How do I pick a religion? I'm currently going through a fear of ego death and I need a mystical story to put my faith behind but there's so many options I don't know where to start
Mercantilism

Kill yourself and find out what happens

islam is pretty redpilled
>>79462485
None of the abrahamic religions. They're garbage.
Hinduism is pretty neat.

You are an absurdly complex biological machine made out of earth, water and air that was designed and built by a replicating acid molecule which has been moving from organic vessel to organic vessel for the past 4 billion years, and all that info is contained within every cell of your body. You are ultimately powered by energy from the sun.
You are moving through this universe of things created by compressed energy and everything follows a specific set of rules.
The real factual story of your existence is mystical in its own way and people don't seem to care, talk about or even be aware of this reality.

Judaism my friend
Become one of god's chosen people
Not to metion that jews are the smartest people on earth
Dinduism
>Can't be blaimed for shit cause you Dindu nuffin
>Banging hoes
>Selling buying using drugs
>Mindless hedonism
>Welfare and government assistance so you don't have to work

I wish scientists weren't always so autistic about the information they have discovered. It can be told in a romanticized way and still be correct.
The fact that everything on Earth is related to each other is beautiful and it never seems to cross peoples' minds or gets written off as hippie bullshit when it's objectively correct.
>>79463136
Indeed friendo. Some people just can't accept that our own existence is far more fascinating and miraculous than our wildest fiction. There's even a saying for it. "Truth is stranger than fiction"
>>79462485
All of the "conventional" religions were just invented to control the populus.
If you want to get into some real shit, read up on the OLD religions, including but not limted to mythology.
>>79463882
It makes me sad man. People believe made up and shittier stories to explain their existence and their world and are unaware of the true nature of things.
>>79463136
Thanks for the reminder my fellow lifeform. Sometimes the mundane parts of everyday life pull me out of how beautiful this experience really is.

So, OP can bring them down a notch.

I spend a lot thinking about this stuff , but if your consciousness is at that level you are not alone, people from the past ae stil with us forever till we exist in this lifeform

Become a Kekromancer. Embrace the glory of memes.

I'd go with Christianity,
Seems like the least amount of work.
There is only one God, the Blessed Trinity, Who is your beginning and your end. You may choose whichever religion you like, but it is Christ the King Whom you will face at the end of days, your sins laid bare before He and you. Should you deny Him, He shall deny you. This is not something you "choose" as though it were the outfit you're wearing for the day. It is only a "choice" in the same way that there is a choice between Eternal Truth and falsehood.

How do people allow themselves to get brainwashed with this drivel?

Faith. It is accepting as true what you cannot possibly know to be so. You do this every day, as does everyone else on the planet.
>>79465716
in the future we gonna have a nano bot personal jesus if we find jesus adn
>>79462485
Choose the only one religion where God himself came to earth. k thx bb.
>>79462485
Orthodoxy.
>>79466075
More like accepting what people taught you to be true. Only blue pilled drones do this.
>>79462485
Don't. It will bluepill the fuck out of you. Have common sense and do the rigth thing by choosing agnosticism.
>>79462485
Do all 3 and reap the benefits of them all
>>79465966
>>79465716
jews write really nice words
It's the perfect control system, really. Tell the poor and suffering to accept their lot in life, because you'll get your reward after you die! Those bad rich people will burn in hell forever so you can just go ahead and leave them alone.
Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria picked all the books in the new testament, lots of other books said different things but this is message best for the powerful.
Redpill yourself on religion and stop trusting the powerful blindly, please.
>>79462485
Pastafarianism, obviously.
>>79466075
faith in god you mean ...
because you can do that with no religion
>>79466357
I wasn't taught anything, insofar as I was given a fairly secular upbringing outside the Church. In my late teens to early twenties, I was at times atheist, agnostic, or pantheistic in my worldview.
Any other assumptions?
>>79462485
Study them all.
I'm not joking.
They all are pretty much saying the same thing, but all have their benefits.
Except Judiasm, and Islam. You can skip those two if you just read The Bible. Start with an eastern religion (I'm sure you're already somewhat familiar with western ones)
>>79462485

Try thinking for yourself

>don't look into their arguments or the nature of their views
>just make your own
That seems excessively impractical and somewhat stupid, Anon.
>>79462485
Choose your metaphysics, then find a religion that matches it.

We really should mercy-nuke our northern neighbors before this comes to pass.
>>79463136
Very succinct. I like it.

>Starting to question why you're here
>Start fearing death
>Atheism isn't as appealing as you get older and closer to death
>Gets duped into joining a 2000 year old cult that claims a dead middle-eastern jewish carpenter is your lord and savior. Promises an afterlife of eternal happiness as long as you worship and love him without question.
Yeah, not blue pilled at all.
>>79467952
You've got a fucked up view about what you're talking about.
>>79462485
Buddhism, Shamanism, Paganism, Christian Mysticism and Philosophical Optimism
>>79467952
Not all gods are products of human frailty like the Christian one.
Shrekism is very based
>>79466075
