You can take any belief system and adopt it to fit what you want it to. (BDSM included.) You can interpret anything to fit your desires. You can make "God" have whatever values you do. You can edit it any way you want. You can ignore any part you want. You can add any part you want.
If you want a religion, just make the one you want. You can believe whatever you like. If you want to be a Christian into BDSM, just make it so God has values that are more compatiable with BDSM and ignore things that are against it. You want God to be female? Bam! She's having holy periods of wrath on sinners every fourth week of the month. You want to be special? Bam! God listens to you when you talk to her and you can interpret little things in life to be what she's saying back to you, or listen to her as a voice in your head; just look out on that fourth week!
Most people tend to start from a template, typically their notion of a "mainstream religion", then editting it to suit them.
Agreed.
I don't know why the op is even concerned. If this one isn't a good fit I'm sure you will stumble across a new one,in the not so distant future, that is a tad bit "snugger." ...Then as you age and get closer to death, you will probably lock on to the one "true religion" and become a fervent believer, thumbing your holier than though nose at others, as you start to cram for your final exam....It's what we do.
Congratulations!!...You have taken your first steps towards a life of full of righteousness and hypocrisy....Enjoy the trip.
I must ask, how do you know I have not faced death before? Your narrow minded view prevents you from even thinking there are other possibilities. I'm sorry, but I do not think you are the authority on all subjects as you apparently do.
Please!....How narrowminded is the person that cannot even begin to grasp a world in which God does not even exist or whatever existance is not manifested with tremendous interaction between God and the "petty little humans?"
You want to change religions what difference does it really make? Curious Lord is dead on. You are inevitably going to take what you feel is relevant to yourself from whatever religion you choose to adopt and dump the rest that is not comforting or that you which you consider to be "nonsensical."

That's what I'm saying! You can believe in whatever you like! Anyone can!
And as much as I may think it's stupid, I was trying to tell the OP that he can have any religion he wants, that his options aren't limited by what people tell him are the pre-set religions of what's right and wrong.
So by asking people what religion they have found that melds with their interests is moot. Some believe Noah constructed an ark...Others believe that adultery and fornication is cool as long as you are a "good person." It doesn't really matter, every person out here who believes in an "ism" has had to marginalize or modify the written word of their religion to make it apply to their own lives. It's what we do...
Yes I have looked death square in the eyes.....She's hot. I have found that others when they begin to lean on the door where death might come a knockin' begin to believe...The final exam is coming. Like I said it's no big deal. It's expected. Whatever your reasons are for finding any religion are your own... Judiasm is much more guilt free than Christianity. With Judiasm you at least have the upper hand in that you can point at the silly little Christians and laugh at them for following the teachings of a mere mortal who said he was the son of God.
