Good idea if it works for you, I'm confused on the 6 men/women thing though.

I too am somewhat of a Beatlemaniac. A Hard Day's Night topped the charts on my birthday.
- Beatlemaniac:
- I am the proud founder of Beatlemania. It is, as the name suggests, worship of The Beatles. It is reminiscent of that one episode in Family Guy when Peter started that church worshipping Fonzie, you may think, but in actuality The Beatles have much more value to their worship than the Fonz could ever wish for. On the high holy days, the birth and death days of the Holy John Lennon and George Harrison, we Beatlemaniacs wear black pants and the traditional black Beatles logo tee. We also refuse to eat meat on these days. If any Beatlemaniacs have the pleasure of sharing a birthday with some significant event in Beatles history (for example, my birthday is on the exact release date of the single "Hello Goodbye"), we must celebrate with a Beatles cake, Beatles decorations, and Beatles attire, and in addition we must sing the Beatles song "Birthday" over the traditional "Happy Birthday" song. Any birthday parties held must be Beatles themed.
Sorry. I just had to. xD
In all honesty, if I had to pick one religion, I'd be a Buddhist. But truth be told, I believe in some of the values and practices of many religions, not just one, and in a way I kind of just mix them all into one religion that is specific to my wants and needs.
The same could be said of pre-existing religions, too. :)

- Just because you create it, doesn't mean it's real.
I completely understand that. I don't know about every single religion, but what I do know is that the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) is that they have a basis in which their religion is based off of (the Torah, Bible, and Quran) that simply makes more sense than saying 'Oprah Winfrey is God, anything she says is true because I love her and she's the wisest that the world has ever seen' sort of ideology.

It may make more sense,however, could possibly not be real.

What is reality to one person, may not be reality to another. There are people who believe that 'truth is only in the eye of the beholder'. Everybody's reality differs slightly. Who knows, everything we see may be a figment of our imaginations and might not really exist at all.

Ditto (:
- Alex; periphery.:
- I don't have my own religion per se, but I have my own set of beliefs. I just call that... my beliefs.
I think this explanation is pretty darn perfect.
- kafka.:
- With religion, it's like determinism. We believe in causality, but is there a cause to this causality? Everything in our universe has a cause and an effect (or so we believe), but we don't have an actual explanation for this phenomenon. It just happens, it's just what we like to believe in. Likewise, gravity, for example, is almost undoubtedly not caused by humans, however the laws that explain and dictate the way gravity works have obviously been written by humans. God is gravity and Holy Scriptures are the laws, they're not always accurate, but we don't doubt the existence of gravity because Newton's laws were inaccurate or simply because they were written by human beings not gravity itself.
I wouldn't say that's true; I challenge anyone to come up with serviceable evidence in favour of Scientology, and yet that's a pretty fast-growing religion.
- to die.:
- There's evidence to every religion out there, otherwise, why would anyone believe it?
Do people really believe that? I thought it was created to mock religion. Not bashing, I'm just curious.
- for dru's sins.:
- @ Alex; periphery.
Or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
