How can you own what you didn't create, unless you created it?

What does money have to do with religion as a guidance? Those who barter guidance for error are of the worst on this earth, religious or not and even in MATTER!
Those who decided to twist the question to match what they believe have show you clear evidence as how they create things. Well just look! :)

Your religion, so your saying you own it, so that means you made it right?

You created yourself too? Hmm interesting.

Velvet is the only one correct so far. We don't own it, because we didn't create it. So if we created it then we can say we own it, so that means who that say they own it, have created something for themselves. Its very logical read it again.

It certainly doesn't own me.
However, my beliefs are a part of everyone, thus they belong to no one.

Salaam Alaykum,
Your feeling of ownership is a big issue with you...have you heard the term intrinsic in value? I learned this term studying money and tangible assets. The paper money you have really has no power..it is our faith in it's ability to buy things. Your mortgage on your home is another piece of paper that you believe makes you the owner..really it's quite silly. Intrinsic means the faith we put in something. Even god. Investors who don't have faith in the dollar will choose another currency
to invest in, Your home can be foreclosed on, the car you own can be totaled in an accident but you still have a title and faith yours or someone else's insurance will give you the monetary value back. Belief in God is also as intrinsic as these except for one vital difference...the end game. Death. Believer's believe that is a normal cycle of things just as non believers do but in the end it doesn't matter to the non believer because that's it. Many believe there is something else after that. I do because the very life I was given is intrinsic in how much value I give it and believe in it so why not after as well ?
WaSalaam
Peace

Do I own it? as in do I live up to it, act according to it, not just mouth it when convenient and act otherwise in other situations?
Then yes.
Otherwise, I got it for $1.95 at Big Lots, but I had to borrow a dollar from my sister. So maybe I co own it, since it was her dollar.
EDIT- Apparently the joke was lost on you - of course you can't buy it - nor can you own it, and you knew that when you asked. Really, get a sense of humor if you plan to stay about R&S long.

Own??? Do I try to live my religion? Yes, but as a sinful human being I do not do it perfectly, thus the need for a Savior. Which would also be part of living my religion.

the answer to ownership of faith and religion involves a conundrum of epic proportions.

Considering that my spirituality is my own, that I did create myself... yes.

If by "own" you mean live, breathe, eat, sleep, die, repeat? Then yes.
