OK, so whether you are aithiest, Agnostic, Jewish, Hindu, Buddist, Christian, Muslim or whatever, you can discuss what you would put in Religion if you made your own Religion. Like I am sure there are a lot of things you don't like about your Religion and a lot of things you like and a lot of things you wish they would put in your religion. Therefore, this is a thread for you to state what you believe you would put in your religion of you had one.

i would put

Heaven: I know that it is probably unrealistic but I have always been brightened at the prospect that when you die you can be in a really great place where you can do what you want and visit dead relatives and friends that you have not seen for a while.

One Year Mission: I think that I would go on a one year mission to spread my religion to other people. It would help my followers be well traveled and would give them a broad mind in life.

Fasting: I would not get them to fast for spiritual reasons but I would get them to fast because it is a form of self discipline and I want to make sure my followers have good self discipline.

Aging Ceremony: I think it would be appropriate for a aging ceremony to take place. Maybe it could take place on a boy or girls 15th birthday... I dont really know. Or maybe I am just jealous of the Jews

Thats pretty much it for religious beliefs. Maybe I will think of more later

But sleep has a level of conscious, right? (Like dreams and junk) Would you just not exist any more, or would we still float around feeling like we're sleeping?

Dreaming is actually when your brain is most active, so... maybe it would be like being stuck in a never ending dream. Matrix style.

If being dead was just like sitting there watching a matrix, I would be so happy.

You did pretty good in making your post depressing seb. Ya, if I were being truthful to myself I wouldn't believe in Heaven but it just seems so nice a thought on your deathbed to think, "wow, life had its bads and goods and I am glad I had it and now after the adventures of life, I can finally go to a world of bliss and happiness" and then "Now I can see my wife again and can see that aunt that my whole family loved that died in a car accident when I was three." It just seems much more comforting.

Again, it can't be depressing if you can't feel anything. Ideally, it's as smooth as falling asleep.

I've always felt like this was the main attraction of religion. The idea of heaven is awesome!
