How about Dionysis?samoth said:Personally, if I had to pick a religion, I'd go with something polytheistic.
Hail Odin!

Christianity is the Microsoft of religions...
"It is possible that Dionysian mythology would later find its way into Christianity. There are many parallels between Dionysus and Jesus; both were said to have been born from a virgin mother, a mortal woman, but fathered by the king of heaven, to have returned from the dead, to have transformed water into wine, and to have been liberator of mankind. The modern scholar Barry Powell also argues that Christian notions of eating and drinking "the flesh" and "blood" of Jesus were influenced by the cult of Dionysus. Certainly the Dionysus myth contains a great deal of cannibalism, in its links to Ino (however, one must note that Dionysian cannibalism has no correlation with self-sacrifice as a means of propitiation). Dionysus was also distinct among Greek gods, as a deity commonly felt within individual followers. In a less benign example of influence on Christianity, Dionysus' followers, as well as another god, Pan, are said to have had the most influence on the modern view of Satan as animal-like and horned.[11] It is also possible these similarities between Christianity and Dionysiac religion are all only representations of the same common religious archetypes. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the story of Jesus turning water into wine is only found in the Gospel of John, which differs on many points from the other Synoptic Gospels. That very passage, it has been suggested, was incorporated into the Gospel from an earlier source focusing on Jesus' miracles.[12]"

My father was kicked out of the synagogue when he was 12 years old. He was from a strict, jewish family. He made the Rabbi so angry, my father was never allowed to come back to synagogue. He was in a lot of trouble for it for a long time. His parents were very upset. Plus, the whole neighborhood was very strict about the religion. He even lost some friends because of parents not wanting him around them. He's no longer bitter about it. Actually, it's a funny story when he tells it. He was debating with the Rabbi about the burning bush. I guess he had caused several problems with such debates. The rabbi finally gave him the boot. Now, he's a lawyer. Has been for a gazillion years. I guess he started practicing early, lol. He never forced any religion down my throat. He thinks it's all a crock of shit.... but he let me chose for myself.
