I was thinking to myself the other day. I remember when I was in University. There were all sorts of "majors" to chose from. And all sorts of personalities that chose those various majors. Business majors, Math majors, Psychology, Philosophy, Art, Music, Biology, Physics ... and on and on. It's too bad we didn't organize our entire religious institution likewise. With more freedom of choice. Then I got to thinking about BSG Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! (probably because I was watching Caprica). In a world where there are numerous Gods and Goddess - I think it could, with some tweeking, be organized like University. An over arching theme (say "University"/Pantheon) but then lots and lots of very VERY diverse theisms. Of course American Christianity is somewhat exactly like this. But, with different Gods and religious books, it could be a whole lot more creative and fun Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! We don't live in a world where we need the Us-versus-Them religious paradigm (do we?). So, we should just revamp the whole thing and make it much more creative and much more fun. I think this would be a really good thing for society right now. The next "evolution" in "spirituality" if you will. Anyway, it was just a thought..... I bet the Hindus already came up with this didn't they Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Gods damn it, 5000 year late! OK, I need food and sleep....
Spirituality by definition requires a recognition of and an investment in the spirit. Is there room for that in your world?
Well, I assumed so? It's not that everyone has to be religious or even spiritual. We could have theism for those who would like a deep spirituality and theism for those of us more interested in having fun :shrug: That's what makes this world creative. People can move from sect to sect. Artists have levels they progress though don't they? Beginners and experts and classical versus experimental.... note: I modified the OP a little bit. I have a few more hours of work and then I really need some food. A small tin of tuna mixed with natto isn't making it thought 12 hours like I thought it would....
I think it would be good for those who need and are drawn to belief in general. I can really dig this idea. I assume there would be an atheism division, yes?
