What if I Start a New Religion? ☯️

[Candle]

What's the problem if I start a new religion in future? 

(Disclaimer : I am not doing anything on this forum, as creating a religion on the forum is against the guidelines.) 

I will write books and promote the religion too much. I'll write everything that's needed for a good life. Bcz many things are not included in older religions. And there are many rituals whose meanings have been changed by people. Times have changed a lot. 

I will write my own ways of living. 

Pillars : 

Education system. 

Protocols for Health. Business. Relationships. 

Parenting. Teaching.

Sports. Environment. Social Work. Gender sensitization. 

Tantra and supernatural abilities. 

Science and Art. 

Spirituality & Philosophy. Etc. 

The point is : I see parents and teachers don't do their work well. And this is one of the root causes of all human problems. Bcz kids are not raised properly. They lack great qualities and values. Only bcz of the education system, parents and teachers. 

No religion has a specific code of conduct for parenting and teaching, which is much needed if we have to transform societies. 

Also, what would happen if we remove all religions from the world? Are religions necessary? bcz 99% of religious people are blind followers. 

✓ Sometimes, even in blindly following a code of conduct, they do good things and prevent this planet from becoming more hellish. 

✓ If I remember this motivation in future, I'll create a new religion. 

✓ I am afraid of other random people starting  new religions and messing up everything.

Reminds me of this: 

[Jannes]

Thats good and all but it doesn't include a plan on how you would gather a following. What is your god? How would you make people faithful?

[Nivsch]

If you apply your religion only to yourself then it is good and right (for you).

You can't apply it to others and expect it will be moral because it won't. It is immoral to try to make your way others.

Each person has to get an autonomy to go his own path, that is the only moral influence you can offer to others.

Don't worry about that. I won't share the plan. I know what to do. No mystical person (God) needed. A leader is needed. Like Guru Nanak Dev (Sikhism). 

It requires marketing. I know how it will spread. I know how people's psychology works.

No one is forcing anyone to follow a religion. To follow or unfollow a religion is a fundamental human right. Also creating a new one is also a fundamental human right. @Nivsch 

If it appeals to someone, they will definitely follow it.

@Candle The world needs new religions. Actual religions are outdated, if you can bring an uplifting system that unites people towards higher consciousness that is very much welcomed.

I've been contemplating that as well, I had a profound epiphany where it was shown to me the need for new Religions to happen, in a very holistic advanced sense.

Yes but even if they follow something out of free choice it can be dangerous later if their own needs and ways of micro managing their path won't get the top priority.

I am not saying you can't help but you take a huge responsibility on your shoulders similar to become a therapist for example. So don't take anything personally I don't know you and maybe you are good at it.

I never take anything personally. I am afraid that others don't take personally. Some of them do. 

And you wrote good. I know the fact that, no matter how great a religion is, there is always a risk of distortion and misuse. Don't forget that evil has arised from the "good" only. Every religion had started with love and goodness. Every religion had good intentions. But every one of them fucked up later on. I mean wars, etc. 

Maybe there was some technical flaw in every religion.

Starting a religion is not easy. They often turn into cults. Once the pioneer or founder is dead, the religion can be hijacked and turned into a sophisticated cult by it's followers.

Ok. But you wouldn't invent anything new because you basically just described self improvement/self help LOL
