What will I be called if I just want to join all religions...I mean to cover my bases and all?

Question

There are sooooooo many...just logic alone says that any single one started in some obscure little corner of the planet is the correct one.

Answer 1

Unitarian but its a cult so i dont recommend it...JESUS is the way..

Answer 2

some of them are cults and some of them are ok but there has to be one good one you cited logic, well the fundamental issues in all religions differ dramatically thus they all can't be true, I think yo uunderstand this, this is also the reason you cant be of ALL RELIGIONS AT ONCE. But I think you understand that too, so we have covered that not all religions are true, so lets say one is, I think your a smart person so my advice to you is,
STUDY
study the key religions and the main points of each of them
check out some evidence
and make an informed decision
thats the best any of us can do,
if you want you can email me and we can discuss this further, one of my favorite topics ;)

check out some of these books they might help you on the christianity side of the argument (remember you should study all the arguments)

I don't have enough faith to be an aithist
by Frank Turek (and someone else)

The Case for Christ
by Lee Strobel

and there are many others just look up
" apologetics " and find chrisitan apologists
they have alot to say
there are videos on
www.christianfilms.com that are by a scientist lol it helps

hope it helps,

Answer 3

To say that joining all religions (if it were possible) would "cover your bases" seems to imply that you think the critically important thing (whatever the thing is, you haven't named... immortality? happiness? something else?) is based on *membership*. I would propose that that is a questionable assumption, even though some religions have branches that believe God grants immortality and/or favor based on membership.

I would suggest that instead of trying to "cover all your bases," you consider what you *already* believe and what you hope to accomplish or gain by selecting one or more religions to follow. The wording of your question seems to me to suggest that you currently believe, at least vaguely, that there might be some type of deity, and that there might be some sort of favor (happiness, heaven, whatever) that you could gain with that deity by joining the "correct" religion. I would propose that you examine this belief, where it might have come from, and whether you want to stick with it or not. (If you do want to stick with it, I suggest you do some real thinking and research and try to find out which religion(s) seem "correct" or most nearly correct to you, and go with that.)

There are three books that I would recommend for you. The second one can be very challenging reading, but is excellent material if you can manage it. If it is just too much, don't get bogged down... just go with the first and third books if that works better for you.

The first book (not so hard to read) is actually by a psychologist but will help you examine your current values, where they come from, and whether you want to keep them or change them. The book is Scripts People Live by Claude Steiner. You might find that part of what you think about God has to do with your parents in ways you would never have predicted. (I used to worry a lot about pleasing God because my mother was hard to please. Much of my concept of God was based on my mother's personality traits and issues. Once I realized this, I began to move toward a concept of God independent of my mother's personality.)

The second book (hard reading but very good) is The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard. This book is from a Christian perspective. I'm sure there is great reading from other religions too, but I'm just not familiar enough to give you titles.

In addition to identifying where you are and where you want to go (I mean religious/spiritual goals, not "are you going to heaven"), a book that can help you move forward regardless of what religion you choose would be The Wisdom of the Enneagram by Russ Hudson and Don Richard Riso. In this book it can be very tempting to jump around and just read pieces here and there, but I recommend reading it cover to cover. You will get the most out of it that way.

Answer 4

You can believe in all religions if you like, but they directly oppose each other in that they all say they are equally true. If you want to know the truth, the truth will see you free. Jesus said clearly that He is the truth and nobody comes to the Father except by Him.

Either He is lieing...He knows it isn't true

He is a lunatic...He doesn't know the truth

He is the Lord...He is the actual way to God the Father

These are you only options

Answer 5

You will be called an unbeliever by the God who made you. There is only one way to be saved and that is through the blood of Jesus for the remission of your sins. You can't believe in him and join yourself to Satan. You only have two choices....choose life,,,,,by believing in Jesus....or choose death by believing in religion...join all you want,,they want get you to Heaven...joining a church never saved anyone.

Even if your Mama went to church every time the doors were opened and joined at the age of two....unless she has been converted, she is not saved. If Mother Teresa never accepted Jesus as her Savior,,she didn't make it either.

Answer 6

Logic might help you to realize it isn't a matter of a "correct" religion as in organized religion.

I am reminded of the story of the man who fell off a bridge, and on the way down he shouts, "God is great, and the devil isn't such a bad fellow either!"

.

Answer 7

Universalist

Answer 8

Desperate

Answer 9

Why don't you just join Jesus and forget about religion, religion has never saved anyone, religion didn't hang on a cross for six hours because of love for mankind. i could go on but I think you get my point.

Answer 10

Confused.

Perhaps a Universalist Unitarian.

Answer 11

Desperate.
