Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs

[i_like_black]

I selected "Undecided".

I was raised as a Baptist Christian, fell away, spent a while as a Presbyterian Christian, fell away, spent a while as a non-denomination Christian . . . fell away.

I have almost finished reading the Bible cover to cover. To quote Homer Simpson, "This book doesn't have any answers!".

I am currently interested in Buddhism (mainly because of things like mindfulness and meditation) and Catholicism (for its long history).

I don't know if there's a God or not. Most times I feel not. But I have been known to, at times, be entirely sure that there IS a God. So I guess I'm confused.

I am hesitant to call myself Agnostic, although some proof either way would be great.

So er . . . yup.

[Tigerlily.]

I'm not entirely sure to be honest, but at least as of right now, I identify as Pantheist, so I chose other since it's not an option.

[Castiel's Angel]

I chose Wiccan and Pagan for a few different reasons haha

[Crazycatlady]

I'm the majority--for once in my life. Hooray! Atheist pride

[ComplexImage]

I am born and raised in a Catholic family, but I'm more of a Humanist myself.

[Akeas]

Pagan(shaman with runes)

[Lumos.]

I have for sure decided i don't have a religion is just yet another label. but if i find a religion that i believe in, sure i'll label myself as that.

[Jack Lowden]

Not sure whether to say I'm a Christian or an Agnostic. Probably Agnostic at this point.

[Celtics12]

christain love it. made bad choices and want to fix them don't want ot live a happy life being haunted

[Kindred]

I believe there's a god- I just don't identify with any religion's beliefs. I would like to think there is a god, though

[Chuuya]

I'm a Catholic but there are some things I don't understand and disagree with...

[HisPrincess]

I'm a non denominational Christian and I'm proud of my faith.

[Breesmee]

Polytheism having faith in many gods/goddesses
slightily pagan and a little christian im a bit of a mix of stuff

[.:PrincessZelda:.]

I was raised as a Baptist Christian and now, I'm still a Baptist Christian.

[Jack Lowden]

Just realized I haven't updated this. I'm an Agnostic. I don't care to associate with any religions at this point.

[Amorphous.]

Muslim. Looooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeee Eid. That's whassup.

My position in this exactly.

[CanadaCraig]

Christian - Non-Religious

But don't assume what that means. I do NOT believe - as most Christians seem to believe - in a never ending 'Hell'. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." There is Heaven or DEATH! [Although getting DEAD might take some people longer than others!]

The Christian vote also said "non-denominational" so if you are catholic then you aren't non-denominational By being Catholic people already know you are Christian, me on the other hand isn't considered Christian by a lot of people because I say I'm Mormon haha Mormons are definitely Christians Look at the actual name of the church The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Also known as LDS so yes we are Christains I just thought I'd through that out there for those who didn't know

[EmNZ]

I’m officially Catholic and was brought up quite strictly Catholic, which sometimes I found a little harsh. :P
I believe religion causes a lot of pain for some people, and we’d all be better off if we stuck with good simple morals (= Don’t mean it in a bad way though because we’re all entitled to our own beliefs.

[joeblow9999]

I was raised in a Christian family and considered myself a Christian for years, but am now an atheist. Most of my friends are Christian or agnostic, and one is Muslim.

[Coffee.]

I never really stated my exact belief on here, and it has slightly evolved during the last year or so, so I'm updating.

I'm an atheist. I consider myself a spiritual atheist or a secular humanist, something of this realm. I do not believe in any gods, deities, or anything supernatural. However, I believe in power within humans, and our connection with the Earth and everything on it. Going on a hike is like going to church for me, I can feel power within myself and everything around me. (These beliefs probably stem from my hippie parents, particularly my pagan/atheist mother. )

I used to also be very anti-theist, but this belief has changed as I have made more Christian friends. At this point, I believe religion needs a good makeover. I think we need to be more accepting of others, and use religion as a way to bring people together rather than tear people apart.

[shikari]

I was raised Catholic but now I consider myself an atheist as I don't see how it is possible for a "higher power" to truly exist.

Agreed, my views are pretty similar to yours...I've found mine are best categorized as anthropocentric secular humanism. I think that organized religion is ultimately more destructive and divisive to humanity than it is beneficial. I'm not so much anti-theist as anti religion.

[Beautiful Disaster]

Christian.

[BlueWolf]

Naturalistic Pagan

[Heartlines]

Ermm. It's kinda' hard to put me in a category, Religion wise. I kind of take beliefs from Paganism, Islam and Christianity and make my own religion?

[Agony]

Pretty sure I'm Agnostic I: if I told my family that..lets just say a big argument would occur

[Katelina]

Atheist, sorry I just can't put my faith in something I cant see. Can't touch, feel, smell...etc.

Its like sayin the sky is green, which I can physically prove that the sky is a mixture of all colors but blue appears because when sunlight hits it the blue is not absorbed in the spectrum of colors light has. It bounces off and therefore we have a blue looking sky.

I cannot for the life of me put my faith in something no one can prove.

And yet my parents accept my choice, they are all die hard Christians. But they will not force me to go to church, they will not force a religion on me. So I hope no one else's parents are either, because if they can't accept you for who you are then they are out of place.

[Cap's girl]

I'm a Christian Which does NOT mean that I'm better than you, I judge you or I hate you....I'm just like you, but I'm saved by grace amazing

[kiuncci]

I'm Christian Catholic, but I would be more likely to use Christian. For I know that without CHRIST I Am Nothing. Nothing can change that regardless of races // religions ..or any related to that as long as I have faith in God who strengthens me to face these trials in life. ;p

[Doodle.]

Before I didn't know whether to call myself an Agnostic or Atheist. The more I've been thinking about it the more I believe I am an Atheist.

[blurryface]

I put undecided because I don't really know all the right terms. I'm open to anything; I'm going to Christian church later on today, and going to a dance at a Mormon church next Saturday. I was a Christian for a while, simply because my mom made me, but after finding so many things in the Bible that I disagree with, I am no longer Christian. It's not my place to say whether or not there is a God, and where I will go after I die. I do, however, believe in heaven and an afterlife, but what it holds for us: we on earth don't know.

[Pyromania]

I'm an atheist, basically. I won't elaborate on why as I'd rather not turn this thread into a flame zone.

[Validity]

I am Pentecostal Christian in other words it means Modern Day. We're the ones with the rocking music. And most times in church we're laughing right from start to finish.

The lead youth pastor whom is leaving soon once was on stage talking about (can't remember too long ago) but I remember this, he was doing this random dance saying this is how "white people dance" he's white as well, he was swaying, continually moving his feet, sticking out his bottom lip and it was just soooooo freaking funny. Another time we had my youth pastor on stage and he fell off stage (on purpose, to show how easy it is to fall into a trap) hahahaha.
Jay.

[Jack Lowden]

At this point, I don't believe in anything. However, I'm open to the idea of something greater than us out there, so I relate more with agnosticism than atheism.

[~Divergent~]

I have both Atheist and Agnostic family members, so until about a year ago I considered myself definitely Agnostic. But after everything that's happened in the last couple years, I'm really not sure what I believe in anymore. I guess I've desperately needed a reason for the bad things that have happened, and a reason to think that everything will work out okay...so right now, I kind of consider myself neither Christian nor Agnostic, but somewhere in between.

[Thereishope]

I put Undecided...not really sure what I believe but I don't have a problem with any of the religions of my friends...as long as none are forcefully shoved down my throat that is :P

[blurryface]

Sigh... at this point I'm not sure.
