I have the ideology, but it's all floaty and stuff...

[TheCheshireCat]

Yo,

I invented my own religion, but can't force myself to write it down...all the ideas are there but I don't know how to get them out. So I thought maybe if people ask me about it, I can answer the questions and eventually form some kind of reliable framework...go ahead, start asking.

And don't worry, it's not a spin-off religion or a justification for something ridiculous like....drugs. Not that I don't like drugs.

[reallystupidstuff]

according to you... how did we get here and what is our purpose?

[I_Like_Traffic_Lights]

What's the purpose? You know....THE purpose?

[---Beany---]

Who is Jesus, Buddha, Mohammid etc in relation to your beliefs?

Hmm...different questions to what I expected...

How did we get here: I haven't really thought about this one much, because I don't really see it as being all that important. However, the answer would be that our essence has always been here, and always will. The universe just formed around it. This will start to make more sense as the thread goes on.

Purpose: Purpose is another thing that ties in with a lot of the other ideas. But I'll give a brief summary. Our purpose in this universe is to gain both understanding and power. Understanding of the universe we have created (I'll get back to that) and power over it. To understand the universe you have to experience it, learn about it, and so forth. In turn, the more you know about the universe, the easier it is for you to control it and have power over it.

As for Jesus, Buddha, and other religious figureheads, why should I need to explain their existence? If I had to though i'd say...they were more in tune with the universe than anyone else...

More questions!!

I also have a religion (not that I pratice it very well) but I plan on writing it down eventually.

One important thing to think about is what would you worship?

That's so important it crazy!

[SEN D-F]

Is there a God? If so what is his origin, what are his feeligns towards us, did he creat us, does he want us to do anything specific, will he punish us for things, what is his mentality, is he above human nature, has he ever shown himself to us, will he ever show himself to us, does he want us to worship him, does he care is we so much as believe in him?

What is evil? Is it simply a human perception of certain occurances, is it a force in the universe, is it forced upon us by a being [like Satan], do evil actions lead to anything, is there anything that specificly defines evil, will we be punished for acting evil, will we suffer in our lives for acting evil?

Are there any set moral values?

Are there any rules?

What comes after death?

Is what we get in death effected by our actions in life?

Is what we get in death effected by our beliefs in life?

Should we devote our lives to the beliefs of this religion?

Should we define ourselves by this religion?

Are there any figure heads?

Are there are prophets/prophocies?

How should one feel about other religions? Should they be accepted for what they are, denied, fought against?

.....try thinking of any questions you could ask anyone of any religion and answer them for us.

Why write it down? Putting religions on paper was one of the worst things ever to happen to mankind. Once its there in black and white it can never change, it becomes more and more irrelevent every day. It goes from a beautiful, thought provoking concept to an unchangeable object. something that can be used to control and kill.

but hey, maybe your one is different.

[TheCheshireCat]

Here we go...

I suppose if I worship anything it'd be humanity, but mainly myself. The reason for this is that we, as a collective, are god. Nothing like the god of christianity, where god is considered conscious, we are merely this divine powerful energy, divided into seperate manifestations. As this collective we can affect the world around us e.g. miracles through prayer. When we focus our energy, we can achieve great things. Another way of achieving things is through symbolistic ritual such as blood sacrifices.

Evil doesn't exist, our morals are defined by society.

After death, we are incarnated into another form. Since this universe only exists as the imagination of ourselves, nothing comes of good or evil; there are no rules.

Your life does not have to be dedicated to anything, except doing what you want.

This is hardly your own religeon tho. These are very common beliefs. To me it seems like your taking "Spirituality" and calling it "Religeon".
