Islam
Islam is your Birthright
Mankind and the universe were not created by accident or chance, but according to the plan of the Creator, who is known as Allah (lit.: the one God) in Islam. The Qur'an states that it is the duty of all individuals to learn about Allah and to live according to His will. As we cannot accomplish this be ourselves, Allah has sent messengers and prophets to guide humanity All of these chosen individuals have brought the same message and have served as examples to their people of how Allah desires all human beings to live. Through these selected people, we have been told why mankind was created, what will happen to us after death, and what Allah expects of us. But most importantly, we have been told that Allah is unique-He has no partners, no sons or daughters, and no competitors, as so many other man-made religious systems have postulated. This message always remains the same, whereas the laws laid down for a particular might show some slight differences.
Muhammad, the last of Allah's prophets, was sent to present Allah's revelation in its final form and for the last time. This was necessary because the message delivered by the previous prophets and messengers had been corrupted or distorted by their followers. They had been mixed with philosophical speculations, superstitions, myths, and neglect. Therefore, Islam is not a new religion-it is a restatement of the original religion of Allah in its purest form and is designed to provide humanity with the uncorrupted message of Allah.
Islam is an Arabic word that denotes submission and obedience to Allah. It also means "peace," for it brings peace of mind as well as peace on the individual and the social levels.

Im a new age pagan. I worship/adore/work with several ancient Germanic gods and goddesses. I remember things from my childhood that make my current religious practice make sense. I once devoted myself to the old lady of the moon before I even knew anything about Her. I just seemed to know that the moon was connected to an olde lady who could protect/nuture people. I also try to apply the teachings of the Buddha to my life. His wisdom helps me daily. Even though I am on good terms with my dieties, I know that I have to be the one who does the bulk of the work on myself that I need. I am not perfect and must improve myself. My gods and goddesses help me, but aren't going to do everything for me.

I was raised Christian, and still am one. Though I do try to find my own way sometimes. In all, I try to maintain the right balance of faith, obedience, and free will.

Catholicism and I chose to follow it. I continue to choose to. It feeds my soul and helps me live my life. It is what I believe.
