I follow Islam,
There is One God, and he sent messengers to all different people, but some people changed the message, so God sent his final messenger Muhammad, who brought the Qu'ran, a guidance for all mankind.

If you believe in God alone, and do righteous good deeds with a good intention and seek forgiveness for your sins, then you can get into Heaven.

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful



[002.001] Alif-Lâm-Mîm.

[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân and none but God (Alone) knows their meanings.]

002.002] This is the Book (the Qur'ân), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqûn [the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism who fear God much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love God much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].

[002.003] Who believe in the Ghaib and perform As-Salât (the prayers), and spend out of what We have provided for them [i.e. give Zakât (obligatory charity), spend on themselves, their parents, their children, their wives, and also give charity to the poor and work in God's Cause].

[002.004] And who believe in that (the Qur'ân and the Sunnah) which has been sent down (revealed) to you (Muhammad [Peace be Upon Him]) and in that which was sent down before you [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injîl (Gospel)] and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter. (Resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell).

[002.005] They are on (true) guidance from their Lord, and they are the successful.

I have listed some information for you. And included the sources listed below. Check the sources out, hope it helps.

Christian, the word "Christian" comes from the Greek word christianos which is derived from the word christos, or Christ, which means "anointed one." A Christian, then, is someone who is a follower of Christ. The first use of the word "Christian" in the Bible is found in Acts 11:26, "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." It is found only twice more in Acts 26:28 and 1 Pet. 4:16. However, it is important to note that it is the true Christ that makes someone a Christian, not the Mormon one (brother of the devil), or the JW one (Michael the Archangel), the New Age Jesus (a man in tune with the divine Christ Consciousness), etc. The true Christ is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; 20:28; Col. 2:9; Phil. 2:5-8; Heb. 1:8): Jesus.

Rather than post a long message detailing my personal beliefs, I will say that I am Wiccan. If you would like more info on Wicca from a reliable source, you can visit the following website: http://www.cog.org/wicca/faq.html

this site offers a brief FAQ about Wicca with clear, easy to understand answers.

Good luck in your search for a faith. Don't let anyone force or convince you that their faith is the only right one -- you will find the religion that you believe in with all your heart in your own time. I feel it's better to have no religion at all then to follow a religion that you do not truely believe in. You may find that you don't believe/follow any religion, and that's okay too.

Don't "join" a religion. Religion is an invention by man that takes the place of Christ. Yeah, I meet with other believers that love the God, but we do not have a name or denomination. Religion is organizational. The Body of Christ is an organism. Christ is our life, so all the believers should be the living expression of Christ.

I am Deist. We believe God (sometimes called the "Creator") created the universe, but does not interfere. There are no prophets, messiahs, or holy books. We believe that God can be discerned by observing the world and the universe around us. Everyone must find God in their own way and if they choose a religion (such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc.), then so be it. But there must be no compulsion in religion. The Founding Fathers of the US were largely Deists and were responsible for the First Amendment of the US Constitution guaranteeing freedom of religion.

I'm an eclectic Pagan; most of my ideals resemble Wicca, as that was the religion of my mentor, but I have branched out from there.

Beliefs:

I believe in the importance of nature, equality, and balance in all things. Life requires a balance between feminine and masculine, light and dark, good and evil, etc. All is necessary for balance and harmony.

Gods:

I believe in a Divine Feminine and a Divine Masculine, most commonly referred to as the Lord and Lady, or the God and Goddess. Although they are equal, the Lady is most often considered more important as our Mother and Creator; the Lord is her consort and "second-in-command" so to speak. This is where my beliefs get personally definitive: I believe in the existence of ALL other gods of ALL religions and spiritual traditions. I believe that they are all aspects of these two supreme gods, each as valid, important, and worthy of reverence as the next.

Afterlife:

I believe in reincarnation, simply put. However, I believe that there is a resting place between dying and being reborn, which many call "Summerland." It is similar to the idea of Heaven, in that it is perfectly balanced, and thus, a paradise. I believe that the souls of plants and animals are also recycled in reincarnation as well as humans, and of course other living things on other worlds and planes.

However I also believe in personal truth, in that if someone believes they will go to Heaven, it will be so, and if someone believes nothing will happen to them after death, that will also be so. The souls inhabiting other animals and plants (and other living things) which are incapable of such abstract thinking are reincarnated by default.

