Youism is an idea with the belief that each individual has the right to pick and choose what ever belief that makes sense to them and which will allow them to live a life of peace and happiness. You can pick and choose different aspects of other religions to create your own. The only requirement is that what you choose to believe must lead you to do good in life and not intentionally cause harm to others. The Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" will be your way of life. What ever it is you believe, it is your own religion. No one has the right to force you into believing what they believe in as long as you are already leading a peaceful happy life. This goes the other way around as well. Instead of trying to make the whole world fall under one religion, Youism seeks to create billions of different religions, each one unique to each individual. Life is about choices. If your current beliefs is a burden, let it go. Choose something that will give you happiness. If God works for you, then believe in Him with all your heart. If evolution works for you, great. If Xenu works for you, then.. um..well, you are one of the most open-minded person on this planet.. more power to you. Also know that life is about change. The same beliefs that work for you now might not work for you at a different stage in your life. It's okay to drop some beliefs/ideas and adopt new ones. Remember, the ultimate goal is happiness. Why the name Youism? Because it's about letting those around you believe what they want to believe and still accept them and love them and see them as equals in spiritual importance. As long as they're living a happy peaceful life and they do good unto others, that's all that matters. No one is right or wrong. Don't try to "prove" others wrong and you right. Many religions out there, from what I see, is about "ME". It's about "I am right, you are wrong". It doesn't even matter if the other person's belief gives them peace and happiness. Youism is about respecting other people's beliefs. It's about accepting the idea that there's no right religion. It is however okay to help unhappy people find a path to happiness. If you happen to agree with this "Youism", just add "ism" behind your name, this is your own personal religion/belief, not mine, not anyones, but yours. It's really "Your Name-ism", but Youism sounds less lame. Maybe when we start focusing on others by focusing on ourselves and our actions and how it will effect others and on what makes us happy and to simply do more of it, instead of forcing others to believe in what we believe and what we think will make them happy, there will be less wars and violence in this world. (Now that is what is called a RUN-ON sentence) "Love Life, Do Good, Live Well" - K.N.
