Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 

While my family is basically all either Catholic or Lutherine (depending on which side of the family you talk to) and going to a Catholic school for nine years I am a pagan. It's usually hard to explain to others because a lot of people around me are fairly religious as well as having the small town narrow mindedness of there's no such thing as pagans anymore which is of course rediculous...

I'm pretty sure i'm atheist. I used to be Christian then i was agnostic but we're studying the whole debate in school at the moment and apparently i'm a negative atheist because i don't believe in God but i accept the possiblity that i could be wrong :p

I was born into a family of Latter Day Saints (aka Mormons, a type of Christianity). However, I do not subscribe to all of their beliefs. This quote captures my feelings on the topic perfectly:

“God is love. I don’t think He cares about religion one little bit. Live your life right. Love with all your heart. Don’t hurt others, and help those in need. That’s all you need to know. And don’t worry about Heaven. If it exists, you’ll be welcome.”
- Ellen Hopkins, Burned

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 

I choose other. I classify myself as 'Independent'. I just simply study world religions and take what morals and ideas I like from other religions and form it all into my own independent religion. I do not try to change peoples beliefs since I don't want people to bother me about mine. I will say no more. :)

Catholic. And I'm surprised how many Catholics there are on here :) and if anybody has questions about us (I've known lots of people who think we worship statues and other stuff thats no true) then feel free to PM me.

I'm a weak atheist but I hate that term. Lol. Weak atheism, for those who don't know, is when you don't believe in God but you don't say got doesn't exist. God might exist, how would I know???? I don't believe but I don't bash others. I also have some Buddhist beliefs. I just like the way they look at life and happiness.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 

I said "atheist" and "other" because I do not believe in a God or higher power in the traditional sense (as it never really made sense to me), but I do believe that in a way the concepts of peace, love, and friendship ARE higher powers because they are, for all intents and purposes, essentially out of our capability of understanding. I mean...we know what they ARE, but the bond that they create is almost indescribable in a sense. So in a way, I suppose you could say that my deities are the concepts of peace, love, and friendship.

I am Jewish. I was raised in a Jewish home, that practices the Jewish customs and I was sent to a Jewish day school for all of grade school. I may be very lost in life right now, but what I do know is, thanks to my Jewish youth group, is what my Jewish identity is and where I stand in the Jewish community.

I, like allot on this site, which I'm slowly seeing more and more in my life, am an Atheist. I've seen allot of wrong in my life, more wrong then I'll ever see right. I was born into a catholic home, Went to church as a kid and was baptized/received communion/confirmation, But sense then my personal beliefs have changed. I have very strong beliefs against the catholic religion now, but would never try taking someone from their own personal beliefs.

This question isn't primarily directed at you, but Because you happened to post about it... How would one, in the states I suppose, Explore religions such as this? I have much interest in religion, but nothing has been more real then Atheism to me so far. I have a very open mind when it comes to anything aside from christianity. And Middle Eastern/Asian Religions Interest me allot to learn about, I just don't know anyone. I could read, but allot of times reading about a religion opens up more confusion to me because I obtain so many questions!

I selected Atheist and Agnostic. I have no idea who created the first substance of DNA or organic materials, is it fusion of elements in black matter/space? What is it?
Yet I don't believe in a deity. (God, Allah, Spirits)

If anything, I am closer to the Atheist side, however.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 

I'm a Christian and I do not really have a set denomination. I like being nondenominational.
I also have noticed that parents forcing religion does nothing positive for their children, it just makes them fall away from the religion. If I were a parent, I would let my child have the choice to attend or not attend church because forcing something on someone is never a good thing no matter the good that is intended.
