Home made religoun (mystic, tradition, beliefs, America, churches)

That makes perfect sense to me. God doesn't say that we MUST belong to a particular religion. God is a God of love. Love is what God understands.

Well, you certainly have my congrats...

There is but one true path to God, and that is from within. No religion will ever answer the questions you seek. Not if you’re a truly searching individual. I started this same path many years ago and I thank God everyday for the ability to think for myself and to have allowed me to get to where I am today. Good luck, it’s not the easiest road to travel, but definitely the most fulfilling spiritually...

Less followers means less money for the organization...simple math...Means preachers have to get real jobs...

Hey, it's better to have a religion without a church than a church without religion.

Gosh, I'd just given you frubals when I realized that you'd say the same thing about Joseph Smith. Joke's on me, huh?

After exploring the forum for a while, I've found that from my perspective that alot of the religouns have a little bit that makes sense to me. No one faith interests me in a big way.
For one, I believe in God. No doupt about that. Secondly I'm no expert in theology.
So my thought is this. Why couldn't a person like me create his or her won religoun and practice this faith? If nothing else makes sense to them why not create something that does ?

That is not a new thought ,a good one ,but certainly not new.
Man has been doing it for years

There is no reason you cannot develop your own spirituality or religion, Mavrikmind: so long as it does not lead to unhappiness and is coherent, go for it.
