Ask questions. Evidence trumps all. Oh and I guess be nice.

But at that point it’s effectively antithetical to anything religion is. Like the actual teachings of Jesus in the Bible are mostly good to live by. But because 90% of Christians (or other religions/pick a sect) never actually read the Bible, the actual religion in practice is a lot of preachers spreading their own shit or whatever the hierarchy says. And the core concept is to ignore reality and blindly trust the impossible.

In high school I made up a pretend religion (order of the gecko) with some friends as a joke that had a positive take without the baggage that the religions we were familiar with. The tenets were about actually being accepting and opposing intolerance.

A couple decades later I heard about the Satanic Temple and other than the symboligy it was basically the same!

Two tenants

1. You must protect those weaker than you
2. You may only punch up or in self defense.

General tenants about being excellent to eachother, none of that smiting bullshit for people to cherrypick.

Multitheistic with different gods responsible for different aspects of reality with the general commandment of the religion being that the best way to become closer to the gods (or specific god of preference) is to understand their creation and thus understand them (go do science!)

Throw in some enjoyable aspects like funerals being a celebration rather than a sombre occasion; colour code the gods so we don’t even up with everything being fucking gray or gilded; And have a neat little offering ceremony for each god thats simple but unique and inexpensive so people can go all starsigny on it, offerings being a good luck thing rather than mandatory.

A religion that aims to have well built and healthy bodies to earn the favor of the gods from said religion.

Just worship cats.

Simply, I would love to start a religion on an already existing short story, The Egg: YouTube Link

Solves a bunch of programs with karma and if everyone believed it the world would undoubtedly be a better place.

Cookie based dogma.

Free access to a ps5/ series x with free online.

Gods do not exist and find your way through science and technology.

Oh, and if I’m mortally wounded, definitely do not put me in a machine and sacrifice thousands of psychics to keep me alive.

And remember, Gods don’t exist! Definitely don’t be a heretic or an alien!

“Blessings to the Future Generations” forward-thinking traditions rather than handicapping the now to fit the past’s biases

Nothing is True Everything is Permitted

Origin

This idiomatic expression originates from Friedrich Nietzsche, the famous philosopher who wrote the phrase in his 1859 book, “The Geneology of Morals.” However, Nietzsche attributes the phrase’s origin to Hassan-i-Sabbah, the leader of the historical Assassins. This sect was a part of Isma’ili and Shia Islam. However, there is no verified proof of these claims.

I don’t think there is a religion that can be overwhelmingly beneficial today.

Most religions already emphasize kindness, generosity and compassion but it is ultimately easily corruptable. Every religious group seemingly has to hate somebody.

Long ago it would have imperative to human development, to explain the world around us and to motivate people to work cooperatively. Science has fulfilled that role however and now it seems religion makes individuals closer minded, refusing to believe in reason.

If religious people sternly stuck to their principles (looking at American Christians) I don’t even think we’d be having this conversation in the first place.
