    I got this idea from an exercise I had to do in a religious studies lesson when I was 15, the idea is simply "if you were to start your own religion what belief from a present religion would you bring to it and what new belief would you bring to it" and just to be clear this thread is not about arguing over religions validity it is simply a hypothetical of what your perfect religion would be like.

    My religion would have no rewards for doing good (i.e. a heaven) so that good people would be doing good for unselfish reasons. *shrugs* There, that's what I'd implement.

    I'd start a religion dedicated to Frank Sinatra.

    No, I would basically turn New Christianity into a religion.

    I wouldn't. With time it would either die or would get really successful and all up its own ass with its mutated, self-reighteous message.

    You know, like pretty much every religion ever (well, not all).

    At school, you do not have to conform to their ways. That means no homework.

    Sounds like something you'd die from.

    I gotta go with George Carlin, and the church of Joe Pesci. The holy one simply gets things done.
