Invent your own faith system
July 11, 2010 at 11:55 am (This post was last modified: July 11, 2010 at 11:55 am by Godhead.)
It has to have :

- a god
- no prophet
- no scriptures
- describe this god's qualities and attributes
- describe the nature and purpose of the universe
- a philosophy for how to live

This is your own faith system, no one else's.

Why would we want to do that? You seem to have it down already.

Why would we need faith? Faith is for people who don't know better.

No.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

I've actually invented a few myself - two for books/stories that have never been written and three for forum based roleplaying realms. Of course, these are all fantasy based, polytheistic pantheons of deities that actually manifest physically and grant their followers special powers.

Well mine too are fantasy based, some are polytheistic, other are material worshippers, at least one "destroy the world"cult, and one personally i'm not ready to talk about.


also one religion i would want is another sect of muslims converted to seclular morals, defending that what Muhammad defended(violence and pedophilia), where acceptable a long time ago, but it must evolve today age's where these values are no longer acceptable

Why does it have to have a god?
I thought this was my religion I can do what I damn well please.
