I don't think that there is much that I can add to the previous posts.

If there has to be one that needs to be picked, then either Buddhism or Taoism, even those aren't really religions.

I vote #2. Believing in that which involves nothing that requires believing. Following the tenets of that which has none. The religion of no belief. What a relief! |

I feel dependence on religion is a symptom of lack of self-worth. If we're to feel and know our infinite and eternal value we would be much healthier and more free.

Why are we here ? Though WE may have forgotten Who we, and each other are, we are yet Sons and Daughters of the Most High. As such, we could only, and always, be: "Beloved of our Creator", never coerced or forsaken by our Creator.
The most sacred homage to the Truth of that Love that you can offer is to honor the I AM within yourself by loving the I AM Who is equally omnipresent within ALL your Brothers and Sisters throughout the Earth....
THAT IS WORSHIP worthy of a Creator who lovingly created us ALL out of His Own Perfect Divine pattern; Who includes us ALL within Himself; and Who loves each one of us as Himself...
...and which requires no ritual or ceremony OR religion whatsoever; just a loving heart willing to do so...
That's why all you need is love. Love is all you need. Knight is right!

Is that you Paul? Or maybe Ringo? Assuming of course internet doesn't exist in the spiritual realms, otherwise maybe... |

Baile,
I think those guys were definitely on to something, even pre-internet!

Perhaps, afterwards, he found out why whoever he thought he heard laughing, did so....and then happily joined in.

 to Hermann's genie's revelation(s), guthrio!
The genie in me chimes in with: Love-n-Joy-wave-ism (analogous to electric-n-magnetic-wave-ism) is the essenceial energy of everything!  |
