You need to join the new age movement.There are so many good groups. The yahoo group psychicliving is good. Go to www.sylvia.org or read anything by sylvia browne. There is also Dr. Michael Newton. He wrote journey of souls and destiny of souls. I found them to be VERY clear, concise and informative. Please try to look some of this up. I hope it helps!

Wicca would meet most of those. The Wiccan Rede is "An it harm none, do as ye will." We respect other religious paths, we have both High Priests and High Priestesses, sex before marriage isn't a sin (nor is homosexuality) - all acts of love and pleasure are rituals of the Goddess... provided that they do not harm anyone involved, emotionally or physically.
We do not have a concept of "original sin" or "eternal damnation". Our goal is to honor the God and Goddess and to walk in balance with the world that They have created.
If you want to research Wicca, try http://www.wicca.com or http://www.witchvox.com .

Yeah, it's called the You religion. Its basic beliefs are that you are the center of the universe, you're perfect, and you're pretty much free to do whatever you want. Of course, it pretty much goes against the very definition of religion, since faith isn't required, and there is no God or anything. But hey, as long as you're happy, right?

Probably; but if you follow it, you'll end up in Hell.
Pro 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.

Yes, it's called humanism. It might make for a very pleasurable life on earth. After all, there is pleasure in sin for a season. But eternity is going to be hell.

Secular Humanism, perchance? I think there are some Universalist variant religions that may come close as well.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster... the only problem being that you'll have to forget about gravity and remember intelligent falling
