I have an interest in Orthodox Hasidic Judaism, Orthodox Christianity , and Sikhism.

Orthodox Hasidic Judaism : close-knit community, nice music ( nigun ), spiritual dancing, spiritual chanting , elegant dresses, cute haircut ( i mean payot ), amazing traditions and rituals.

Orthodox Christianity : beautiful music, beautiful chanting, nice architecture, lovely Santa Claus priests.

Sikhism : nice music, nice chanting , cool martial art, unique dresses, interesting traditions and rituals.

What religion suits me ? I need advice , please.

I worry that Guru , Rebbe, and Priest do not allow me to follow three religions at the same time.
Simply, there's no need to tell them.

Ah! people don't afraid of having even more than three ex-boyfriends/ex-girlfriends. And you just afraid of religions.. loll ? :)

I think Rebbe will kick me out of the shul
Priest will kick me out of the church
Guru will kick me out of the temple
Than I think you need to search some another religion. :)

Because, Imo rather than kicking them out a True religion is like a hospital who never refuse to admit a patient.

From your description, you seem to admire a lot of the "surface" of each. Do you know about what they believe in? Their theology, rules and so on. I don't mean to upset you but it's not a club to look "cool" in. There are things in each that might make you uncomfortable or you could totally disagree with.

If you had a look, I'm sorry I assumed otherwise (I'm just going by your description), what is it you agree with? Is there anything that would bother you about them? Did you try this test? It can help you define what you believe in and guide you towards something similar.

LOL, does God actually figure in your equation at all?

You seem to be drawn to the trappings without thought about what you might be worshipping. :confused: If you don't care about the deeper things, then what does it matter? :p

Not sure how you can deny the chance to have Santa Claus priests really.

Most Orthodox Priests are Eastern Europeans = Santa Claus

Most old Rebbe are Eastern Europeans = Santa Claus in black suit with tire furry hat.

Old Guru Sikh = Indian Santa Claus with turban

I really admire Sikh, Hasidic, and Orthodox Christian culture

I want to be part of their culture.

Although culture and religion are often intertwined, I think this observation by yourself about yourself should help a lot. Too bad there isn't a 'What culture am I?" survey to fill in.

In most faiths we have cultural _______ s, like cultural Hindus, cultural Christians, etc. So maybe if you can tell us about the cultural aspects you admire.. food, clothing, language. There are many cultural halls or groups you can join. For example, there may be an Armenian association in Toronto, or a Greek cultural society. This takes the philosophy out of it.
