    Judaism is accepting of other religons and proselatizing is against Judaism(which would make me a hypocrite right now, but I'm just answering your question). Several of Jewish prayers are about peace, love, tolerance, and understanding. Also if you feel like there are so many rules and laws to folow, you don't have to follow every single one to the letter. You can be as liberal as you want about it. Dunno if its what your looking for, but it works for me.

    ive come to the conclusion that yes god wants peace and love and such however people in our society deter religions and add to them or even take away . now religion can be strict and in some religions have ridiculous rules. mormons(my parents are mormon) cannot drink coffee or tea. i just stick to what i believe. i know this doesnt help much but i hope you figure out the religion that best suits you :)

    My friend, what you describe is the antithesis of religion. Religion is about fear, hate and seperation. Don't look for a system that promotes those ideals. Just practice them yourself. No rules or guidelines needed.

    Only you can make Peace, Love, and Tolerance for yourself and your own life. Relying on others to make your reality come true doesn't work well because it develops co-dependancy

    Well, not really a system, exactly. A system is used to make others follow the rules. If it's just you, you don't need a system. Just do what feels right. You don't need religion or any kind of belief system. Just beliefs.

    yeah man totally, i think of it like this i have consciousness, and i should be able to have perception of the world in my OWN way, as for everyone else. one thing ive learned it that people complaining about life is just dumb, i mean yeah there is suffering but for natural shit you know, all the other stuff is just us being dumb.

    Absolutely. We need more people thinking like you do. Don't let anyone else dictate your sense of reality. That's everyone's own right. Most people are having their reality fed to them from the moment they enter school.

    if you believe in god you'll be no confused cuz all religions worship one god only and if it doesn't then its been rewritten throw many centuries like Bible and False Torah but Quran never been changed and i read atopic from atrusted site,islam about love ,tolerance,goodmanners,faithfullness and equality between man and woman,black and white,arab and berber,poor and rich,i studied europe's history and can tell you the whole story about religions from paganism till christianity and islam.

    Finding a religion isn't important; finding a spiritual practice is. Find a way to live a life that fits your moral code and stick to it. Remember that we are all interconnected, that love alone conquers hate. Forgiveness is the key to live a healthy life. Om mani padme hum!

    Peace and love

    Well, As Far As A Specific Religion, I Suggest Looking Into Gnostic Christianity, Although, With A Bit Of Research, There Really Are Many Other Alternatives Depending On Exactly What You Are Looking For~

    And where did you read that any religion has ever been about peace or equality? You can't trust information you get out of history books. You've gotta figure it out for yourself. Religion has never been about anything but hate, fear, and manipulation. Namely, using people's fears (which you've created) to manipulate them into hating each other, to satisfy your own ends. That is what religion is about in this world, and the elites would have a lot less control if people just stopped practising it.
