Answer 1

Some sites that might help you:

http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html - a pretty decent quiz that you may want to take first, because it will ask you about your current beliefs and give you an idea of what religious paths those beliefs are best in sync with already. That may give you a place to start researching.

http://www.religioustolerance.org - ReligiousTolerance.org, with information on just about every world religion you can name.

Personally, I'd take the quiz on BeliefNet, and take the results to ReligiousTolerance to learn more about them.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Well, I'm a Christian (Lutheran, to be more precise) and Ilike it. Basically, I believe that Jesus was born unto the Virgin Mary, preached to his disciples and thousands of Israelites, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, etc. I'm also a believer in Theistic Evolution (wiki that if you don't know what it means). Holidays... Pretty much all of the standard Christian holidays (or at least all the major ones). Now, what exactly are your beliefs? Yes, you're obviously an agnostic, but what are your personal beliefs. As someone before me posted, use beliefnet.com if you want at least some idea about what you are.

Answer 3

I don't think you should believe in anything purely because you want to. I just thought I'd make that clear.

My religion is a mix of lots of things. I agree with a lot of the teachings of Buddhism, also Pantheism (my favourite) and just plain Optimism, especially in relation to science.

Holidays - I celebrate Christmas, Halloween and Easter because these are family times for me - my family is Christian. However, I try to feel spiritual generally at those times. I also love candles and incense, so these are always around my room! I practice philosophy and do a lot of thinking about important questions, because that helps me to grow spiritually. I also appreciate nature, because we are part of it and everything (in my opinion) is interconnected, and one through the energy in everything (according to the Big Bang theory, the world was created out of pure energy.)

I appreciate all religious scripture, though generally (with exception to Buddhism) only take the morals from them, rather than believing them as literally true.

I am unsure of what I believe in the afterlife - possibly Quantum Consciousness, which holds that quantum particles from the brain could possibly exist independant of the human body, therefore there would still be something of you remaining, conscious. Other than that, the Circle of Life! There is something peaceful (though scary) about returning to the earth.

Good luck finding your beliefs,
and please, don't take a mainstream religion just because it's easy (unless it fits truly with your views.) Your own spirituality may be tougher to fashion, but it's well worth it.

Have a nice day :)

Answer 4

I'm a Pagan and I absolutely love it. We have eight holy days (holidays) a year and we also do ritual according to the cycles of the moon. We believe that nature is sacred and divine and that all beings are connected in an unseen web that doesn't end. We cast spells to try and get positive changes in our lives and we do chants and meditations and use mother nature's herbs to heal ourselves.

For more on Wicca and Paganism, you can visit http://www.witchvox.com/ and see if it's right for you.

If Christianity seems to feel right for you, then go for it. But I feel the need to tell you that you should choose a religion that speaks to you, to your heart. PLEASE don't buy into something solely because they tell you that you'll go to hell if you don't.

I think if you do some searching you're bound to find something you like. Best of luck to you!

Blessed be.

Answer 5

First off, you need to find 'fulfillment' from within yourself. That's a long road, so don't worry about it too much -- enjoy the trip.

Community is a good place to look for it. So is 'helping' other people, especially if you have fun with it. Some of my best experiences of community came in a soup kitchen. Now it's a group of people with learning disabilities.

What do you want from religion? A set of beliefs that you ascribe to? (Christianity is good for that.) To participate in a debate about living ethically that's been going on for 4 millenia? (Judaism.) Gorgeous liturgy and effective psychology? (Judaism.) Something that's going to rock your western mindset? (Buddhism.) And so on.

To find the religion that's right for you, you need to start exploring them. And yourself.

Answer 6

The RIGHT "religion" is not a religion; rather, a Faith ... Faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

Try reading the Gospel according to St. John

especially St. John 3 and St. John 10

especially St. John 3:16

Answer 7

i have never experienced what you have, but i had certain thaughts about my religion. my religion wasnt like other religions. we were like brothers hugging each other at our meetings asking questions wich filled me w/ doubt like, if god is almighty and filled with love? right? and the "priests'' answered me using the bible and some really deep reasoning. i also saw other religions and what they celebrated and i wanted that so i talked again to our "priests" and they used the same method to explain to me. this religion might not be the funnest or the easiest to be in but i feel happy fulfilling all my doubts. it's ok if you don't want to learn about us (especially about the rumors, wich are not true) but whatever y'knw. hp u pik yor own rlign:)

Answer 8

Universalist Unitarianism. We accept that there is dignity and divinity in all walks of life, but accept none as the absolute truth, but combined steps on the path.

I will ring your doorbell and run away!!!

Answer 9

you must decide in your heart which Religious Belief System is the correct one for you. GOD is to big to be in only one place. there are many paths and ways to reach ones destination as one can walk, ride a bike, a motorcycle, take a train, a plane, a taxi, a bus, etc. and get to their destination. no means are better than another as getting there is the important thing -- not how. the only basic differences in one Religion and another are the NAMES they refer to GOD along with the Rituals and Ceremonies performed to Honor, Worship, Praise, Adore, Thank, Pray and Petition, Etc. Etc.

Answer 10

Find the answers in the bible and as you learn more about the scriptures you will be able to compare that to what a paticular church or denomination believes or practices.
