i claim i'm agnostic, because it seems to be the least hypocritical religion..but there are some things i dont necessarily agree with. my belief is basically that "we wont ever know the truth, so why bother trying to follow rules by some ruler known as God that no one knows even exists? just live life and have fun." i dont necessarily believe in just science, i think there is some kind of 4D thing we cant comprehend....so is there a title for that?

Um... just because we can't comprehend something doesn't mean a magical superpower is needed to explain it.

At one time humans didn't understand electricity, that didn't mean that lightning was actually Zeus's trident.

You're right in that we won't ever know the truth. But since there is absolutely no reason for God to exist (other than to be used as a tool by politicians and church leaders to persecute others, of course) a logical person would assume he doesn't until it is proved otherwise.

Atheism is the least hypocritical religion.

You shouldnt join anything, just because it doesn't contradictYou actually hav eto believe in it wholehearted also.
There are religions that contradict, but usually for a reason, and learning the reason is a step closer to wisdom.
For example, the bible has contraditions-b.c some things are said in the Old Test, and then contradicted in the New..That's because the New is the one they follow and the old was written over when Jesus came. Most religions have errored contradictions also, because man is flawed and they are only trying to do their best for what God inspired of them. We cannot expect purity in all things.

I myself, am a spiritual person, I accept that there's a God but I do not accept any rules or Dogma, so I study and read religious texts of all kinds, take part in different faith traditions and I believe what I feel is true from each one based on my own hearts intuition. I feel a freedom this way, but that doesn't mean I don't follow a strict set of morals I just choose which I believe to be true-I don't drink alcohal, or eat meat like some Asian religions believe b.c I believe alcohol is a drug, and animals have souls (Something the Christians don't get into). But I believe That Christ lived and healed people, passing down a knowledge about God and and some philosophies I will follow such as "Do onto others..."
Taoism is very influential on me, as a religion and a philosophy it teaches how to deal with life, and to each his/her own path. It's a beautiful way of thinking and that's what it seems to promote-Thought.


It is important for me though, that even though I do not follow one religion that I do follow morals and ethics, whether I learn them from religions or from philosophies.
It is important to understand where we stand in life, so that we aren't purswayed to do something we wont really like.
For example, if you don't know what rules you follow, them someone can basically make you believe anything is good and to try anything..b.c you would not have any reason not too-So whether it's based on a religion (You understood an dbelieved their reasoning for the rule), or a philosophy (som erule made sense logically in arguement), or science (science proves a rule is good , b.c partaking in such would be least benificial to your health, and it's proven).
You establish your rules, and you stick to them-Not because some religion tells you to, but because you truly believe in it.

a faith of affection whose adherants act hatefully is hypocritical. Christianity. a faith of peace whose adherants attack human beings is hypocritical. Islam. Judaism is probable the least hypocritical. the situation for many gentiles is they many times don't comprehend it. it is not a paradox that Jews are the falsest human beings at the same time as on the comparable time being the least hypocritical. Jews will lie, yet they by no potential lie to themselves with their lies. they do no longer prefer the justifications that, say, Christians use to make themselves sense "justified" in mendacity. Lies are no longer hypocritical with Jews because of the fact they inwardly settle for their own rapacity as a evaluate their necessary nature, and lies are an effective gadget of their pursuit of White human beings's money or the Arabs' real property. Jews do no longer blush with shame whilst they circulate approximately attempting to lie to anyone else: of direction they try this. they're at conflict with all different peoples, and that they constantly have been. as long as they stay Jewish, they constantly would be. And, in a conflict, you by no potential tell the enemy the actuality approximately your tactical or strategic plans, nor do you tell the enemy approximately your genuinely power or readiness for conflict. as a replace, you lie to and confuse and divide, and that's basically approximately constantly what Jews do to gentiles. it is not hypocrisy! no longer slightly.

Well, with your reference to '4D things' that could mean the appreciation of the transcendent or that you have a 'spiritual' aspect to your viewpoint. They may as well be considered the same thing. And I disagree that agnosticism is a religion, it's more like a choice you make that God can't be proved or disproved.
I would have to say that Buddhism is probably the least hypocritical. Live and let live, you can't really go wrong.

xxchick: I am a Christian and I can assure that there is NO "least hypocritical religion" ... all religion is man-made therefore, is "hypocritical". Yes; you are correct in assuming that there is some kind of "4 D thing" which we cannot comprehend (history has many miraculous events within it to prove the case). The title for it is plainly, "Christianity" (not religion) ... that is a spiritual relationship with God, the Father, through Jesus Christ. This is NOT about "performance" religion nor is it about ritualism. It is about the very thing, in both, essence and substance which Jesus Christ was murdered for, by the religious people of His time, who attacked others (non-believers & believers alike) for not being like they [ the pop-religious culture] were. It's real and it works and you will be constantly criticised by both, religious folk and those who do not know what you have proven to be real and true.

There are certain phenomena in this Creation which forces us to think that there is some More intelligent person than us all. There is DNA which scientists say they have dis-ciphered but who wrote it. Look at the flowers and leaves with so beautiful shapes. Who has painted this beautiful universe. U may say it is just the nature but it can be argued if anything happens in the nature without somebody directing it. So it becomes confusing. This brings us to accept some kind of a Crater is there and organized religion take advantage of this confusion in us and try to give us a definite answer to it and in the process exploit us.

I think all religions are hypocritical. The reason there are so many religions to begin with is because of the vast amount of interpretations..... and it's possible that every generation varies that just a bit- until it sems that ideas are conflicting.
Catholicism says that divorce is wrong- but with a legal annulment, and enough of a "fee"- you can marry in a Catholic church again after divorce- that'sjust one example.... I'm sure there are many pertaining to other religions......

I don't think there is any specific religion that can claim to be hypocrite-free, because it is human nature to be inconsistant, hypocritical, defensive, and arrogant. Therefore, you yourself can strive to not be hypocritical, but you can't join a religion on the basis of it not being so.
Anyway, I hope you find what you're looking for : )

I stand behind the Abrahaimic religions. Nothing else...
All I have to say is that these religions are not hypocritical, but a lot of their followers are.
