And what makes you think it's going to turn out any different from all the other times?
I've often wondered if a religion could ever be devised solely for the purpose of getting people to treat each other better. All the religions I'm aware of put most of their emphasis on worshiping some diety and/or accepting some unverified story of historical events. Those things are meaningless when it come to how we treat each other and often encourages tribalism.
I think a religious belief similar to Hindu reincarnation could work. A belief of reincarnation that doesn't involve punishment or reward, but instead, when you die, you simply are reborn as someone else. And not in a linear time line either. You could become someone that lived in the past or distant future. Only thing that could be "known" (believed) is that we are all the same "spirit", and we will eventually live every life that has ever existed. If you believe that you will eventually be the person you are interacting with, then you will probably treat them better than if you didn't believe that.
Dude, you pretty much just reinvented Buddhism. XD
Karma isn't a punishment, but school, teaching us to evolve, and exists in Judaism. That's why people thought John the Baptist and Jesus were Moses and Elijah.
My memory is rusty, but I think it was dropped from cannon during one of the Nicean Councils, which politicized everything to make the Roman Empire the Holy Roman Empire, Constantine its leader, "ordained by God," and the Church became the Roman Catholic (universal) Church, as sects disagreed on the teachings of Jesus and what they meant. Some books got dropped, but are available online (even YouTube) as the Ethiopian Bible (in English, even) and the first and second books of Adam and Eve. We don't yet know if any more existed and are still in existence, today. I'm not sure, but it seems like the books of Adam and Eve were so disintegrated, they were x-rayed to be read and translated. I'm not sure if those books were written in Aramaic or Ge'ez.
Doesn't karma use punishments and rewards as teaching tools? Bad behavior will get you reincarnated as some lowly creature (punishment), and the ultimate goal is to reach nirvana (reward).
Getting held back at school or enrolled in a remedial or special ed program isn't punishment. The lessons haven't been learned, or objectives not achieved, so intervention is required, as I understand it. Also some schools of thought are that we choose our lessons before we are born, but I'm hazy on which sects or if that's universal.
How about this time we start by teaching about this deity's life between ages 11-30.
so much masturbation

- No bigotry or oppressive rhetoric.
All misogyny, racism, antisemitism, LGBTQ+phobia, etc. will result in removal and a permanent ban. This includes commenting that LGBTQ¢+ love or relationships are sinful. Be aware that using “Pharisee” as a negative slur is considered anti-Semitic.
1b. Side B folks are welcome, but follow Rule 1. If you are a Side B Christian, please respect Rule 1 above, but know that you belong here and we want you to participate.
- Do not promote oppressive/harmful ideology.
This includes all attempts to promote or normalise hate, shame, or fear within Christianity (e.g. purity culture, scaremongering against gender-transitioning, “complementarianism’”, or “demonic” attacks).
- No sectarianism.
Legitimate criticism of other Christians/ faiths is allowed but refrain from prejudice against entire denominations/groups, and against other religions (e.g. Islamophobia).
- No disparaging Christianity
This is primarily a supportive space for anyone who identifies as Christian. While everyone is welcome to participate we ask that no one disparages Christianity.
- Be respectful and polite.
No personal attacks or accusations, harassment, misrepresentation of others, or insults. This also includes forcing debate, gatekeeping, and denying the validity of another's faith.
- Don't be a troll or a jerk.
Don't concern troll, play devil's advocate, or pretend to be confused when you really just want to start a debate. This Rule will be interpreted at the moderators’ discretion.
- No spamming or proselytizing
Don't post here if you're mass posting to other Communities. Don't post here for self-promotion unless it's particularly relevant to this subreddit. This is not your soapbox, and we are not here for you to preach at us. If you want to promote your media please ask permission from the mods.
- Be sensitive about linking to triggering N~ content.
Because we want this space to be as safe as possible, we discourage posting images or links to oppressive rhetoric from others. However, we do understand that venting is important sometimes. If you must post something potentially triggering, mark it nsfw or use spoiler tags, and censor any identifying information.
- Discussion of the ongoing israeli-Palestinian conflict is temporarily prohibited.
This topic has proven to be too divisive to discuss without consistently violating this subreddit’s rules. In order to maintain peace and to continue supporting one another, content regarding the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict is not permitted at this time.
