    The First Cause was not God.

    What's to say this force itself is not divine? Something does not require a physical form for it to be divine. What's to say this force itself isn't worthy of worship?

    What does your religion / philosophy say about medical marijuana?

    Shintoism, as far as I know, has no rules concerning Marijuana. However, I do know that we have traditions advising against creating potent and unpleasant smells through lighting things on fire. It's not necessarily a rule but its considered impolite, from what I heard, to create a potent smell...

    How Did You Decide Your Religion?

    I visited Japan during an exchange program and everytime my host family would take me to a shrine I would feel like a kid on Christmas morning. I loved taking part in the ceremonies and making offerings at the shrines. It was so great being immersed in a religion that way instead of just reading...

    Can someone help me find a religion?

    I agree with this. Maybe add Taoism to your list of religions to look into. Though, philosophical Taoism isn't really an 'organized religion' persay.

    What would a religion without professional clergy be like?

    Folk Shinto and certain smaller shines are completely community run. This is generally in the rural areas of Japan, far from the big city shrines and the affiliated shrines. So yes it's possible considering it already exists.

    what "(G)god" ever gave ALL credit to their God

    Shinto has something similar. There were forces in heaven/the universe responsible for the creation of the two deities which created the Earth (Izanami-no-mikoto and Izanagi-no-mikoto). These two created the Earth in accordance with rules provided by the divine in heaven. They asked the forces...

    League of legends

    I still play. I'm on the NA server but I've been away from the game for a while so I'm kind of bad now lol. If anybody else is on NA I'd be more than happy to play with them when I have time.

    What was last movie you watched?

    Guardians of the Galaxy. It was amazing, in my opinion. Humor was mixed enough to make everyone laugh, characters were enjoyable, decent story, and a good cast of actors. I recommend going to see it when you can.

    Pics of Your Religion!

    Jishu-jina. One of my favorite shrines that I visited. It is located in Kyoto near Kiyomizu-dera (a Buddhist temple). It is the shrine of matchmaking and love. It's such a cozy and welcoming shrine. However I think this picture best sums up Shinto. It is truly and utterly the reverence of...
