I believe that each and every religion on the planet is correct. That means that whatever your belief, it is true. Whatever you believe, becomes your truth, in other words, if you believe in reincarnation, then you'll reincarnate, if you are an atheist, the you'll simply die and have no afterlife, and if you're a Christian, you'll either go to Heaven or Hell and meet Jesus...etc., etc,....
Well, as I said, if you are an atheist, then that will be your reality. Then again, every other person's religion is true for him. You create your own reality by your thoughts and beliefs.
I believe you can create what you might want to experience, because we have that capability being part of the creative process, but in all sense it is only a creation....Like a play we would create. Ultimately there is only one real truth........And that is that we are part of something bigger and not quite explainable.
Exactly, then you'll be an atheist. What I meant was any belief, world view, philosophy, way of life, way of thinking about life and the world, etc., etc...you get the idea?
Whatever your view on life is, is true, becomes true for you.

Looking at you.
The reality we live is a illusion and no one is free from this illusion. The true reality is beyond our reach. There is no set past or undetermined future, only now and now always changes. Because life is a illusion that existed only now, it can be anything you wish it to be. However, the outcome is not yours alone, but all Gods (you and me) that live in the law, share this reality. So, that is why it seems to be not an illusion. When you die, you will experience the after life, or none life, that you expect, however, it can be changed by those people next to you in life. As a Buddhist I believe that when a persons dies that I can change their Karma because reality is also my illusion.
I am not a Buddhist but I like a lot the view from up there. Above all: " The True reality is beyond our reach".

Still damn silly. Sort of like when a bunch of kids have a contest, and every one gets a prize because we woiuldn't want the little brats to feel bad, would we?
If I found my own religion, can I create my own God? Will he die if I then convert to another religion? What a power trip!

I believe in the end, we create what we want..........It would explain many near death experiences and why they are so different depending on your faith........
That's cool Wonderer, so thier is no absolute truth what a wonderful world we live in.
