what religion are you?

Question

so what religion do you all follow (if any) and what made you choose this particular religion?

Answer 1

Celtic Reconstructionism (neo-pagan)
I like the methods it gives me to have a deeper relationship with my deities and I agree with the values upheld.

Answer 2

I'm a Muslim! Well at first i didn't exactly "choose" it. I guess i just became it because of my parents. My dad is and was always a Muslim. And my mom converted to Islam from Christianity.

But recently I've been trying to get insights to other religions, and decided that Islam is the most truthful and correct. And that parts of the New Testament are correct too. Apart from the whole concept of Jesus (peace be upon him) being "god".

Thank you so much God for making me a Muslim!

Answer 3

I follow the ways of my Ancestors. I am Mixed Blood so I am Apache Traditionalist and a Traditional "Witch" of European Decent (with strong leanings toward Druidism.)

I don't put too much faith in any one's scripture because it always ends up getting corrupted or taken out of context. But, it's good for study and can help one understand things better. Some say a well red person is a well educated person. But most importantly is to listen to God; Pay Attention.

I believe God is always talking to us no matter who we are and all you need to do is pay attention and you will hear God. And be careful not to confuse God's will with your own will. To many do that and that is why there is so much fighting over religion.

Answer 4

I do no know anyone who has chosen his/her religion. Most of us are taught to believe and indoctrinated in our childhood to follow certain religion which is invariably that of the parent's or of the guardian's.
Personally, I have ceased to be a believer since I was 12 and do not follow any religion.

Answer 5

I am a Baptist, and was born into the church. My grandparents brought me to church after I was born. I have been to many other churches such as Methodist, missionary, catholic, church of Christ, Pentecostal. I have been to many others, but religion wont get me into heaven. Only a personnel relationship with Jesus Christ. Our pastor preaches the Word of God straight from the Bible. He don't bring in fancy things from the world to get people in. He preaches the old fashion way and he is only 42. I am thankful for God sending him to us. He has been here 10 years. He encourage us to read our Bible, and since then I have learned so much more. We need people to read their Bible more and know the truth. So many people take the Word of all Pastors, and never search out the scriptures. Take care, and God bless in your search.

Answer 6

I am free of religion. I have no beliefs other than a belief that there is no God. I have large amounts of evidence that all of the stories written about any God are false.

I chose not to follow because I hate false hope, lies, and irrational thought patterns.

Answer 7

Assemblies of God. Because I could feel God's presence in the service. I was introduced to a personal relationship with Jesus. I had been in church all my life and had not had a personal relationship with the Savior before that. Now, the A/G church is NOT the way to Heaven, JESUS is the way to Heaven. In my life the A/G church the way to Jesus. I believe you can worship in other churches and go to Heaven. God looks on the heart.

Answer 8

the Christian religion with a few of my own additions of Native American Ancient Ways added in order to enhance the various expierences i need for my personal journey through this plane of existance.

Answer 9

there are SO many religions out there... and it gets so confusing. i go to a holiness methodist church (let's just say i married into it) but my whole life was raised as a baptist. i don't really like to affiliate myself with a particular religion... rather, when someone asks, i tell them what kind of church i go to but i point out that i'm neither methodist, nor baptist, nor freewill, etc... but a CHRISTIAN. for me, that takes care of it.

Answer 10

I was born a sixth generation Universalist, now Unitarian Universalist after the merger of the Unitarian and Universalist churches in the 60's. I stay with my faith because of our core principles and purposes.

From the website http://uua.org

We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote

* The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
* Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
* Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
* A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
* The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
* The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
* Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

The living tradition which we share draws from many sources:

* Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
* Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
* Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
* Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
* Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
* Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising to one another our mutual trust and support.
