What are the 5 best reasons for following your belief system?

Question

Please list 5 or less simple points that are great about your belief system.

This is open to all.

Please tell me what your system is called. The reasons alone aren't so helpful. Sorry my bad.

Answer 1

I like mine because:
-It demands of me that I stand proud on equal ground as my Gods, not grovel in front of them
-It has a defined system of virtues - and it's your own responsibility whether you want to respect them or not. No "obey these or burn in hell".
-The Gods and Goddesses are real, they take interest in our lives, they manifest themselves regularly and they answer the prayers.
-it requires a lot or personal effort, to engage in research and critical thinking instead of blindly following a balding old man in a stuffy building
-it's nature oriented, it revels in changes of seasons, respects life, plants, animals and humans alike

and the most important one:
-it felt like coming home for me.

Answer 2

Atheism:

1. It validates this life.
2. Not believing in anything past this gives me more reason to live as much as I can now.
3. It makes logical sense.
4. Its simple enough for anyone to get their mind around - there's nothing to remember because the only criteria is no belief in a god.
5. Its the easiest belief system to bring your own opinions and ideals into.

Answer 3

"Five blessings, householders, accrue to the righteous man through his practice of virtue:

1) Great increase of wealth through his diligence;

2) a favorable reputation;

3) a confident deportment, without timidity, in every society, be it that of nobles, brahmans, householders, or ascetics;

Answer 5

Norse Folktru Reconstructionist Heathen / Asatru.

1. It is my ethnocultural heritage and birthright, and as such, it just flat sings within my spirit and feels like "Home."
2. It places my destiny and Luck into my own hands, and encourages me to live up to the example of my mighty ancestors . . . but doesn't threaten me with "Hell" or "eternal torment" if I screw up. Just consequences in THIS life. :-)
3. It joins me to a community of strong, wonderful heathens . . . and establishes me within a "web of right relationships" with them, our godh/esses, and Nature.
4. It builds depth and complexity in my thinking through study and powerful spiritual and cultural metaphors and a rich history and mythos.
5. It views my godhs as literal Elder Kin, the Primal Ancestors, deeply connected to all aspects of my life, not some distant deity to be "appeased" or "placated" . . . as I like to say, our godhs are not perfect, or even immortal, but they are OUR godhs, and we . . . are good enough for them. No redemption needed, desired, or required.
