Many times I have been asked what is my faith, in which I say nothing, and everthing. I find myself to be an atheist, someone who believes there is no god, And I also find myself to be a christian because I do believe there was a man named jesus who was a messenger. I often get called a witch or a mystic because I believe in the mystery and the magic of the universe, in which allows me to be more open to the struggles of others. I see myself as a pagan because I also feel that in the solitude of nature I hear god's voice, and I reply. I believe in Karma, and the manifestation of our own world with actions. I believe in metaphysics and how the body is no more than energy made up by molecules, and functions on chemicals. The point I am trying to make is that I see a little bit of myself in everyone, and I feel that in order to better know myself and god it is through the experiences of this realm that involves adversity from other people.
Is is not to hard to fathom that this is what

was meant when the words Thou Shall Not Judge came to be known. IS it because all of us are pieces of each other connected. And in order to find heaven(a place where people shall be united) Is it not in the higher conciousness of our minds, and spirits opposed to some big cloud in the sky.
I know what I am saying sounds green, but just what if. Just what if we are meant to be all, and nothing the spiiritaul void together. Just wondering your thoughts
I wish you well

Yes black acre you are absolutely right. It maybe just speculation, but it is what warms my heart, and allows me to feel the hearts of others. I wish you well. OH and thanks for the generous comment you made about my future book .

katie if what you say is true then your implying that jesus wasnt a man or a messenger, although there has been many references made from christians that he was a man with the message of god because he was god. Now I say to you think about it. How would god know the heart of a man and his suffering, unless he too suffered with the flesh of man. And how would jesus know the heart of a god, unless he was one. All I am implying is that
what I believe does not make a seperation between god and man but only unites them.

It sounds interesting and deep. Thanks for sharing it! It's not hard to fathom at all. It's about as good as anything else out there. And it isn't accusatory or exclusive.

In the end, the only answer can come from within yourself. The explorations you put forth into the individual religions of the world, your exposure to those who practice and preach these religions, and your own, personal convictions into what you think is right.
In the end, however, I must caution you against taking the tone of others too much to heart in regards to their beliefs overall. The greatest offense I have ever suffered was at the hands of an Atheist, but one of my greater friends was one as well. Overall, it is more my vastly negative experiences with such people rather than my honest research and feelings about the belief that leads to my conclusiosn of it, and and in the end it is a poor way to judge a belief system.

I believe you are a child of the new renaissance and at this precise moment you are in heaven! This place, that time and nature have so graciously bestowed upon us is really great, blue sky, trees, oceans, furry animals, and some good people too. Most deeply religious individuals sell out the beauty of this life for the hope of extending their meager,mundane, boring, and hate filled lives into an eternity, as the wonder of their existence passes them by in the blink of an eye. Enjoy, life is beautiful!

Wow! I don't think of you as a witch or a mystic.It sounds like you are very insightful. You know if you think you hear GOD's voice, chances are He is trying to get to you, listen.There is an abundence of magic and mystery everywhere.I stand in awe of it sometimes when life stops being too busy for just a sec.I don't think I can give you any words of wisdom except to say it sounds like you are already on the right track.Good luck to you in your quest.

Being open minded is a great thing! You need to believe in what makes most sense to you personally. Oh, unless its Catholicism, because that makes no sense at all.

i myself am a born again christian....i would like to respond on you calling Jesus a messenger..... Jesus is the Son of God... He is and was not (when he came as a man to earth) a messenger... He came to earth to die for the sins of man... 100% Man and 100% God its hard to exlpain...when He died on the cross all of your sin all of my sin and the sins of every living creature were placed upon Him...He died and rose from the grave...and is alive today....i completely understand if you don't believe this...i in the past was just like you.... i believed and told everyone i didn't have a religion..in fact i didn't know what i believed or where my faith was...now its like i can't believe i didn't see it before i didn't see how much God loves me and everyone out there i just wish everyone knew and understood...i pray that someday before its too late that you will believe in Jesus and what He did for you on the cross...:-)

I think you are confused by what you believe in.
It sounds more along the lines of quantum physics and metaphysics.
