Answer 1

Celtic Reconstructionist (pagan), for more info: http://paganachd.com/faq/index.html
My major theological beliefs were instilled in me before I can remember yet there isn't anyone in my family who believed the same that I did. I continue to honor my deities in ways that are always changing yet they are still the same. The changes that I've made through the years have been steady but small. I'm still learning and growing. I am very happy with my relationships with my deities and the religion that I use to honor them.

Answer 2

I considder myself Agnostic. That means I don't believe anything just on faith, or without some kind of tangible proof. Least of all God. I used to consder myself an Atheist, but I realized there was an element of narrow mindedness to such a strict belief, just as there is with most religions. God may very well exist- perhaps in a form different from what most religions believe- but there may well have been some sort of powerful being interacting with the primitive cultures of our world. Perhaps he's lost interest and gone on to find another developing society to nurture. Perhaps he's still up there, watching, and yet involving himself with our lives less. Do I believe in Hell ? No. Do I allow outdated dogmas and doctrines created by powerful men in the name of the God they worshipped to govern my life ? No. But, I do keep an open mind to the possibility that something is out there... and when I have proof, I'll believe it.

Answer 3

I'm an Agnostic. I'm very scientific minded and I've searched high and low (yes, the world over) to find real factual proof that a higher being truly exists. I haven't found it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I still question. I've personally observed that human beings create heaven or hell right here on earth depening on their reactions to situations and/or to others.
Situations such as natural disasters are nothing more than the earth just doing what it does...change. We're living creatures just caught in the middle of that change and because our psyche desperately wants explaination for everything, we simply try to explain these situations as 'acts of god'. We're not that important in the grand scheme of nature. If anything, we're a hindrance. We're just important to ourselves because we WANT to believe that we're important. What makes humans more important that dogs or cats or ants? Nothing. One dog to another is very important. One cat to another is very important. But dogs couldn't care less what humans do. They're part of nature. Why should the earth care if we settle in New Orleans or San Francisco or the North Pole. It doesn't. It just goes about its business. But humans are 'cursed' with the 'gift' of thought which makes us just self-righteous enough to think we're 'top-dogs' and therefore worthy enough to live in eternity forever. I just doubt very highly if it's all true and if it isn't, big deal. There isn't a lot any of us can do about it anyhow so have a happy life, try not to hurt anything in the world and try to die old in a warm bed.

Answer 4

I am LDS. I was taught as a child the Mormon religion and as I became a teenager/older, I wanted to find out for myself if it was true. I always thought it was, but I really wanted to KNOW. I studied, prayed, fasted, and received many answers that I was searching for. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only true and living church on the earth today. We have the fulness of the gospel, which was restored to the earth through divine inspiration and direction from our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to Joseph Smith. I know it in my heart and mind that the teachings are true and if we follow them, we can be together forever with our families and our Heavenly Father and Christ.

Answer 5

I believe in God but not in any religion. God is everything and nothing all at once. Follow your heart and intuition for it is God speaking to you. Dont do bad to other because Karma will repay you. Mind your own business, do not judge people and live and let live unless you are in any harm or someone else. Then you can act accordingly. Try to be as happy as you can and deal with problems as best as you can. Do not take things personal and help whenever someone is in need without expectations. It is your duty in this world.

Answer 6

I am a Christian. I believe Jesus is God and the Son of God. I believe in His awesome power, His Salvation His awesome love for us and I also believe He is very patent with me!

I believe the what I do based on God's word. Taken at surface value , it can seem inconsistent.

If you are in school and don't understand the subject, you get help from the teacher. The one that teaches that particular subject and understands it. That's what I do with the Bible. If there is something I don't uderstand I get help.(And there is TONS of things I don't understand) I think we all need to do this to better understand our own beliefs and faith. How can we teach others if we do not know ourselves?

Answer 7

I am a Christian that believes in the Bible that was inspired by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

I believe that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered, died, and was buried. I believe He rose again on the third day and ascended into Heaven after leaving with his disciples in the upper room the Holy Spirit.

I believe Jesus is the Son of the Living God, Begotten of the Heavenly Father, One with the Father and the Holy Spirit, the Triune God. I believe he will come again in Glory to judge the living and the dead; that those who are Children of God will be raptured before the Tribulation and meet Jesus in the air.

I believe that all who Accept, Believe, and Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives are "born again" and receive the Holy Spirit to teach, instruct, guide, and protect them while they grow in their faith and in their daily walk with God.

I believe God keeps all His promises---even those of destruction and punishment for the world. I know there is no other name under Heaven by which one can be saved, but Jesus Christ.

I know, that I know, that I know Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life everlasting.

I know, that I know, that I know---that when Christianity is once again illegal in the world, that I want nothing more than there to be enough evidence in my life to convict me to death.

In Jesus Name, and for His sake----AMEN

Answer 8

My religion is Biblical Christianity as best I can make it out. I believe for many reasons, not the least is which is the fact that hundreds of people died for their belief in an objective fact who were also witnesses to that fact (the resurrection of Christ), and that objective fact is the whole basis of the religion (i.e. if it wasn't true there would have been no reason to martyer themselves).

Answer 9

i don't have a religion.....i don't believe in your definition of God, Heaven, Hell or Satan.


that however does not make me a sad, or lonely person...as some ppl would imply. i am a very happy, and lucky wife and mother! i respect your choice to be Christian...or anyone else's choice to be what they will, all i ask is the respect to be Non-religious. and perhaps the understanding that...not everyone does or will have a religion, just because you do. i suppose the correct term would be spiritual preference. *too deep i suppose* so...*POOF* I'm gone.

peace!

Answer 10

I am an initiated witch in the NROOGD Tradition. I practice witchcraft because it is the only religion that has given me answers, shows that it practices what it preaches (an it harm none, do what ye will). I was Catholic, then Lutheran; neither by choice and I was unhappy. I am now very spiritually happy. Christianity was not for me, and was to hypocritical in its teachings, not to mention unbalanced. (just personal opinion)
