If you found something that felt more "right" then your religion, would you convert? Why or why not?
Also, if you would not convert, are you okay with others practicing other religions than your own?

I would like to think I am. I was Catholic and now I am Kemetic Orthodoxy. I found something that worked for me. I don't mind other religions at all. I believe that my religion just doesn't work for everyone. To each, their own.

I don't really have a 'religion', it's more of a way of life or a personal philosophy.
And as such it's a fluid thing. It develops as I travel through life. As I change, so does my belief, so yes. If I found something that felt more 'right', why not? As it's said:
"While alive, the body is soft and pliant
When dead, it is hard and rigid
All living things, grass and trees,
While alive, are soft and supple
When dead, become dry and brittle"
Tao Te Ching
Same goes for religions as grass.

convert? maybe change my attitude but not convert.life force is not a religion so i cant convert from something that doesn't exist as a thing.
i don't care!! what others believe ...but if there religion sais kill the infidel...i strongly disagree with that. religions should be 2007 not 570 AD.god supposedly told the Jews to slaughter the Canaanites [ ethnic cleansing ]and steal there land, i don't agree with that ether.

I do and i dont.
some religions i really want tp learn about and experience like Paganism and Christianity and Buddhism. But others i struggle with simply because so many things seem flawed and unnecassary with them.
So i am open minded, but only to a select few lol. if thats possible?

I prefer "spiritual explorer" :)
I am where I am now because I found something that felt more right than my prior religion. There is always the possibility I may move on from there.
Whatever floats other's boats is fine by me, as long as they don't seek to sink mine...

I did convert. I had to follow the evidence and follow my conscience.

I'm an atheist but if I thought there was some sound evidence that a certain religion may be true then I'd look into it.

Absolutely, and yes on both accounts. Freedom to worship whomever or whatever you feel in your heart is a gift. I find it so incredibly narrow minded of people so intolerent of others beliefs...you worship with your heart...not out of a book or by being told your faith from a pulpit in my view.

more right ? i guess,but i think the chance is .000000000001%.i'm always trying to improve (gain more knowledge of )my present beliefs/ its okay for others to practice their religion as long as it doesn't involve me or infringe on my right to practice mine.and vice versa

Hmmmmmm. I don't think the religious can be open minded.
