I'm a Buddhist. Buddhists don't believe in the Lord Buddha per se this is the wrong way to describe our devotion, but do pray to the Lord Buddha for guidance to follow the Way. The Lord Buddha is not a God to me but a guide to the Path. The Lord Buddha was a man who was able to attain enlightenment through following the Path to enlightenment. My goal is to also find enlightenment by following in the Lord Buddha's footsteps. I do not hate other Faiths and have great respect for other's beliefs. We do not try to convert others to Buddhism because this would cause suffering to others. My purpose on earth is to work through my Karma and attain enlightenment to release myself from worldly pain and suffering and to help others to find the path if they are willing to. This is only part of what I am, and if I fail it is because of what I say and do and it is I who must improve me.
We have a guide like Jesus and Mohammed (Peace be upon him) our guide is the Lord Buddha
We have commandments like yours, ours are the 7 Noble Precepts
We have a place like your heaven, only ours is Nirvana and there are 7 levels each reached through attaining enlightenment to the stage where rebirth is no longer necessary. We do not believe in reincarnation, it is a different concept. You've perhaps heard of the 7th heaven?
Similar to your Faiths or Religious Dogma, such as the Virgin Birth and the Infallability of the Word of the Pope, we have the Noble Truths, such as the Noble Truth of All Life is suffering.
This is part of me as a person.

Not in a religion, but if I was to be called anything I would be called a Gnostic, alchemist and studier of Esoteric elements of things.
Jesus is cool, Buddha is cool, and God.. well I don't believe in a God made in the form of a man, which is what religion propagates and that is a creation in the mind of man from literalsim and fundamentalism. But that is just my opinion.

This question gets asked so often, I'm going to put my answer in my profile.
I'm an eclectic Wiccan, and have been for about 14 years (as of 2006).

I beleive in God , and that Jesus Christ is my savoir. I've completey given my life to Him, and will one day see Him in Heaven.
For a man who beleives in God and is going to Heaven, life on Earth is the closest thing to hell they'll ever expience. But for a man who's going to hell, life on Earth is the closest thing to Heaven they'll ever expience.
Make sense?

i believe according to the bible there is really one true God, that name was given to moses to give to Pharaoh, since Egyptians like many other nations worshiped several gods in their religions, all of them knew the Hebrew God, YHWH, or Jehovah or Yahweh. So there is only one true God.
