What religion do you wish is true?

I want to know as, despite this forum's atheism, I'm sure at least someone here has speculated on which religion would have the best outcome and reward if it was real. I personally despise abrahamic religions, as their reward is ultimately ambiguous or dull compared to others. I also find Jainism bad as there's a scenario in which you can get stuck in a level of hell forever, and your actions in this life are ultimately just to stop reincarnation anyways.

I think I'd go with either Mormonism, as the promise of eventual godhood from getting into the highest tiers of the celestial kingdom is just too good to pass up. However, for my second choice, I'd go with Hinduism, as a continual cycle of reincarnation sounds interesting.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Norse myth is pretty cool. I would have said greek because they seemed to have an open idea of same sex bonking. But then they also have a lot of incest to, so nah.

Wiccan sounds fun.  I keep having fantasies of people running around a bonfire naked, but they probably don't do that.  Actually, from what I've read about it, it's just more woo, requiring paraphernalia like special knives for harvesting herbs and such in the moonlight.

Nah, forget it.  Too much fiddle farting around, and I know I'd get bored with it.

Evolution is probably the slowest biological process on planet earth, the only one that comes close is the understanding of it by creationists.

Humm. I think I like Odin, Thor, Loki and Freya a lot. So Viking Mythology could be the true one for me.

I love this.  I'd die to be able to see my furry children again!  Much better promise that any religion I can think of.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

No religion.  All of them I can think of come with barbs of some sort--usually, many.  I'll take it the way it is.

How can you be sure my refusal to agree with your claim a symptom of my ignorance and not yours?
