Question: Would Hedonism be considered a religion?
I've been a self-proclaimed lover of all things healthily [is that a word?] pleasurable since I was in my mid twenties. I certainly don't knock "traditional" religions, but I believe in enjoying life for what it is. Swinger parties would be my "drug" addiction, though I've had to give it up since making a commitment to my fiance of whom I'm about to marry.
I'm very much into multicultural/racially diverse environments, and find beauty in almost all things. My fiance is not a church-going Christian, so there's no real conflict in the house. I suppose this question stems from open conversations with people who see my way of thinking as anti-God and/or perverse. I don't drink or use drugs, but I have no problem with others - as long as it's consentual. I'm vegetarian because I don't believe in killing other life forms for food.
I don't know, I just get stumped when someone ask's me what my religion is. I don't feel as if I'm Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, etc. Are there any other Hedonists out there? Or do you know any??
