If religion was compulsory ...

... I was thinking the other day, what I'd do if, suddenly, I had to be a christian. If some law came to pass or something. I think I'd be a Quaker. All that compulsory daydreaming once a week (I'm sure nobody would be able to tell I wasn't communing with an invisible friend).
If the law was that I had to choose between the desert 3, I suspect I'd choose Judaism. Not Orthodox obviously, I couldn't do with all the dressing in black and wearing a wig in summer. I rather like that the Jews don't tell everyone else that they will go to hell if they don't become Jewish. Also, I rather like the coming together every Friday for a family dinner, a rather nice tradition (although, I'd be fussy about which family).
If I was forced to pick a religion, any religion, I guess it would be some form of airy fairy multi-god earth religion.
But I'm very, very glad I don't have to pick one, because I'd be fibbing whatever I chose.

Me, too. Agree with all of that. Don't trust organized religions, generally, so I'd probably plump for Druid, as long as I could choose the victims of sacrifice. :-)

You could join my church, but I'm not "affiliated." The Church of I Hate People. Or the Church of FTW. We're very nice, odd as that sounds.

Zoomie, I quite like the Druids, except for the human sacrifice bit. Although, as you point out, if I could select the victims ...
Cookie - But I like some people, like you :)
