!?! Dont' we already have enough of those gosh darn things already. You just need to jump on the bandwagon cuz you are headed straight for the loony bin. If you haven't noticed there are a lot of people who already practice the religion of what ever the heck you talking about. You know what they call themselves... TREE HUGERS AND HIPPYS. People have there own beleifs dude and you just crossed the line tellin people to shut the hell up with all their preaching and belief in an afterlife. I guess i was wrong when i said christians were the craziest.

Answer 5

Our cultural values have been influenced by indigenous belief in the harmony of all life on Mother Earth has resulted in a diminution of understanding of ourselves.
What you're talking about already exists. It's Native American Spirituality.

Answer 6

i've got not got a faith, and because i'm going to be lifeless in approximately 40-50 years the way forward for this depressing ball of dirt infested with psychotic apes would not particularly concern me. yet, if history is any indication, you adult adult males are completely screwed. people will erradicate themselves long previously the planet gets burnt to a crisp while the sunlight explodes 5 billion years from now.

Answer 7

I can understand wanting to entice suckers to give you money but you have to put a spin how things will be better later (when you are dead) in order to really pull in the weak minded ones. All the successful religions do this.

Answer 8

You have a very strong point of view for such a delicut subject. I believe in God! I believe in Heaven and Hell. I do not think that Earth is Hell. I am not sure what I should say to your point.

Answer 9

So start one. Many people start new religions each day. So there's nothing stopping you, even if you are the only one in the belief, at least you're in it.

Answer 10

Has any TRUTH been revealed to you that humankind has not already received? Religion has to be established on TRUTH.

- If not, your "religion" lacks a true foundation.
- If so, who revealed it to you?

If you are going to repackage existing beliefs, you are not forming a NEW religion.

Answer 11

OK...count me as your first member. So how much do I have to tithe to stay in the graces of this church? The check is in the mail. Unfortunately, 'our' new church will not succeed, for it makes no silly promises of "Life everlasting." We have got to get that wording in there for success in the collection plate.
