If prayers end in "ramen," it must mean the flying spaghetti monster is a salty fiend.May his noodly appendage touch you. Ramen
That’s fair lolI found a stone statue of our Dark Lord $400 was a bit too much for me.
Some fictional religions are parodies, eg, The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Some seem to have become real for followers, eg, Jedi.
I like Bokononism for its way of viewing reality & living in it.
Bokononism - Wikipedia
Bokononism (/ˈboʊkoʊnɒnˌɪzəm/) is a religion invented by Kurt Vonnegut and
practiced by many of the characters in his novel Cat's Cradle. Many of the sacred
texts of Bokononism were written in the form of calypsos.[1]
Bokononism is based on the concept of foma, which are defined as harmless untruths.
A foundation of Bokononism is that the religion, including its texts, is formed entirely
of lies; however, one who believes and adheres to these lies will have peace of mind,
and perhaps live a good life. The religion's bible, The Books of Bokonon, begins:
"Don't be a fool!
Cthulhu, as written about by the great author Lovecraft. Is it real? Is it fictional?Some fictional religions are parodies, eg, The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

So, fellow posters....what appeals to you & why?

Vulcans don't have a religion, but follow a philosophical code (IDIC). The Klingons killed their gods because "they were more trouble than they were worth." (Warf) Its also more Bushido than anything. And DS9 was a serious "wtf?" the way it deviated from the way Roddenberry had Star Trek approach religion.I'm fascinated by the religious systems in Star Trek. Vulcans, Klingons, and Bajorans all have religious traditions that I find appealing on some level. The Vulcan is probably my favorite or what I would adopt if I were a character in that universe. It strikes me as a variant of Buddhist thought.
Klingon religion is less expounded upon but seems somewhat like Norse or Viking mythology. They also have a particular monastery that contains time altering crystals which is just awesome.
Bajorans worship gods who actually turn out to be real non-corporeal aliens who live inside a wormhole, and really do send the people of Bajor a variety of messages or predictions of the future.
I have no particular power to judge you, but I'm pretty sure your chances of going to heaven are no different to mine.Jesus does love us.
The aristocracy can kiss my grits.
Don't judge me Tom. That's God's job. I may go not go to Heaven.

Well, your calculation or mine, best of luck to us both.If by 50/50 chance for either of us, then yes you'd be correct.
Some fictional religions....
