Convince me to join your religion/philosophical belief/truth

[Rodion Romanovich]

Ok, here's the deal. I'm not member of any religion/philosophical belief/truth at the moment. I want to find a religion/belief/truth or similar that in my opinion is the best. So I want information from anyone wanting to convince me to join their religion. I'd appreciate it if also not very missionary religions/beliefs would answer these questions. Some beliefs I'd like to hear described are:

- Science, Rationalism (which is basically science + the axiom that rationality is always better than emotions), Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Satanism, Nihilism, Stoic belief, Humanism and so on.

0. Name of the religion (if it's more detailed than just the main religion, please include the name of the sect/community/securalized-fundamentalist scale status so I can differ different religions that go under the same main name from each other)
1. morality: what duties do a human have, if any? what rights do a human have, if any? What's the opinion about egoism?
2. nature: worship/hate/neutral/realize the importance of living in harmony with it
3. did a god create nature? how was everything created? any known story, or is the belief considering it to be unknown?
4. sex: sin or sacred act, or neither?
5. violence: justified never? justified in special cases? justified always? if justified in special cases, which cases, and why, and who decided when those special cases apply?
6. god: is there a major power behind everything? Does it require worship, respect or nothing in particular?
7. irrational rites: are there any rites being carried out without a majority of the followers of the belief knowing why it exists?
8. rational rites: are there any rites carried out for a logical reason (memory rites excluded), and which are they?
9. what are the main things you need to do/think/believe in etc. in order to be part of the religion. If any statements contradict each other, which are the major principles that are of highest priority when choosing between the to?
10. magic: can you prove any magic done by your god/belief/truth etc.?
11. prejudice/axioms: is the religion built in such a way, that there are certain facts/theorems/beliefs/statements that you'd never accept to be false, no matter how strong proof against it there would be?
12. is there an absolute truth? yes or no. If not, can morality still exist, and how do you explain the rationale behind that morality, if there's no absolute truth - i.e. how can you say a certain act is bad/good if there's no absolute truth? If an absolute truth does exist, how is it to be found, or is it found already and then what is it?
13. what is the goal in life, if any?
14. what is the ultimate goal of mankind, if any?
15. has your religion done you anything good apart from making you feel safe assured that you'll get a better life after death?
16. what is the religion's view of feelings and emotions? Are they evil and should be surpressed?
17. what is a human? Is it possible for a human to cease being a human by a certain set of actions?
18. if you have a holy book, do you consider it written by your god, or by humans acting through god?
19. what is your view on searching the truth? Good or bad? Is truth a sacred thing?
20. why choose your religion when there are so many others?
21. sins: is a sin only something included in a list of forbidden things to do, or are there any general principles that can determine, unambigiously, whether a certain act is a sin or not? Is it the act that is a sin, or does the situation determine if the act is allowed or forbidden?
22. religion's change over history: if your religion has changed over the years, how do you defend the changes? i.e. if the holy book was written by your god or based on truth, but the change has lead to a belief that is a contradiction (in one or more ways) to the original message?
23. will there be an apocalypse, and will it be caused by human sins or fortune's/god's will?
24. is the main reason why I should join the religion my own salvation? Will I be punished if I don't join your religion?
25. is worship of god praying to him for a better own life, sacrificing to his honor, or respecting him, or is it a neutral stance, or is it by trying to live up to the rules of the religion?
26. should your religion have missionaries, and if yes, how should the faith be spread? And what should be done to those not wanting to convert?
27. what is the opinion of lazyness? sin? neutral? good?
28. how can earth be evil and God good and allmighty?
29. will converting to the religion make my life, or the lives of any others, any better?
30. how do you convert to the religion?

Please keep this thread clean, I don't want it to be closed, so please don't bash each other's religions in a way that's above the "close thread limit".

NOTE! If I sound critical in any way, bear in mind that it's no bashing of religion, as I'm letting science and philosophy compete on equal terms with religion, given the same questions; thus, I'm similarly critical to philosophy and science, as I am to religion.
