I'd be a Buddhist, coz I get the impression it's not a high stress religion :)
-
A Buddhist. They are much closer to the truth of the divine than the Abrahamic religions are. Even Einstein knew that.
-
Having been a Taoist for so long, my people traditionally don't get along too well with Buddhists, so that might be hard for me. There's things I like about Islam, though; I could be a Muslim - I just wouldn't be a very good one. Nor would I make the best Buddhist. I was forced to be a Christian for a long time, so that religion has left a bad taste in my mouth, although just like Islam, I could be down with Christianity without actually being a very good Christian. My agnostic nature both goes well with any of the options and also doesn't go well at all with any of them. I'd keep thinking what I think, regardless, so to me it'd just be another label.

Buddhist--most of them are atheist
-
well, im already a Christian and i refuse to change my faith so id have to stay with it.
-
I think it would be easier for me to latch onto Buddhism than the others. Although I would like to be a Christian, I don't think that I could. It would be too difficult to force myself to have the right beliefs.
-
A Buddhist.....peaceful, loving, inclusive,gentle, generous....profound.
-
Buddhism seems to be the only religion with a true respect for life, apart from Jainism, that is. But Buddhism also lacks a deity, which is a good thing from my point of view.
-
I would become a Buddhist, because Buddhism is more concerned with developing the indiviual than with disproven mythology.
-
I know enough about all of the above to respectfully decline.
-
The one that is true.
-
I feel a lot closer to Buddhism than the other faiths. I have a load of books which I worked my way through to see if it was me. Ultimately it wasn't something I could believe in 100% (no God, which sits very well with me but slightly too metaphysical still) but as a code for life - I think it is spot on.
-
I'd choose Buddhism since it's more of a lifestyle than a religion.
-
I already chose. I chose the one that says God thinks those people that the rest of the world calls trash are precious and worth dying for. I chose the one that says God forgives even those who have done heinous things, if they are willing to open their hearts and let Him change them. I chose the one that says God can make a righteous and happy woman of a prostitute, a righteous and happy man of a tax collector (read extortionist and knee cap breaker). I chose the one that says God wants us to love our neighbor, even the neighbors we are prejudiced against , as we love ourselves. The word Samaritan was to the Jews what the N-bomb is to us, a fact that wasn't lost on the author of the Cotton Patch Gospels. For those who don't like organized religion, Jesus wasn't real big on it either. He took the Pharisees and Sadducees to task far more often than he did anyone else.

Had to? Muslim. Where else do guys never have to own up to responsibility, especially when it comes to sex?
-
Buddhism
-
Buddhism.
-
None of them. I'd convert to Judaism if they'd have me.
-
I would totally go with the Bood.
-
I'll go with the one that doesn't actually require me to believe in warmongering deities.
-
I would and have become a Christian. Only Jesus Christ is not among the other dead religious leaders. He is the only One who rose from the dead. All the other religious leaders tell and show people how to live good lives to reach God. It was only Jesus Christ who came down as the Son of God and paid the penalty for our sin debt. "Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory thru our Lord Jesus Christ."
