While vacationing recently in the college town of Boulder, Colorado, I came across a Wheel's O' Wisdom called "Choose Your Religion, a Guide for the Savvy Convert."
Not completely tongue-in-cheek, the wheel presents thumbnail characteristics (description; accessories and paraphenalia; potential new friends; afterlife promises; perks; and drawbacks) of the following 30 religions (links to Wikipedia articles):
- Atheism
- Baha'i
- Buddhism
- Catholicism
- Confucianism
- Consumerism
- Islam
- Hindu
- Hare Krishna
- Jehovah's Witness
- Judaism
- Kabbalah
- Moonies
- Mormonism
- Pentacostal
- Protestant
- Psychoanalysis
- Quaker
- Rastafarianism
- Scientology
- Shamanism
- Shintoism
- Sikhism
- Snake Handlers
- Spiritism
- Sufism
- Taoism
- Unitarian Universalism
- Voodoo
- Wicca
As I examined with the wheel and saw the comparisions and contrasts presented, it struck me that these various beliefs may change one's decision-making process, depending on which one a person "chooses." Hence my question.
Feel free to direct our attention to other religions as well.
Thanks in advance for your participation.
John
