If you were going to convert...

Let's say hypothetically, if you were going to convert to another religion (despite how you feel about your current religion), what would you convert to? Please explain why?

Episcopalian with pagan influences and not much respect for most organized religions...I think I'd go...Wiccan. Tons of fun, good spells and great flowing clothes.

Hmm. If one was to become invloved in a "Christian" religion. I guess the Jehovah;s witnesses do go out there and do what is told for them to do in the bible. But I don't know if that is only based on their interpretations as the bible has become distorted by being transcribed and humanly understood. Hmm. Have to think on this a bit.

I'm a non-theist who practices Zen Buddhism. Without wussing out and saying Mormonism (rule your own planet? I'll be abstinent for that! And there's this smoking Mormon girl who's mad about me but won't be involved with a non-Christian. Boo.).... I'll go with.... Shoot, tough question. Uuuuuh... Judaism! Great social networking options, my racial heritage is Hebrew, I want to be a lawyer, Hanukah (sp?) sounds rad, they make great bread, I'm digging the flyzilla hats, already circumsized (go USA!), get to learn a secret code language only other Jews understand, and my girlfriend's persistent "Jew" comments (due to the heritage thing) would be completely substanciated!

I would never convert to another religion....I think all of them have truths and that if we were to put all of them together that may be something that would be interesting to look at but still not to convert to. Practicing individuality appeals to me more.

Mormonism, for the polygamy.

Scientology. If I'm going to start believing in nonsense, I'm going to go all in.

Baha'i here. hmm... I'd have to choose Unitarian Universalist as it's mostly in line with my current beliefs.

Baptized Catholic. I'd convert to paganism just for the heck of it. Just to say I'm a pagan. As of right now, I'm leaning towards atheism and agnosticism

I always said if I couldn't be a Baha'i, I'd probably be a Sikh. Same views on equality, and it's peaceful. I've always noticed how Baha'is and Sikhs seem to connect very quickly at interfaith devotionals, we both notice the striking similarities in our faith that peak our interest in each others' religions.

I think this is a hard question to answer because I think God is transcendent of religion. I guess I call myself a Christian only because I believe Jesus is the supreme example of love and the best example of what God is like. If I had to convert ... I wouldn't associate with a "religion" at all. Maybe Bahai because I wish my church would do cool practices like making art ;)

I suppose I'd choose Buddhism.

Good question

The understanding that i have that all religion is ONE. Its like going to the same school house and all the teachers are special and thoughful of my educational advancement. Yes, I'm attached to their knowledge and love each and everyone of them. So my my conversion is simple, to go and worship with all faiths in the spirit of love and fellowship and to convert to the need of humanity with service.

I have been looking for some kind of kin ship to religions.. I have been converted to like 5 different churches... and I have found in my journey that I will stick to the planet earth and just love it for all that it gives me.. It seem to except me for me and not try to change me..

Buddhism
