So, just sort of a question for fun: If for some reason you absolutely had to convert to a religion/belief system different from the one you currently have, which one would you choose?

I'm a Pagan, but if I wasn't one, I suppose I'd be a Buddhist or an Agnostic.

(And, yes, I know this situation would never actually come up in real life. I just thought it was sort of an interesting question to think about hypothetically.)

I'd die first. If I didn't take religion seriously though, I suppose I'd take up Wicca.

this kinda made me lol from what I know about you. You are the last person I could see being part of an orthopraxis fertility mystery religion. Now I could see you as possibly an Asatru or possibly a Neo-Pagan Eclectic, or hell even a Gnostic.

rofl What can I say, I'm a fantasy nut even if with my Christian beliefs. xd Plus I love mythology, weird gods and strange rituals. That doesn't change the fact I think the religion's false.

Then Hellenistic Recon/Eclectic or Kemetic (Egyptian) Orthodoxy/Recon might be a better choice than Wicca for you. Also there's mystery traditions within Hellenistic and Kemetic religions as well too.

Either way, I suppose it doesn't matter much. Like I said before, I'd die before giving up my beliefs.

The most I could probably take seriously is deism.

Humn. Kemetic recon or recon-inspired, Hellenic, or, were I a slightly different person, Wiccan. Possibly LaVeyan.

I’ll erase this feeling…

If I had to change religions I'd probably take up Kemetic Recon, Asatru, or maybe Wicca if my morals were different..
I’m missing the feeling…
so this pain is also welcomed!

I've already changed three times to settle where I am now...do I really have to pick another one? crying

If I had to had to HAD TO, I'd probably end up a humanist agnostic. It ain't that far from where I am now, really...

If I had to change, I'd choose Judaism.

Hmmmm, good question, especially since I've changed religions a couple of times this decade.

I guess if I had to I'd switch to Hinduism or Buddhism, though probably more towards Buddhism. I just have too many questions about karma.

Same for the karma. Agnostic first though, then Buddhism.
