Does anyone else wish they could join other religions?

Question

I'm just wondering if this is unusual. I come from a Mormon background and know that my religion is true. That said, my Church teaches there is truth in all religions, so as a hobby I study other religions. I think they all have really great things in them and could imagine a really fulfilling life as an Orthodox Jew, a Charismatic Christian (I like the way they emphasize faith) or a Scientologist (if I could afford it, but I like the way they have a lot of practical ideas for living a better life, I of course don't buy the stuff about the aliens). I've studied those religions and think they're very worthwhile. All those religions seem to have really good positive points to them. If I could live more than once, I'd like to experience other religions as a member of them. Does anyone else wish they could experience other religions more?

Answer 1

I am sorry but one doesn't have to be in a religion
to experience what one one wants to,because except for details of practical rituals one can know almost every thing worth while by studying it,like you are doing.By physically adopting a religion,there wouldn't be much to learn except rituals and peripherals,which in any case don't mean much in terms of core ideas of any religion.Still,I appreciate your broad outlook and vision to see similarity about the basic premise of all religions.

Answer 2

I'm afraid that if you "know" your religion is true, but you've never actually experienced any other religion, then your knowledge is without basis. This is a lot like people who have never left the USA claiming that America is the best country in the world. How would they possibly know?

You can join other religions. It's called conversion, and almost all religions allow for it. One of the benefits of living in a country with religious freedom is that you don't have to wait until your next life (assuming you get one) to try other faiths out.

Answer 3

Religions are believe and acceptance without thinking ,there's no sign of scientific and mostly are illusion made and practice under circumstances of nature or persons forcement .In case of teaching people to how civilize and communicate it's call "Idea". Religions are primary explanation of creation or evolution (Basic information about past) plus some man made stories .

Answer 4

Just because you are born one religion doesn't mean you can't change religions. I was born catholic and i chose to become pagan. There is nothing stopping you from trying other religions.

Answer 5

No I would never want to be part of any organised religion

Answer 6

I BELIEVE IN ISLAM AS A BEST RELIGION AT THE MOMENT

Answer 7
