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.
In Sweden we have a saying that goes "A good laugh extends your life" (sounds a bit silly when directly translated). The only similar English saying I could find was "Laughter is the best medicine.
That's not really nonsense either, laughter can help you relax and relieve stress, amongst other things.
Good morale does help win wars but people also need to be smart. Technology helps too.
Why not have both?
"You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone." - Al Capone. It was slightly relevant to the topic, I think. Maybe not.
It's one of the few things I can be sure of and in your example it would still be me.
Well that's a pretty hard example to disprove. I'm not a professor. Think again a new dimension or many new dimensions. What can they do? What if they already exist?
Are you sure that you exist? What if; that whole life is a dream. Someone is dreaming about us; like they were us.
I know i am quoting someone multiple pages back, but i have a response. It's actually more of a suggestion for 2. here is is:
2: Your mind exists, and that is for sure.
It is the only thing that you percieve without your senses. in a way, it IS you. Your body existing? questionable. As you said, maybe this is a dream. If so, think of it this way: In a dream, you might be in a totally different body in an environment with totally different physics and features. Yet, your mind remains the same as in this body now. I take this as some evidence to my previous statement.
I think that it's a great religon. You just need to take a more philisophical view of it. Besides everyone should have the opprotunity to be happy. Or at least satisfied.
