I want you to seriously consider this, let's see if we are capable of true tolerance of other people's beliefs. So imagine that your current religion doesn't exist, what would be you 2nd choice and why?

Ok caveman let's say your right, and God is the creator of all. I think because I am a kind and loving person who treats all of "Gods" creatures with respect that he will welcome a soul as beautiful as mine along with all others like it into "heaven" with open arms.

Oh by the way mine would be Christian simply because that is what I was before.
I would also like to thank you all in advance for your honesty and I wish you all the best no matter what religion you are. Brightest blessings!

Suppose that this person called Jesus actually is who he said he is, and without him you are destined to a place called hell. Would you then pretend that he doesn't exist?

How do you define tollerance?
Is tollerance acceptance of the next philosophical system because the one we currently subscribe to has been magically eliminated? Philosophy is love for the truth. We are assuming that each person here is seeking and expounding what he or she perceives is true, real, just and moral. Can I be tollerant of what I consider untrue, unreal, unjust and immoral? Is tollerance for those things considered a virtue?
If you say that Thor is the revealed god and I consider that a false, unfounded statement, I can only politely and respectfully disagree, that's tollerance, but I cannot in the name of tollerance decide that I should join you in some outlandish cult or prayer, or sacrifice! So, for me to embrace some idiotic idea just to be nice and tollerant, I would have to have lobotomy.

Good question. Unfortunately you can't NOT have atheism, but I'll go for it anyway.
Let's see, if I wasn't atheist, I would probably be a Christian, with the stipulation that I would believe that there was no eternal torment for the unsaved, only complete, instant nonexistence. I used to be a Hellfire and Brimstone Christian (for the sake of background).
(I would say Buddhism, but I haven't studied Buddhism enough to, well, really know very much at all about it)

Since I'm a pagan, if it didn't exist, I'd be stuck with the variations of the three major monotheistic religions. I doubt I would find them any more appealing. I'd probably end up with more philosophical outlook, like Taoism.

Currently, I'm undecided between Wicca and atheism...I think Buddhism would be a consideration-I agree with the Tao theory and their idea of reincarnation.

Good question I am agnostic, but for the sake of the challenge I would say Pagan. The odds of mutiple gods as opposed to one god is better.

As a Christian I would choose Buddhism because if Truth (Jesus) doesnt exist and there is no God then all this must be mindless illusion. Time to stick my head in the sand and pretend nothing is real.

That would perfect if religion didn't exist. All they do is confuse you and tells you to believe in this when they have no proof of it that this exist. And There wouldn't be any world war like One and Two. Because All we do is fight because of Religion, like Hitler..Because of religion, Civil rights movement..because of religion..

Wow, difficult question. If I wasn't a Hereditary...um...I probably would have been Christian until I was about fifteen and then converted to Hinduism.

Atheist. If my gods weren't around nothing else would make much sense. Hel it took me 27 years to get it straight THIS time!
