My religion - list the ones with the most staying power

Not about which is the most reasonable ( they are all "beyond reason" a  bit  and we would spend all day blogging on the subject of unreasonable propositions in religion  ) Speculate here on what keeps the various religions in suspension.

My religion - Eat drink and be merry

I'm not all that familair with this one . Seems like you get indigestion  and the thrill doesn't last so its place as a religion may not be very significant ( religions have to have staying power ?)

My religion -Stoicism

Philosophers have always put this one in so i guess it should be here . Why is it valid? You tell us

My religion - you name it !

goon then

My religion -War on everything

Not a long term option for many,  though its easy to think yourself there . Its often really about your attitude to yourself ,  and if you can get that fixed,  the world seems a better place to find work in ( rather than reject the past - cf evolutin 's dismissal of the past )
Who wants to be known for their arrogance ( or in "evolutin" case - their optimism postponed ) . Essential to recognise your own limitations and those of the world and the people around  if you are going to live and work ( building process ) here?

My religion - My kitchen rules

Its all about me and that's the summary . Even though my creator made my creativity possible,  I focus on the icing I put on the cake . I'm not very good at educating because I want you to admire my creativity and not think too deeply beyond that . The fact that you too can cook as well as me if you know how to place and keep fat and sugar is not discuused . A bit like backyard blitz or some primitive religion its better if you think I know than you know . Fear of fat and sugar is to my advantage to cultivate in you.

My religion --Backyard Blitz

The other person needs this and would like this . We or the government ( Iam nromally paid to do this as  a "public servant ") will provide what you need and will surprise you with our brilliance . As post christain heretics we know these 2 half truth's  "that you can't be totally objective  about your real needs" but "need to be to be sustainable " but use them to devise our own theology which is a version of God's.  We know what you would like and, like God does, we  find it very hard to help you if you don't listen and let us take charge  . Its easier our way -----believe me

My religion - How others see my religion

CG Jung seems to be saying you have to have one - so I am back to finding out what it look like starting from this list ?

My religion - Science

If I can't see it I don't believe it . I spend my life trying to prove things and I'm pretty busy .... and maybe a tad confused

My religion - Evolvian

Noone should worry because everything is moving on to a better place . Now is better than it was before; Tommorow will be even better . I respect others choices because I believe that everyone will eventually climb onto a higher plane .
I  am always therefore interested in new ideas - ways to make life better .
I do wonder though whether it is all measurable product and material world stuff when my friends  are very rich materially but seem empty in some way .  Infact , the evidence against real quality of life improvement  in post modern West is all around me .   In my weaker moments I wonder why things have not gotten better in my own experience and why,  if I'm honest I and they seem to have grown more cynical and less optimistic with time.  I find I do worry about my children but so doesn't everybody ?. I may envy those who still are optimistic  and wonder if they are completely deluded and why they shut out doubts ; it seems to me they are not using their brains. I try not to think about certain things -esp those that I  don't understand from my worldview .But what i disagree with doesn't woory me because "Religion" and anything i don't agree with/understand /put in a box  for example seems like something we can safely abandon from the past because whats ahead is always progressive and better  . I don't dare think that in a deterministic world, the thoughts of the brain may be irrelevant and dangerous anyway.

My religion - God is ultimately creator and redeemer but man has much freedom

( these posts are highly speculative but attempt to capture the spirit of things ) Judaism, Christianity

My religion -It's God who rules

What happens is going to happen anyway We pray because if itws the will of God we will be on the winning side . We obey the rules and do what the book says .

My religion - God doesn't care

( all speculative ) I am on my own . Everything depends on me and my wits and genes .The world is a harsh place . If I cooperate with others it will be on my terms . I am not married -- for long anyway ??? I enjoy friends but struggle with the reality that it can be very shallow . In my weaker moments I find the world a harsh and lonely place and wonder how others can be optimistic.
