What if I started my own religion?

Question

Just forget Christianity exists for a second...

And the basic concept is that there's one God. And he was great and all, he created us, killed almost everyone in massive flood, had a son named Jesus who was pretty great too, and he's coming back someday.

So if I started this religion. Do you think people would call me a crackpot?

Answer 1

I said you not only lack creativity, you r oso a fool trying to down play Christianity and insult God at the same time trying to use such question for your hidden agenda. Unfortunately people here are too smart for you. Sorry try harder next time.

Answer 2

actually i think of they might desire to merely do some thing distinctive, like Christians understand that homosexuals are forbidden via god and while a **** tries to get married in a Christian church it like a **** you to god and his followers, in the event that they have been given married someplace else different than church homes then its ok. this entire gay rights ingredient could be allowed, comparable ingredient with weed, it doesnt kill each and every guy or woman and yet its unlawful, in the event that they arent hurting every physique and that they are forced to marry the choice intercourse or no longer get married in any respect, united statesa. is the land of the unfastened the place you are going to be your self and not something will take place to you, yet what's incorrect with being happy? which suits out returned to weed, it makes you experience good and takes certainty faraway from you and you experience good for a on a similar time as, so why say no to it

Answer 3

I believe that half the people in Yahoo Answers would want to nail you to a tree, the other half would follow blindly.

And none of them would even understand the message that you were spreading, let alone try. But I think many would try to change it to fit their own concept of reality, and still claim that it was the original text.

Answer 4

The one who starts his own religion has a fool for a congregation.

So far, the tenets of your faith are substantially the same as Christianity, just incredibly vague and meaning-free. It almost seems as if you were avoiding something inconvenient. Try being more original.

Answer 5

Yes. But other crackpots would join you because all religions tend to attract those kinds of people. Before long you would have a large following and would probably be rich from all those tax-free donations to your "church".

Answer 6

Well people called L. Ron Hubbard a crackpot so probably, yes (and deservedly so).

Answer 7

They would call it a cult at first.....until the point where you get millions and millions of people to believe as you do then cult becomes religion just as christianity and scientology did.

Answer 8

If you think it answer your all questions about God, life, hereafter, universe, human, the relationship between this religion and all life aspects, and between it and other religions,and your real object in this life...
and it answers are logical (without looking at the deeds of believers in it) you should accept this religion as your religion.

Answer 9

You would not be the first person to do so. But Joseph Smith was more successful at it than you would probably be.

Answer 10

Nope, they 've been followeing false prophets a long time. People are like sheep,that's why we are compared to sheep. they are "dumb" & need ot be prodded, now & again, to go the righ t way .

everybody is looking for 'something' to belive in, that's whythere's so much idolitry & false religioins.

but --before you do
ask yourself on e question::

Am I really willing to lay down my life for a bunch of undeserving people who wont listen & believe me ??
