  Well since you asked.....
  
  I'd be interested in a religion that valued the unseen mysteries and marvels all around us and who viewed life as a continuing cycle of birth and rebirth and love and lovers endlessly finding each other.
  Loving dead ancestors would be of help to the living.
  
  Its church would be a cathedral of redwood trees above and ferns below near a waterfall with blue birds flying close to the water.
  
  So I would be a nature worshiper I guess. The full moons, the warm sun, the wind,the sparkling water and tides all would be very important to me. We would be intimately involved with each other. And one day I would join them

  can someone say MISERY (like the movie)? I am happy where I am at right now.

  I would have to say Buddhist. Seeing they can pretty much make a place for all. And there I can just "be". Seems to be an underlying theme lately. While in class last year I kept noticing that the things I follow most closely were aligned with Buddhism. Seems appropriate.

  I was going to mention this earlier and thought i did, but perhaps I did not because it for a bit appeared that everyone was umping on the Buddha train and that made it less attractive. But then again, why avoid something because everyone does it just to make a statement. Sometimes things are done because they are good. lol I think I am thinking in circles a bit.

  Religion was created by our primate ancestors during their social evolution by those that had small penises and small brains... it was the only way they could find to get a leg up on the physically dominate males and they needed an edge so they could mate. I'm writing a book called "the Killing of the Alpha" and I'm calling on us as a species to stop all systems that call for any forms of domination between the sexes or any institutions (governments ectera) and call for a spirit of cooperation. If we don't learn to do this we're doomed as a species. So I guess "cooperation" has become my religion.

  I'm all for religious liberalism Unitarian Universalists are very good. I'm currently going to a Presbyterian, they are struggling with liberalism and some are very for it.
