In a purely hypothetical situation...

[Bishka]

If you were to convert to a faith...which one would you choose and why?

 

[Nanda]

UU Theist, I guess. It would be the best fit.

 

[Kungfuzed]

I don't think I could join any of them without redefining them in some way. I think I share at least some beliefs with each of them but I'm not 100% with any of them. I'm probably closest to Budhism or UU or Hindu.

 

[eudaimonia]

The closest would be Stoicism, though Buddhism is close as well.

"Why" is simply a similarity of philosophy stances.


eudaimonia,

[Jayhawker Soule]

Judaism.

 

[Ori]

Buddhism, maybe.

 

[doppelganger]

I already understand enough about 8 of those that I don't think I would feel like I was really "converting". I don't think it's possible for me to "convert" to a religion anymore.

 

[Aasimar]

Taoism

 

[Random]

If I were to convert, which I probably would not, it would be Buddhism.

 

[Mercy Not Sacrifice]

Quite possibly, Paganism.

1. It is the living definition of "old school."
2. It understands the concept of energy flow better than any faith I've seen.
3. It places an emphasis on the feminine divine, not just on a patriarchal God.
4. It stresses not just care, but reverence, for the Earth.

Honestly, though, I'd be more likely to go with Buddhism.

 

[standing_alone]

Either Paganism or UU Theism.

*raises hand* Um, I'd like to change my vote...

 

[Mr Spinkles]

UU or Buddhism I suppose.

 

[Draka]

Most likely Hinduism, as a lot of its beliefs sync pretty well with mine..

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I voted for Buddhism myself, since I think of the ones listed, it's the closest to my current beliefs.

However, if I were to stop being an atheist, I would think it would be because I became convinced of the truth of a particular religion; at that point, whether it agrees with how I think religion "should" be would be a bit irrelevant.

 

[Jaymes]

Buddhism, since you don't have to be theistic to be Buddhist.

 

[Mathematician]

I am Taoist, so my choice is rather obvious to those who can follow through with conclusions.....

 

[UnTheist]

Buddhism. But it doesn't matter...

 

[Smoke]

I am Taoist, so my choice is rather obvious to those who can follow through with conclusions.....

But what would you convert to from Taoism?

I picked Taoism, meaning philosophical Taoism, but nontheistic Buddhism would be okay, too. Buddhists usually believe things I consider to be implausible, but I could fall right in with the practices of several Buddhist sects.
