WTF is wrong with Atheism ?
Why have the Suicide Cult suggestions stopped?
Otoh, great suggestion. I've never heard of Ekhart Tolle before, but reading about his "teachings" reminded me of one of my favorite thinkers, Jiddu Krishnamurti. Sure enough, it turned out that Tolle himself has stated that Krishnamurti was a major influence.
otah thats sounds like a great idea...im not familiar with those books...but youve peaked my interest...if those books can help me make sense of all of this im looking forward to you being the high bidder.. i really doubt anyone else would give such an offer
I think you can't edit posts in "Auctions".
agree to read* (sry can't seem to be able to edit my post atm)
and i dont want to avoid reading...i dont want to read about every single religion...i will read and study whatever form of "bible" that wins... im ready to try and believe in anything if its going to make me understand my purpose on earth or an afterlife.
You said that you would be prepared to give this a 6 months trial, so here's my proposal - it isn't exactly a religion, more an alternative to them, hopefully leading to an awareness beyond what most religions have on their menus, it is that you will agree read 1 book per month, for 6 months, that I will buy second hand from eBay or somewhere & get mailed direct to an address where you can receive them at, I may add in up to 6 DVDs for you to watch also but haven't thought much about that as yet, the first 3 books (unless you've read them already) would most likely be:
Ekhart Tolle: The Power of Now & A New Earth
Rob Brezsny: Pronoia
My bid is 1.01010101 BTC (plus you can resell/gift the books etc.)
You still seem undecided. Let me increase my offer.
If you join Discordianism, I will not only not give you 0.2 BTC.
On my next weekend I will also do what ever I desire to do.

In fact, I consider this to be the healthiest, happiest, and safest choice of all. I pledge additional btc 0.2 to this cause, thereby raising the total to btc 0.4 + Akka doing whatever (s)he desires on the next weekend.

For some reason i cant edit my initial post.... but since i didnt realize there are such horrible people out there...i need to add these stipulations to my initial post NO BODY MUTILATION, NO SUICIDE, AND NO MANDATORY FEES. if i join your religion and there is a optional tithe or percent of income to donate to help the cause of religion that is acceptable. but no scams saying i need to pay you hundreds of btc a month/week
Sell your soul...
...what did you expect?

i appreciate all the responses.... but anything that is going to cost me a fee or commit suicide is disregarded and will not be considered.... and i have done a lot of reading on different religions i feel like the society in which you were raised has such a major part in what your convictions and beliefs of a religion are. Im ready to accept a higher power(or not considering which religion wins) and see if being spiritual to this religion will make me feel fulfilled and happy. and just to add to the discussion...if after accepting said religion and practicing for 6 months if i do not feel any connection or a sense of fulfillment i will return the bid to the winner.
0.333 btc for becoming an overpopulation preacher. You'll have to dedicate a minimum of 2 hours per week learning about over population and spreading awareness as effectively as you can.
Seeding your first assignment, Listen to this new series "Beyond 7 billion" http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/population/
then read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpopulation
and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOMWzjrRiBg&feature=player_detailpage#t=1085s (exponential economic growth Somehow Bitcoin related)

0,15 to read about Islam just reading i don't want you to convert for money
Sorry, but OP specifies that she wants to avoid reading. 
Bid 0.000002
Your new religion is Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
Your new religion is Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
The rewards for joining the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster go way beyond any "physical" wealth. An afterlife of beer volcanoes, stripper factories, and a total lack of dogma should be enough enticement. The CoFSM is also the only religion that offers a thirty day trial period - if you leave, you get your soul back, no questions asked. (Warning: the FSM also expects you to think for yourself.)
Just had to throw that golden apple in the room, didn't you. Well, OP, the good news is that you get a minimum of 0.2 btc regardless of the religion you choose.
I bid 0.1 btc.
Should this one true bid prevail, your religion shall be the one true religion, Emacs. St. IGNUcius shall be your prophet[1]. You shall get your scriptures from faith.el and religiously read them once a day. Your homepage shall be http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/religion/

Oh god, EMACS here too? Crap. I really wonder how many avatars are hiding massive neckbeards.
Anyway, for 0.2 btc I give you a choice: The Church of Eris or the The Church of subGenius. In effect your choices are get weird or get weirder.
I give you 0.2 BTC if you don't join url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism]The Church of Eris[/url.
Because we discordians must stick apart.

You got it all backwards. You are unsure, and you want someone to save you time and effort, therefore you should be the one paying for the service. You are essentially looking to outsource. It is amazing to see how many people fell for your twisted logic and offered to pay.
Now be a dear, and start again. Call for proposals. Place a payment in escrow. Announce the winner. Release the escrow, and start practicing. Right. I see the problem with my idea. You still need to decide. You want to avoid having to decide. Dammit!
Except that it would cost the OP, making that a negetive bid. My bid is the highest so far.
