No, not at all. Actually, it makes you a broad-minded person who appreciates and respects other religious teachings unlike your own. If more people were like you, then we would have a better world to live in.

No hon. Not what so ever. I am a UU. I am partly on the Christan Part of the UU side. But i believe in Karma, Re-carnation. So much other stuff. That people think that i am NOT Christian at all. In fact. I Believe that some one Died for us. Just Like the Bible Says. So much other thing.I totally Believe the bible is right to a degree etc.
You have the right to believe what ever hon. That is why the one above gave us free will. You are NOT doing anything wrong. In fact who knows you maybe doing something right.
there is something to be said. That Use other religions to improve there faith. It is they want peace. Just what God the one above wants us to do. Thus if there are many like you may then Catholics and Buddhist people can join as friends. Thus maybe then one day a person that is part Baptist and Catholic will join withe people that ... Well, you get the idea.
So Hon you are NOT wrong.

Not at all. Peace & love. Find your zen. I'm a Catholic with Buddha statues in my bedroom. You are a spiritual being. Be open to various possibilities & ideas. Whether you choose to live as a Christian or as a Buddhist, you will be living a good life, as a moral person. How can that be wrong? Anyone who says different is closed-minded & silly.

Well why do you consider yourself a Catholic? It's a doctrine that rejects Buddhist thinking, so why don't you simply consider yourself spiritual? I think it's great to branch out and believe whatever you feel to be the truth. So why worry about labels..what good do they serve anyway?

No, it is not. Rather that means you're broad-minded and more well-informed than those who don't care. I sometime read the the New Testament (The Authorized or King James Version of 1611) for pure literary enjoyment on its great English translation done at Westmister (sic) under the Dean of Chester and at Oxford under the Dean of Christ Church, and finally a group of twelve scholars reviewed it all.

Of course not. Do you really think God (or Allah, or Buddha, or Elvis) expects us to all think, act, and live alike?
Christians in general tend to be self-righteous and believe any concept outside their little box of "reality" is wrong.
I can't imagine that a real god would be that discriminative.
Footnote: Spooky has it right!

Not at all, all religions have some unique and wonderful attributes that we may identify with that we do not find in our "home" religion.

No - a lot of ideas are perfectly compatible.
