Do you have a mirror?

or you could go the mature route and try to be respectful.

I recently discovered shamanistic paganism. Surprisingly, the rituals are pretty much the same. At full moon they sit down and share wine and bread....which is surprisingly close to the christian and catholic tradition of the blood and flesh of Christ. And pagans were around hundreds of years before Christ. That's enough to make me a non believer of everything. All religions are so similar to each other, I think the idea is there, but nobody is 100% right.

generally speaking they're all trying to explain why life exists and what happens when your body dies. languages and cultural barriers being what they are provides ample means for ideas to be lost in translation at best or interpreted as condemning and threatening at worse.

ok i got a question what is the difference between like baptists, catholics, methodists, and all those other things. i mean there are some slight differences i see like catholics pray to the Virgin Mary more and baptists pray more directly to God. but other than that why do there have to be so many different names when its basically all the same thing

Different interpretations lead to different beliefs lead to different denominations.
The differences that exist between their beliefs are apparently important enough to them for denominations to have sprung up.

Apparently it is, to them.
I'm pretty sure followers of any particular denomination don't want other denominations mucking around with their interpretations.

Haha, I was playin.

I don't like the idea of organised religion and I don't pretend to know what's gonna happen to us. But my idea is we are all connected by some energy blah blah blah but there is no higher being. Its just like this same life runs through all of us and nothing ever dies, it just changes.
