Debate: Artificial religions

I propose an experiment that will allow people, no matter their religion, to participate in this conversation without prejudice against an individual or group of people.

The way that I believe this might be accomplished is as follows:

. No mention of actual existing religions
. Religions can instead be referred to as any particular colour on the rainbow
. No mention of actual real religious beliefs
. A particular religious belief can instead be referred to as a type of plant, tree or even any flora or fauna
. A particular colour's flora/fauna can be described as one of the many ways that flora/fauna can be changed when adding or subtracting a leaf, flower, seed, fruit or any part of the flora/fauna of the colour.

Colour = religion
Flora/fauna = belief
How the flora/fauna grows = description of belief


To get started, and participate, see the example at the very bottom of this page as the last comment.

    Nov 21 2012: Any religion is related to life, human life. I have no idea how your colors and flowers and grass relate to human life and relations or could help anything.

    Any color is fine with me although I might not wear pink or purple. It does seem that in order to live a healthy life, we need a sun. That's why, I think, flowers will (automatically?) turn towards the sun.

    There are flowers and then there is ivy..
