What religion?

Question

Interests you the most? Other than your own.
What religion do you find the most fascinating?

Im not asking what religion would you change to, because I would get answers like "I would never change" "none" blah, blah. blah.

My question is simply, What other religion are you fascinated by?

Answer 1

I'm fascinated by ALL religions, I always have been:
Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Celtic mythology, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, Mithraism, Zoroastrianism...the list goes on and on.

I'm a Christian.

Answer 2

Other than my own Christian religion, I find Judaism the most fascinating. Jesus and all his disciples were Jews. The Jews made incredible insights about God and his plan for human happiness, especially about sexuality. The Jews were the first people to understand that the marriage of one man and one woman is the most perfect intimation of heaven we can experience on earth, and that consequently, any sexuality outside of marriage will destroy this glimpse of God's love.

As a teenager, I was fascinated by Buddhism. The idea that we can meditate and rise to a higher, enlightened understanding that we are all one was quite attractive. In the end, I abandoned that idea because I came to understand that there is great evil in the world, and that evil is not from God.

Answer 3

All religions fascinate me - as cultural artifacts.

It is fascinating to consider religion as a crutch for humanity, especially when considering the diversity and intensity of all the different religions throughout the world and throughout history.

It fascinates me that people could be aware of this diversity, but not see their own religion as simply another artifact - somehow each group has convinced themselves that their religion is the 'true' one - and that is fascinating.

Answer 4

I am fascinated by all religion, I was not brought up religiously at all but I have had friends who recognize something in me that makes them think I am 'ready' and stuff like that. I wouldn't know where to start to tell you the truth however, I do find it extremely fascinating.

Answer 5

Buddhism. I'm interested in most aspects of the faith.

The only real problem I have is how some groups will not support the disabled because they believe it'd interfeer with the lesson we're suppose to learn each life time.

& that's just one negative for a VERY lot of positives.

Answer 6

King James bible, James 1:27, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world". In Galatians 1:8-9, Paul repeated twice, "let him be accursed". Accursed why? For perverting the gospel/good news of Christ and preaching some other gospel, "which is not another". This chapter tells us how Paul was taught by the "revelation of Jesus Christ" and not by man. James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally". Dont seek true religion from man but seek it from God.

Answer 7

All of them.

I am an atheist, as is my fiance. When we combined our book collections we ended up with over 20 Bibles, 2 Vedas, 3 Korans, the Torah, and hundreds of other Holy Books and reference books on any religion you could ever want to know about.

Answer 8

Buddhism because I don't know much about it, but it seems the focus is on making oneself a better person and the religion and followers of it seem to truly be peaceful.

Answer 9

The only religion that has ever fascinated me is Buddism. That is because in this religion there is no mention of god or angels or heaven. Zen Buddism being the most interesting of the Buddism field. By the way, I'm an atheist.

Answer 10

Shamanism
I find the depictions of Shaman in anime, video games, and fantasy to be really fascinating, particularly those who make use of powerful animal spirits.
