Context:
Myself and my 3 kids are constantly 'bombarded' with ideologies on men, women, men-vs-woman, NT, ND, religion vs atheism/agnosticism, ... If not via social media or classical media, it's our colleagues, friends and family ...
This is slowly driving me bonkers!
The human race needs to STOP thinking in labels. we are all in this boat called life together! stop demonizing or glorifying. Privately admire or resent, yes, perfect; none of us can escape that biological part of us. But please stop having that define our actions or discourse. 
As such and with a comical twist I proudly present to you my/our? new religion:
The Question
-A Religion for the Curious-
Core Tenet
The Sacred Inquiry:
Every assertion, complaint, or desire is met with the gentle but powerful question:
“In comparison to what?”
Scriptures
The Book of Contexts
The Scroll of Relativity
The Hymns of Gratitude
Practices
Daily Reflection:
Before reacting to joy or suffering, pause and ask: “In comparison to what?”
Gratitude Rituals:
Contemplate the miracle of existence itself. We could have not existed, but here we are!
Compassion Exercises:
Recognize that everyone’s joys and struggles are relative—each person’s “comparison” is unique.
Priesthood
No hierarchy, only questioners.
The highest title: “Grand Inquisitor of Perspective.” Only given to those who have shown the world in a practical manner new ways or improved way to be humbly alive.
Holidays
Existence Day:
Annual celebration of the sheer fact that we are here.
The Festival of Possibilities:
A day to imagine all the other ways things could have been, and to marvel at this particular reality.
Central Prayer
“Thank you for this moment. In comparison to what? To nothingness, to other lives, to other worlds—this is what we have, and it is enough.”
Philosophical Underpinning
• Relativity of Experience:
Suffering, joy, and meaning are always relative to something else. By questioning our comparisons, we gain humility, understanding, and awe.
• Gratitude for Being:
The mere fact of existence is a source of wonder. We could have not been, but we are.
Motto
“Perspective is the path. Gratitude is the goal.”
Why 'our' Religion Might Change the World
It disarms complaints and envy:
By always asking “In comparison to what?” we become aware of our hidden assumptions and learn to appreciate what we have.
It deepens compassion:
Understanding that everyone’s suffering and joy are relative helps us connect with others more deeply.
It cultivates awe:
Existence itself becomes a miracle, not to be taken for granted.
