I don't want to pray or believe in something who may not exist.
The proof for religions are too weak to be called fact.

There are actually only two things who are fact here in universe. 1: You can't know anything for sure except these facts. 2: Everything can happen.

So don't make any conclusions of how it must be.



My vision is then to create an own religion; the Happycism.
If you ask me what the meaning with life is; I will answer to be happy. To have a great life you enjoyed. That's what the Happycism will do; make people happy.


If you want to join; it's great. You can have this religion and another if you want.


If you're sad; click here or here.


Be happy!
Sincerely JohnGarell.

You don't need a religion to be happy. Also, religion includes some kind of supernatural thingies. What does yours include? A happy-god, or happy-ghosts?
Sounds basically like a nice thing, but is kinda unnecessary

There are no Gods or ghosts in Buddhism either. Just saying.

Anyways, being happy is always nice.

Smile to the world, and the world will smile back... Until you're out of hearing distance, then it'll start talking about what a weirdo you are.

It totally is.

Though, it might depend on your definition of the word.

Sure It's a very spiritual movement so it might be seen as a religion. But technically they don't believe in any deity.

And according to some definitions of the word, belief in a deity is not necessary. Buddhism is usually referred to as a religion.

I never said religion has to include belief in a deity but I'm pretty sure there is belief in supernatural or spiritual things in buddhism too, right? And what have I written exactly?

If you aren't worshiping a God or anything of that nature, then you don't have a religion. What you proposing is a way of life that will probably never be realized.

I don't believe in your religion, there is no proof it is right.

I would replace 2: with I exist, as there are things that can't happen.

Sounds like a nice basis for a religion but I don't see why one would be required. In fact making it a religion could ultimately lead to a corruption of the core tenants. So it might serve better as a form of philosophy.

What; for example?!

Are you sure that you exist? What if; that whole life is a dream. Someone is dreaming about us; like they were us.

(wow; that was deep)

There is a proof who says that to laugh; is the best way get strong and have motion. Laughing people survive better.

Also, religion includes some kind of supernatural thingies. What does yours include? A happy-god, or happy-ghosts?


We don't need that as long as the humans can laugh by themselves! Why does something need to be holy?

How do they survive better? People don't get through life by just laughing.

They often get a better way to look at life. In war; they're strong and mighty and win the battles.

But the Happycism don't like wars. We prefer peace!

Good morale does help win wars but people also need to be smart. Technology helps too.

Might I just say that religious terms are often used in very specific moral or emotional views. They're more powerful than common terminology because the essence of faith and spirituality taints them (not saying that's a bad thing).

Take something like this, for example:

Now, I know it isn't necessarily religious terminology (in fact some of it is latin) but the "gist" of it, right?

Just pointing that out. It's a way of expression for people, I'd imagine.
