Which religion would give me meaning?

[Weebster]

Judaism and Christianity aren't options. I've done my research. They're falsifiable.

Probably none, especially if you're on this site.

I guess you're right

Organised religions are all fake, and brainwashing tools. If you want to find spirituality, go within yourself and find the truth there.

I'm personally a fan of yogic philosophy. I also do enjoy reading the stories of Hindu gods and goddesses oh, not that you have to believe in them but their stories are relatable

Which book has their stories?

Which book has their stories?

There are many. I personally enjoy the yoga sutras of patanjali. But there are other books. One is simply entitled Hindu gods and goddesses. I personally enjoyed the stories of Shiva, Parvati, and Kali. Parvati and Kali are the same. An interesting triangle.

Which book has their stories?

I should add that the yoga sutras of patanjali are just yogic philosophy as I said before. As far as Hindu gods and goddesses go you just got to read about them either through books written about them or you could easily just Wikipedia that s***. But I do like the triangle happening between Shiva, Kali and Parvati. Kali is an avatar Parvati and so cool their story between the three of them.

I actually did find my own in Christianity, but I also respect that others have different systems and it is neither my place to condemn, judge, hate, etc. nor is is appropriate for me to "preach" at you based on the question.

However, the question suggests you are still seeking, and I believe there is an answer for you. I'd encourage you to consider continuing that search so that you can make a fully informed decision. Thanks, I wish you the best on the path you choose.

Buddhism I think would suit most people on this forum.

The main teachings of the Buddha are the 4 noble Truths.

1st Noble Truth is "Life Is Suffering

2nd Noble Truth is The cause of Suffering is Craving

3rd Noble Truth is There is a way out of Suffering

4th Noble Truth is The 8 fold Path is the way out of Suffering

The 8 Fold Path comprises of

Right View
Right Intention
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Livelihood
Right Effort
Right Concentration
Right Mindfulness

Its by far the most logical religion that I have ever come across.

You don't need to believe in anything, but rather to practice it instead and find out for yourself if it works or not

How do you follow the eightfold path? How do you get rid of desire and attachment?

 

[JamieJambo]

The whole of the Buddhist life is built for overcoming craving. There are many ways, practicing meditation, Practicing Ethics and generosity is another, also practicing and developing wisdom would be another tenet

As for practicing the Eightfold path, if you read up on it, you will get a better answer.

This book is a very good start for learning about Buddhism
