lol
Actually, and this is a bit hard for me to say here, I am a Jehovah's Witness.
Yes, I am one of those guys who come knocking at your door to tell you about the Kingdom of Heaven. But I know that I also belong here becuase I need to learn more about the sexula nature that I have.
I'm a hindu,and seem to be in a minority here,though the world has more of us than it can comfortably handle! lol
I thought I had replied to this, but I guess not.
I'm pagan. Of a rather dark variety. It tends to encourage the BDSM rather than anything else.
my father is catholic and my mum is church of England so we three kids we're not Christened..which was a big deal for others when l was growing up . l was actually stopped from being my best friend's first borns godmother because l hadn't been christened. All of us were free to chose whatever religion we wished...my sister headed towards catholocism for a few years , while my brother and l headed towards pagan...where l stayed .
l found for me personally , that it just felt "right"...l found l identified with a lot of the ideologies and practices . l have some inate abilities that don't "fit" into any organised religion...in fact a couple of hundred years ago they would have had me burnt at the stake ( as apparently l was in a past life )...l have had too many uncanny experiences in life to not be a believer.....tho l prefer to talk to the universe and it's energies for guidance...l guess you could call that talking to the Gods..
interestingly , my bloke is a lapsed catholic who is quite at home with my belief system....he's studied many religions and philosophies and finds mine the most humane and accepting..the only issue that may raise its head is having our kids christened.....l have no problem if they are baptised catholic..as long as there is some type of pagan rite performed as well and they kids are allowed to follow their own religious path , whatever that may be
sorry about the long thread...l do tent to ramble on sometimes :-)
unless i missed someone, im the first muslim to be posting on this topic.
not that religious, but i do agree with most (not all) stuff about islam, meaning i have never had even a sip of alchohol, or eat pork, but not restrictive on sexuality because i don't know how its harmful to a society.
just to let you all know that the main goal in a muslim life is not to blow themselves up, somehow or the other though, a lot of idiots have made it into a monster religion that resembles something of the stone age.
I'm an atheist, although I like anti-theist just because it is outrrrrrrrrrrrageous!
I am officially banning me from the religion topics. If it is possible to do so officially you may want to do so. I tend to say things like religions are primitive explanations of things not explainable by known science and comfort for those afraid of death.
:dont: <---that's for me
i was raised Lutheran but don't go now to any church...i don't need a church to believe
I read the three pages of this thread and this answer from StillBehindBlueEyes is the closest fit to what I believe in. :)Quote:

I was raised in a not very religious household. I went to church with my Granny when I was little. I don't attend regularly any more, but I'd like to start. I'm a christian, and I believe I float more on the baptist side of the equation.
not an atheist, and only somewhat an agnostic....mix in a bit of Buddhist philosophies and a whole lot of reality and knowledge about people (street smarts) and you get me.
Frankly I live in the here and now...to be completely honest I never have been able to picture myself as "old" or "older". My future is blank when I think about it. I've always had this odd feeling I'll not live very long, not suicidal just a weird feeling that I'm not going to live to be 50 or 60 or whatever. Turning 20 this year is a shock to me....I was shocked I made it to 18, let alone 19.
I have been raised in a Missionary Baptist church and have continued my beliefs in adulthood. I have read everyone's post and see how some can think that churchgoers are hypocrits. But I feel that we are all in the same boat. Just because I go to church and believe in God does not mean that I am perfect, nor that I try to be. I worship Him and do my best to live my life the way He wants. Not because I am afraid of hell; but because I feel that it is right. That is all that matters, right? I also think it's really cool that everyone can believe so differently and still get along.
I was raised an atheist,and find organised religion quite horrifying, but i'm still not sure what I indivdually believe. I like to think there is something better than this, but maybe more in hope than actual expectation. I like the idea of Karma but whether I believe it I'm not certain... so um agnostic?
LOL
