Agnostic. I'm open to all beliefs. I just don't buy any definitively - especially when preached with literal references to words written by man or when used to judge individuals as unnatural/inferior or when "believers" hold their own faith as superior to any other (yes, I consider atheism and strict evolutionaryism faiths, too).

I don't believe in a central figure because I'm a Muslim (born into it, not by choice) but Allah is just another name for God...I was brought up with Christianity around me-- on tv, at the stores, schools, etc.- and I've been wondering if I DO believe in God... I want to believe in Him so that I won't be hated or despised by my fellow classmates and peers but there's still another part that just wants to contradict everything, go against it all... there's just so much unknown stuff that my mind pushes it all out... it's all so overwhelming an mysterious.
However, I do believe that humans evolved from monkeys (I have no problem being considered a descendant of a monkey. They are highly intelligent beings.)... but I don't know how life began... probably never will... but, if I figured such a thing out, wouldn't life lose its magic? Yes, I think it will.
So, for once, I'm okay with not knowing.

I believe in the ancient Gods of Egypt. I have kept this faith all my life and through my family for time immemorial. I give homage to the Great Goddess, Isis, because she was the first Deity recognised on Earth and she continues to be worshipped to this very day. She is truly eternal. I quarrel with no other younger religion. My own worship life makes me very different but I accept that as part of the obligation I owe to the Gods. If even only one of us were left, the reality of the Other World would endure. Otherwise, we will all cross over on the boat, never to return.

Just so you know, God and Allah are the same being. They are two different words for the same deity.
And as an answer to your question, I am an Agnostic, so I don't believe any of us can say if there is a god or not. I don't believe any earthly religion has gotten it right yet.

I believe in God (= Allah - Allah is the Arabic word for God) because the love of God is central to who I am and the purpose of my life.

I believe there is only one God but people choose to call Him by different names. And if you think about people fighting over religion, its pretty dumb, because they are all believers, they just cant get the name straight on what to call him. To understand my point go back to mythology and look at the different cultures and their Gods. Zeus vs. Appollo vs. Thor .. My point being that back in the day when people worshipped different Gods and Goddess they all had different names but the same job. Goddess of love, Gods of war, etc

I am a mystic philosopher and spiritualist. I believe in a pantheist god and would consider myself Eclectic Pagan because it is open to new ways of understanding the universe and mysticism.

Pantheist. I think there is some type of superior force, but it is not a being, it is part of everything yet is still beyond everything. Othewise I believe in science and have an interest in mysticism.

I don't believe in God, but I don't not believe in God....does that make sense? I'm the kind of person who needs proof, and there isn't any either way.
