/sci/ - Science & Math

I'm sorry but I don't have a scientific answer to your question.

Buddhism.

>>4658957
Why?

>>4658960
No real religious nonsense and that old pic of the Dalai Lama (haha Lama) saying that if Science proved a tenet of Buddhism wrong then Buddhism would have to change.

Buddhism is right about everything, it's not scientific, it's not proven, but there is one religion that seems more and more right as science develops, instead of the contrary like with most others.

Easy, I am suddenly a pantheist. I don't actually change any of my beliefs, or even lie about them, but I change how I use words.

Mormonism. I don't really know what they believe and I doubt I'd actually believe in it, but I've never seen an unhappy Mormon person and I'd like to be happy.

Pastafarianism
IPUism
Kopism
Church of Google
etc. etc.

>>4658979
Good idea.

If I have to choose to believe, maybe hinduism. There's a naturalistic sect that's roughly pan-theist and worships nature as God.

>>4658975

> but there is one religion that seems more and more right as science develops, instead of the contrary like with most others.

Actually, some main tenets of Buddhism come from[*] (the original) Taoism, so make that two.

[*] Or rather: separately invented.

Pastafarian

Catholicism,
I'm normally Agnostic.

>I don't need to be taken away by the secret police thank you.
>I have bigger plans

Shinto.

Because if I mimic enough of Japanese culture maybe they'll finally accept me.

I'm already Catholic. That was easy.

Rastafarianism

Already Panentheist/Panendeist

ps: atheists, for an easy way out, pick Pantheism.

dem clots will hear I an I belong to Jah Rastafari

But the opposite is going to happen.

>>4659176
I hate Christians, the regular born again Christians.
This is something good.

I hope Catholicism sticks around.

>>4659176
Great news, thank God!

>>4659188

seems like great news now, but realize those new atheists have to come from somewhere, and no matter what the majority believes most of them are hereditarily dumb.

So, as the kinds of morons who comprise the bulk of Christianity switch over to atheism because of the (currently justified, but not for long) perceived image of eliteness, it will be diluted until it surpasses Christianity in terms of the number of retarded members. Suddenly you can no longer claim atheists are by and large the best and brightest as they are today because you'll have siphoned off the "believe whatever's popular" majority dumbfucks from the previous dominant group.

Are you really ready for the kinds of people who today believe that angels and demons battle invisibly for their souls and think that Ancient Aliens is legit professing to the world that they are atheists, and representative of atheism? Isn't it better that it remain something that's not for just anyone?

>In a dystopian past the government has released an old law that says everyone has to belong to a religion (Atheist/Agnostics don't count) or be taken to never be seen again.
we've already answered this one.
we'll pretend whatever is necessary to survive.

>>4659198

See, it's not like we have a choice between angels and demons and ancient aliens. The contemporary dumbass believes in both.

The advantage with making the dumbasses atheist is that there are no atheist churches for them to rally together in and organise their dumbassery. Divide and rule.

>>4658952
Jedi is an official religion on the Census.

Jokes aside, I'd become a Jew. Ever meet a truly devout Jew? I din't think so.

Correction! There's that one "atheist church" that an artist set up to make some kind of point about something? I know because it spread like wildfire to all the anti-atheist blogs, they had a field day with it.

I looked into it and it turns out nobody actually goes there. It doesn't hold services, it was just "art". Aka, stirring the shit

Of course. Machine apocalpyism where organic biosecurity is repurposed as mammalian sex organs of vampire mechanics that writhe like loa. Then again would they allow a religion of a valid description of our current state of affairs haw haw haw?


>>4659223

Did he just say that that? woooowwww.

>>4659176

Alas but what are we winning? Now the poison, our dearest enemy, the one who makes our blood fizzle into plasma, can posture as the common sense, the common state of affairs. It no longer has to wear "Christianity" and the image of Christ like an animal skin.

The same disregard for mechanics, the same canonization of human fairy tales as valid descriptions of mechanics and all possible valid systems of evaluations, still persist.

Act the act. Just like most supposedly religious people do.

>>4659226
There's a secular humanist "church" in my area, and they do hold services. There are surely plenty of others. Not to mention all the "free-thinker clubs" out there.

In a repressive and controlled state, you won't have the agency to choose therefore this is a flawed question

Buddhism

Thor.

follow pastafarianism, just as valid as anything else

Belong =/= believe

Buddhism easily, unless Confucianism counts, then that.

buddism is barely even a religion, they dont even have a god.
its more of a philosophy

>>4658952
I join the underground resistance and fight against the unjust totalitarian dictatorship that has taken over my world.

>>4659306
> Not to mention all the "free-thinker clubs" out there.

I was in a baseball club in highschool. Nobody called it a church though, probably because it didn't make anyone feel ideologically threatened and therefore butthurt.

>>4659959

been done before.

>>4658952
Is pastafarianism allowed? if so, pastafarianism.

If not then the less crazy bit of buddhism,

I'd continue being a muslim, as always. Why did you ask?

>>4660164

Zen Buddhism
Buddhism
Taoism

inb4 mad frustrated nerds

>>4659955

>Confucianism

Of course it doesn't count it is not a religion it is a phylosophical tradition.

Taoism is the religion equivalent of Confucianism

i didn't see many mentions of humanism in this thread, but that would be the obvious choice. it's generally recognised.

>>4659962

side-note: this made me lol way harder than it probably should have.

>>4660172

muslims are amazing when there are not other religions around for them to get mad at. They are pretty successful in general

Agnostic neutral monist computationalist.
Same as now - de facto atheist, but if I had to bet my life on an unfalsifiable theory being true, that'd probably be it.

I'd roll dices... and wouldn't give more fucks about religion than I do now.

>>4660196

>Taoism the equivalent of Confucianism

mfw

Probably one of the forms of Buddhism that don't worship Buddha as a God.
Also the Dalai Lama can suck a bag of dicks, something about him rubs me the wrong way

If you guys are interested in the type of Buddhism that's the least retarded, google Theravada. No deities or any of that shit, just fairly sound moral code.

Though an old Norse religion is fine too.

Hinduism, such a cool religion.

Really I'd be totally down with adopting many of the Eastern religions/philosophies (Taoism, Buddhism, Shinto, etc). Hebraic religions are so fucking lame.

If everyone was just hearing about each religion for the first time, and given a concise explanation that led to a strong understanding of each, there is no way anybody would choose a Hebraic religion.

My family is Catholic, and I was raised in a Catholic environment. So, so lame..

>>4660422

If you told the Dalai Lama that, you would be absolutely dumbfounded by the complete absence of fuck's given.

>>4660422
>something about him rubs me the wrong way
The bag of dicks? Don't jam it in there at the same time.

>>4659939
I was gonna say that. Whatever it's called to be a believer in the Norse gods. Vikings are so brutal

>>4660450

Nordic?

>>4660455
norse pagan

>>4659956

Wrong, lots of different Buddhists sects believe in a god/gods

>>4660458

i think pagan is a pejorative that others called them.
>im just worshipping odin, the heretical pagan i am.
