I am asking because some countries will pay you to convert... not a million bucks but will pay something

[Ms_Facesitter]

That would be like serving the wrong God, Money. I don't think you can change because someone handed you money. I can go through the rituals to be recognized by the masses as one of them, but if my heart isn't behind it, does changing religion really mean... ANYTHING?

[Anonymous]

I'd do it. I don't have a religion right now. I'll take Christianism and do what Christians do and pick and choose what rules I will actually follow or not lol.

[BCA6010]

No, because that would be insincere and completely undermine the point of even following a religion. If one were to even entertain that offer, it would also expose them of being frauds who didn't truly believe in their religion anyway.

[normandi]

But some people have no religion at all

[BCA6010]

In which case they're simply profiteering and the question effectively becomes moot since there would be no reason not to, unless the new religion involved illegal activity. You asked to "change" religion, which implies following one in the first place.

[AngryCarl2]

For a million dollars I will practice as many religions as you care to nominate.

[normandi]

U r honest... not like the others

[AngryCarl2]

Update: I would convert for $1million but not for much less. And I'm not religious.

[normandi]

Fair enough

[Roxxy99]

I don’t believe in mythology but, if someone was offering that kind of money, I’d sure pretend to.

[normandi]

So religion to you is mythology

[Roxxy99]

Yes. Religion is mythology that many people put their faith in to explain their existence and feel better about their own mortality. It has some value for those purposes but all religions are man made stories…. God, Allah, Zeus, Odin, Ra, Buddha. You think all or any of these entities actually exist or existed?

[normandi]

Agree 100% one must difrenciate between God and religion

[AviatorTom]

Sure, I'd have no problem changing from one Christian denomination to another. Most Christian churches have the same basic beliefs, the major difference is how they are managed.

[amazingallegra1]

Absolutely not I would even think about it for all the money in the world!

[normandi]

Are you devout christian?

[amazingallegra1]

Yes sir

[normandi]

That explains

[amazingallegra1]

I would say most religious people would not want to lose there religion.

[normandi]

You mean I wouldn't think

[amazingallegra1]

Same difference lol

[Siri137]

Religious beliefs can't just be changed like that, like flicking a switch. It doesn't work that way.

[strateguy632]

i was offered an apartment home if i joined islam. but i did not even pretend to join.

[normandi]

Where is that? if I may ask

[Drumlin2001]

Yes. I'm atheist (brought up Catholic but never a believer). I'll pray to anyone for a chance of financial stability for my family.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Sure give me the money, i will change religions as fast as i can.

[Anonymous]

[genericname85]

what exactly would that mean? that i say "i'm a christian now"? yeah i'll do that for a million no problem.

[Juxtapose]

I am an atheist so I have nothing to lose by doing this.

[BCRanger10]

[Agape93]

Of course, I can tell a lie for a million
