Answer 1

in your own eyes - as many as u want.
Does it matter??

Answer 2

You cannot be all religions. To "be" a follower of a religion, you must believe at least some of their basic principles. Some of the principles of some religions are incompatible with other religions.

Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God?

YES?
If you do, then you are a Christian. That is the basic underlying thing that makes one a Christian. But you cannot be Jewish...they believe Jesus was just a man and that the Messiah is still to come. They believe that Jesus was a blasphemer and liar and sinner. If you follow Islam, the idea that Jesus was God is also contrary to their core beliefs. It is written in the Koran that Jesus was not the Son of God.

NO?
If you do not believe Jesus was the Son of God, then by definition, you are not a Christian. The definition of Christianity is one who worships Christ and believes that Jesus was the Son of God.

You can claim to have whatever label you want, and try to wear them all, but just because you call yourself something doesn't make you so.

Answer 3

You go girl, you can call yourself whatever you want. That is just fine with me because after all words only mean what meaning we give them. Anybody who would chose to argue with you is only a Pharisee of semantics. I am positive you can be an adherent from all religions, from a certain perspective that is.

But from a fundamentalist perspective you cannot be all religions as most fundamentalists have an exclusive oriented theology.

I appreciate your spirit and wish you only the best on your ever continuing and spiritual journey.

Answer 4

Hey tia lion

don't get uptight babe

If 10 people were asked about a painting on the wall, you'll get 10 views about it

But for you yourself, what do you think of the painting?
so it's your view, your opinion, your beliefs and you'll strongly uphold what you're believing coz for that moment, it is true as what you thought until you grew up and discover something new,you'll want to make a change-or you rather remain ignorant and that'll be a loss or be lost

so we're always a changing that's good but always be rooted to righteousness, use all the god given common senses and not the least, keep praying,hoping for guidance coz this'll make us less aggressive and more humble/modest to mankind/living things as to put things in a more amicable ways

hence your views,your opinions,your beliefs is in fact your religion
Chill out babe -You are your own true self

Answer 5

It's impossible to believe the teachings of all religions. If you believe the Christian church, the Muslim church, and the Jewish church, you will have to believe that there is only one God.
If you believe the teaching of the Hindu church, you must believe that there are many Gods. You can't believe both.
There is no use in getting into other points because you're stopped right there.

Answer 6

There is truth to be found in all religions and philosophies. Why limit the learning? And why label ourselves in our search?

I like to consider it a work in progress.

Answer 7

you can be more then one reLigion, but it depends on which reLigions you choose. some reLigions, Like Christianity excLude others, Like Islam. You cannot be every reLigion.

Answer 8

Well if you are Christian you should not be ashamed of God's name - Jesus Christ. If you are Christian you should say you are Christian to set a good example for others.

Answer 9

tia, you can have any belief that you want. however i don't know how you can be all religions because many of them conflict with one another... which would mean you would be believing in conflicting thoughts. oh boy...

Answer 10

This will make you laugh, there's a religion for that! LOL Its called B'hai. (Not sure if I spelled it right)

Answer 11

you can choose - and it's good to shop around -- but if you don't choose one definite path after you've shopped around, you won't find a way out of the fog of uncertainty.
