Title says it all.
Me, I’ll go with Muslim. From my limited understanding, it seems to make the most sense.
Taoism or Buddhism, since those don’t require belief in any gods.
Zen.
I want my own planet. So, Morman?
Quaker. I like the meditative aspect and they’re not pushy about the God stuff.
What do you mean by choose? Give lip service to it, or devoutly practice? Cuz if it’s devoutly practice, Muslims and Jews are both out on grounds of I LIKE pork, and several branches of Christianity are out because I LIKE bourbon.
I’d probably go with generic Norse-Pagan. Hard to piss off a Norse god, other than by showing cowardice in battle, which ain’t really an issue for me…
I’d go for some river god or mountain god belief system (river gods and mountain gods tend not to write books and stuff)
And a pilgrimage along a river or up a mountain would be much more beneficial to one’s sense of inner peace.
I want to be a Bokononist.
I’d probably go back to being Jewish again.
Even a planet and omniscient power isn’t worth it.
Is there any religion that requires absolutely nothing from me?
Give me something pagan. With lots of sex and weird rites. Perhaps around a bonfire.
If I had to pick one, it would probably be the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
In college, my friends and I used to joke that we were “Secular Taoists.” No idea what it meant, though.
-D/a
Unitarian Universalism?
I still have a soft-spot in my heart for liberal Christianity, so I’d probably return to that, either Church of England or a really laid-back urban Catholic congregation.
Whichever one lets me abuse the most religious exemptions.
I’m already an ordained minister of the Church of the Latter-Day Dude: http://dudeism.com/.
But if we’re talking serious religions, then I’d want to pick Judaism since my wife’s half Jewish and I feel we don’t understand as much as we should about the culture. . . but g-ds-damn I likey the bacon too much.
I’d probably pick something that puts as little emphasis as possible on the whole “worship a superpowered deity” bit - Buddhism, maybe.
The only way I would get religion will be if God appears and threatens me. I will ask which one to choose.
Can I pick a cult of my own design? And can I be the leader?
I think I would call it the Church of Transhumano Astro-syncopatheism. We’d worship aluminum and sunsets.
Perfect!
Zen.