Moral Guidelines:

I live by the Witches' Rede, and The Threefold Law. The Witches' Rede (in it's simplest form) states: "An' it harm none, do what ye will." In plain English, this means you can do anything you want, so long as it has no adverse effects on yourself or other living things. Of course this is impossible if you are familiar with the "butterfly effect," but as fallible humans, we do our best and what comes will come. The important thing is not to hurt anyone or anything intentionally. The Threefold Law explains that whatever you do will come back to you. Some take it literally to mean that it will come back threefold, or three times as strong, but I take it in a more general way, in that it will come back to you - period. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Doing good will create good in your own life, causing harm will create harm in your own life. This is not something the gods, ourselves, or nature itself really has any control over or specifically invokes - it's just the way the world works.

With these rules, I really can do whatever it is I want to do, but I am well aware of the consequences of my actions. I am not forbidden from killing, raping, polluting, or other such things, but such actions will not go unreciprocated.

That said, I do hope you find what you are looking for. Be sure to get your information on ANYTHING from more than one source, and be true to yourself!

Blessed be!

I'm an atheist. I don't believe there is an afterlife; once neural activity stops, that it. Don't see any gods in the way human-built religions see them existing, either.

Moral guidelines? Be as excellent to other humans and the rest of the planet as you can be. This encompasses not eating any animal that displays self-awareness (humans and other great apes, cetaceans, and elephants), not being a jerk to animals you will eat, not randomly punching someone who hasn't done anything to you, and stuff like that.

I'm christian/pentecostal. Pentecostals believe that one must be saved by believing in Jesus as Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of sins and to be made acceptable to God. Pentecostals believe in water baptism as an outward sign of conversion, and that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct spiritual experience that all who have believed in Jesus should receive. Most classical Pentecostals believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is always accompanied initially by the outward evidence of speaking in tongues. Pentecostals believe that everyone who is genuinely saved has the Holy Spirit with them. But unlike most other Christians they believe that there is a second work of the Holy Spirit called the baptism of the Holy Spirit, in which the Holy Spirit dwells more fully in them, and which opens a believer up to a closer fellowship with God and empowers them for Christian service. Speaking in tongues, also known as glossolalia, is the normative proof, but not the only proof, of the baptism with the Holy Spirit. Most major Pentecostal churches also accept the corollary that those who don't speak in tongues have not received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This claim is uniquely Pentecostal and is one of the few differences from Charismatic theology.

I'm Jewish, but I'm also Christian. I follow Judiaism as Christian are often times too judgmental and sometimes hypocritical. I believe in g-d as the one and only g-d. I believe Jesus is his son and was sent to spread the word of g-d. I do not believe you are suppose to worship Jesus, but you are suppose to worship his father. I don't believe in hell, rather when we die, we sleep until judgment day at which time we either live forever with the father or we just disappear forever. As to moral guidelines, there are the 10 commandments. Basically, be good to others, do for others, don't lie, kill, cheat or steal. Don't be envious of others, watch your anger, do things in moderation and not to excess. Through your own acts you can bring others closer to g-d. I don't believe beating someone in the head with the threat of going to hell makes a person good, being good makes a person good. If you are good in your heart and try to be good to others he knows and that's really all you need. Talk to him, he's a great listener and very good at steering you in the right direction. I hope this helps.

i do not see why 2 human beings of different religions can't be associates. easily one of my purely right associates is Jewish, and that i'm Roman Catholic. i imagine having associates of a unique faith is so as that it's going to study new issues. i have discovered about Jewish holidays, and that i have defined the which technique of Easter. purely because you've self belief various of issues, does no longer recommend that you'll't be associates. particular, if someone is bashing on your faith, you shouldn't be associates with them. As for a faith I hate with a burning pastime? i do not hate any faith with a burning pastime, i imagine human beings have a good to believe what they choose, yet i imagine that being atheist will be boring and too self-based... a minimum of for me. I recommend no longer having any element to attain out to... no faith in what's to go back, or that maximum issues take position for a reason. Idk.. it truly is purely my opinion, even with the undeniable fact that it does no longer recommend that I hate ppl who're atheist.
