Perhaps, my friends, a new religion is in order?
Current traditional religions are somewhat corrupted. People are too busy trying to spread their religion than actually follow it. Unfortunately, this results in bloodshed.
Plus, these religions were strung together not to suit today's society, but society many centuries ago. As human society has changed and moulded, principles have become useless and new principles have been needed.
Consequently, it is now I present to you:
Humanitarianism!!
As a humanitarian, you will be subject to:
- A cutting-edge balance between science and metaphysics.
- Modern-day principles.
- Mondays off.
- And so much more!!
Humanitarianism, as great as it is, is still under construction. Feel free to contribute any ideas or comments you have - let's build it together!

A penguin for every school-child!
But seriously, you're right, the old religions aren't up to date. We need a religion that is actually tolerant (even though some say they are, they aren't really). That and something that applies to every day life now.

OneEye - You're exactly right. Which is why humanitiarianism is for you!
I don't know why a new global religon hasn't been formed in so long. Perhaps because the other religions would censor it out!

Pretty good idea. But Humanity isn't a religion. It the way people do to one another. Otherwords, freewill. So saying that. Humanitarianism is in that too.

That is arguable. In a deeper respect, humanity is more than just a race, but a constantly changing society; an ideology. Is it not an ideology which is the base on which a religion is built?

The ability to practice certain aspects of various religions on persons personal choice would be a good idea also. The blanket cover of all religions in one would cut down on prejudice I think, also would get rid of pesky limitations.

Indeed. But then when you consider the borderline parameters and untold egos and inner insanitums of the current global religions, you will see that such 'pesky limitations', are infact contradictions of the religion's very principles, rolled into one. Religion is war.

Yes, I like wine.
I would like a king penguin. Emperor or macaroni would be cooler, but I'll take it.

His name is Ned.
He likes Baywatch.

OneEye, you have shown great initiative and worthyness in this religion, more so than anyone else. You are obviously a very keen humanitarian.
Thus, I hereby promote you to the position: "Head minister of penguin maintenance."
You are now a fully fledged, high ranking officer in this religion.

Yes!!! Penguin maintenance! Just what I always wanted...
The first 10 convertee's will get not only the penguin of their choice (only blue or king at the moment), but also they will get a years supply of penguin food! You heard right!
For the rest of you... I dunno, at least you get a penguin...

Oh, Socrates, so sorry, but this religion stresses forgiveness, so it's no big deal! Isn't this great, people?
