Does clubbing two or more world-views/Religions with one depicts one is yet undecided?

I know this will surprise the heck out of you since you introduce threads with similar language all the time, but...... When you post in this section of the forum you don't get to limit who replies to it. Since all who desire to do so already have the right to respond, your invitation is unnecessary and meaningless.
You're going to have to restate the question, because it sounds pretty incomprehensible to me (and perhaps others).
"Clubbing" as in "hitting with a club" or as in "going to a night club"?
I'm against the first. The second might be a good time depending on the people involved.
Which two religions would you most like to go clubbing with? I think I'd pick Shinto and Sikhism.
Hmm... my best times at the bar have been on St. Patrick's Day, so probably Catholics. And a surprising number of my friends who know how to have a good time are Buddhist, so I'll have to go with them, too.
Heathens. They know how to party.

I'd go clubbing with Muslims. They go nuts: drink, party, approach girls like crazy. Then after a year or two they cut you off, grow a beard and become social recluses in their own communities, pointing fingers at their past as being under the influence of Shaytan.
I'd also go clubbing with Mormons. Same as above, except even more crazy. Then after a few years they cut out coffee. Who the hell cuts out coffee?!

Depends on the method; if you were to take all religions and try to make each fit into the same hole, then it would compromise each one's unique character..... (syncretism)
Yet if you respect each for being unique, and understand their characters (omnism); you can recognize matching character traits, that are describing the same thing.
Actually, upon reflection I think I'd go with Wicca and Judaism. Wicca will know how to party and Judaism will bring us down to earth a bit, but still be up for a drink. Shinto and Sikhism would've been one of those trippy nights.
Unless Judaism being an old religion means it's also an old man on a night out. In which case Shinto, you're back in!

Sorry to everybody for my bad English.
I meant subscribing to two or more world-views/religions together at a time that depicts one is yet undecided or one is in doubt which one to select from them.
Sorry again, please.
Is it possible to change the topic of the thread accordingly? Please
Regards
Don't think too much of it. Languages are considerable challenges. We all should understand and respect that.
So, by my understanding you mean to ask what I might word as "Does adherence to two or more world views or religions at the same time indicate a difficulty in choosing between them?"
That is of course something that happens. But perhaps not very often, nor always very significantly.
There is a wide variety of religions and world views out there. A lot of those are not mutually exclusive. Quite a few do in fact expect their adherents to "pick and choose", so to speak.
I would even dare to say that most worthwhile world views benefit from having active participants that either alternate or reconcile teachings from various sources.
It definitely is. As thread creator, it is your decision what it should be changed to. You may tell the staff here or in the Site Feedback area, however you please.
I think, that in general, subscribing to two similar religions simultaneously wouldn't be much of a problem. The differences could be rather minor, even petty. But when trying to subscribe to two very contradicting views simultaneously, only confusion can occur. It would be like being pulled apart by opposing forces. I feel for people in that situation. An example is children born into a mixed marriage of intolerant faiths.

For instance Zoroastrianism believe in one G-d and paganism believe in many gods. If one has two of these at one time, that only shows that one has not a clear concept of both, yet.
