What is my religion?

Question

I'm searching for a belief system that matches what I already believe. Please help. And no, Jesus is not my answer.

I believe in a god who helps those who help themselves, but doesn't condemn nonproductive ruthlessness or compulsive backstabbing. My god is proud of those who advance themselves, admits that sometimes it is necessary to do so at the expense of others, but does not feel others should be made to suffer just for emotional gain. The value of other humans and the effects of your actions on them must always be considered when you promote yourself at their expense.

My god finds that in meritocracy, poverty is a sin and the poor are sinners. My god does not believe in consumption at the expense of other humans or the natural world. He/she is offended by SUVs and the people who drive them just as surely as those who could lift themselves from poverty but don't.

My god is offended by overt displays of religosity. As all attempts to worship if fall woefully short of what it deserves, praising it is like telling a loved one that they're "ok", so praising it in public is degrading as it is ultimately a pathetic understatement.

My god intervenes in the physical world. Occasionally.

My god wants us all to succeed. It does not punish us to eternal damnation because we screwed up, though we do suffer for our misdeeds. My god teaches, it does not test.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Your god needs a psychoanalyst to address the delusions of grandeur and superiority complex.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if there is a similar religion and I'm not sure if you're being a little sarcastic but your philosophy is very interesting.

At first I was a little offended at your question but the more I read it the more it kinda makes sense.

I especially like your last line .. 'My God teaches it does not test' and the fact that you did not refer to your god as a particular gender.

Thank you for giving me something to think about.  I do like controversy.

Answer 3

Intelligence without the "Faith in Unseen" things will lead to ignorance of the the true purpose of this life. Bcos science itself is based and developed on certain fundamental beliefs. In Secondary school we all study in Mathematics Limit tends to Infinity. What is this Infinity. It is blind faith only. In physics, the entire material science is based on an assumption of an Imaginary Particle called "Photon". Today's electronics is also based on this faith only. The astronomy of the present modern world says that the boundary of the universe is 4 billion light years away from earth. One light year is the distance travelled by light in one year. Till today all these faiths remain as faiths. A true scientist will never deny God. TO LIVE and die a good person as expected by our All-Intelligent, Omni present God, we are here. Any religion which identifies this True Almighty God is the right one.  

Answer 4

we all should worship the CREATOR who created us.

follow the religion of peace i.e. Islam.

don't be confused with the muslims you see around you.Islam is the most misunderstood religion in world.

the one who disturbs peace is not a muslim according to Quran.

read Quran to understand Islam.

say that "there is no one to be worshiped except ALLAH the CREATOR of universe and Muhammad [peace be upon him] is HIS messenger and slave"

Answer 5

Sounds like a scientology/liberal hybrid with a stroke of atheism.  Atheism God=yourself, you make your own idea of right and wrong, and your specific ideas of right and wrong sounds like scientology and liberalism.

Answer 6

Why do you need a god again? Drop the deity and you are an atheist or agnostic, or whatever it is that you want to be a part of....or you could just make up your own set of beliefs. (its called spirituality) Don't be so eager to put yourself in a box. It is ok to be different.

Answer 7

Just pick one, geeze.  You are silly enough to believe in a fictitious super natural hero, so it doesn't really matter to us which one you pick.  I'd advise staying away from Islam, unless you like killing people.

Answer 8

You don't have a religion really, you have a make-believe god that suits your likings.

Answer 9

Sounds like Satan

Your right Jesus would not be of this person, this sounds like people of themselfs and not of God

Answer 10

Yes, stop asking long *** questions.

Answer 11

Your asking strangers on the internet.

What is your problem, you mean?
