I don't have religion... instead I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and measure all things against His standard for living, not against what mankind or tradition says....

The absence of organized faith, I believe and worship on my own, that way the only person I hurt is myself. I hate it when people proselytize, I say live and let live. I think to have faith is a wonderful thing for an individual, but large groups of people united for a cause are one of the most destructive forces on Earth. I have the courage and fortitude to have a personal relationship with God without the crippling restraints of organized religion. Believe as you wish and allow me the same, is all that I ask.

I'm highly spiritual, and spend most waking moments contemplating God, the universe, and divine love. I'm not religious. When people start organizing and telling each other what to think, the real Truth gets lost, and people start thinking their group is better than other groups.

Religions are there to spoon-feed you beliefs if you can't figure things out for yourself. They're divisive, and mostly counter-productive. Seek the truth for yourself. Read what you are led to read. Hear what you are led to hear. Become a seeker, and you won't need religion, which always boils down to someone else telling you what to think or believe.

First of all I dont consider my faith a religion. Religion is just a lot of rules that people have put together to follow thinking if they follow the rules they will make it to heaven.
I am Pentecostal. I didnt choose it.. God choose it for me when I was saved/born again.

I'm a Deist. Basically a Deist believes that there is a God (Be it an individual or collective consciousness, etc) - But we don't pretend to be able to understand what it is. We also don't believe that "it" has had any demonstrative contact with us.

I became a Deist because believing in ancient mythology like Christianity requires having blind faith and not questioning things. I'm not an Atheist because everything is too mind-blowingly perfect to be by "Accident". In my opinion Christians and Atheists are equally ignorant.

Catholic because that is what my family raised me to be and not only that I truly believe in my religion and am comfortable with it. I also like their traditions and the way they have lock ins and how fun they are and how much it helps and shows you about life. I really do like my Religion and I also follow my heritage. Every one generation of my family has been Catholic and I will not be the one breaking the chain.

Religion is dangerous, confusing and a great tool of the devil! It allows people to interject their own opinion and desires and prejudices and call it spirituality, while "twisting the scriptures to their own destruction". (making it seem to mean what it doesn't really mean.)

However, spirituality is totally different. "Putting your will on a higher plane" is having no opinion at all. This is Christianity and "few will ever find it." The New Testament has a meaning of it's own - open your mind and find it.

I have created my own religion.
It's basically a collection of boneyard concepts I have assembled into something that helps me make sense of the chaotic world I touched upon through a series of death/near death experiences.
Turns out most if not all of the rules we live by day to day just break down in the face of infinity... While our lives feel like sustained periods of learning and activity, in truth we are all but a flash in the pan. 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 years can and will occur in an instant...They say your life flashes before your eyes before you die - wull ya - that's just what happens when you finally realize that your lifetime was but a smudge perpendicular to the infinite timeline.
Me, I'll buy spirits, for they are the ones who chose me to die and rise again. I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of jesus in the whole debacle, but I won't rule it out. I'm certainly no bible guy, and definitely not a subscriber to the notion of an all-powerful, all loving but remarkeably vengeful and frequently petty 'god', but I do believe there are powerful souls who lived in the past...and continue to exist because the combined power of many minds sustains them. Christ is certainly one of them - but then again, so is George Washington, Sidhartha Guatema (buddha) and Charles Lindburg...
Powerful spirits roam our world, and they make contact with those individuals who require it...
