I believe those who worry about worthless ideas like what anybody believes wastes their time. If you believe everyone should think alike you need to live in China, Iraq or some other country that follows one belief. Do you doubt Jesus? He said God picks who follows him, not people, so if you think people can choose aren't you following the anti-christ?

(what excatly do u belive?)
I believe in morals. That's what counts.

(who (?) do u belive in?)
I don't participate in the worship of any god.

(and for how long?)
For as long as I see fit.

(and what are the benifits of beliving this way?)
I feel that I have stepped out of the "christian shoes" and decided to stand on my bare feet; I feel I have a very open perspective on life.

I am a Witch / Pagan.
I dont call myself Wiccan because i am not coven initiated.

I believe in the God of Hunt and the Goddess Mother nature or the triple Goddess, Maiden, Mother , Crone.

I have called myself a Witch since my self dedication to my Gods which was about 13 or so years ago now.
I found alot of my actions were already participating in the religion i just never found what it was called.

I believe we all have Karma.. so i believe in a loving Goddess/God and that everything i send out will come back to me.

Blessings ALD

1. Stop using the word unbelievers. It's insulting because its saying that a non Christian doesn't believe in anything at all when that isn't true.

2. That's like asking what kind of cake you like. There are a million answers to your question.

3. I personally am a Wiccan. Google it.

4. I've been Wiccan since 1998. Before that I was Atheist. I don't remember ever believing in the Christian god.

5. The benefits are that I'm not limited by my fear of what my god will do to me if I don't behave.

I believe that modern science is closer to being correct about the origins of life than Bronze Age zealots like Moses.

I've come to this belief over the course of about 20 years of looking for some meaning to life, the universe, and everything. I've studied 9 different religions, and find all of them lacking.

The benefits are immeasurable. They are things that people who have chosen to follow the "wisdom" of ancient Bedouins and Bronze Age tribesmen will never be capable of understanding.

However, for starters, I don't have to believe I'm a bad person or a "sinner" in order to start feeling good about myself because some sky-fairy forgives me.

I can follow my own moral and ethical codes without having to worry about whether or not the invisible friend will punish me for it later.

I don't have to worry about suffering for eternity, because I took two seconds out of my day to do something the sky-daddy may or may not be happy with.

I can think, reason, and choose things for myself, and you know what? I find that I'm a lot more moral and ethical than the religious nuts I see on a daily basis. I'm a good person, and don't need to be convinced by some God-sanctioned brainwasher to believe it.

But hey, thanks for asking!

My name is Faith. My mother gave me this name because she was not supposed to have another child. Her doctors told her that she would die if she did. Here I am, and my mother is in perfect health, asleep in the next room. She is deeply Christian.
I however am agnostic. I support my family in their Christian beliefs, but I do not believe. I do not dismiss the idea of a higher power, but I find that when you have been through as much as I have (I don't care to elaborate on that), the words "It's all part of his plan." and other similar sentiments sting my ears rather than aid me. I don't believe that a God who truly loved his children would punish them as harshly and repeatedly as the Christian God has. Yes, I have read The Bible, cover to cover. I have dabbled a bit in Wicca, and it does not suit me either. I am content to dwell in uncertainty as far as religion goes. My life is in the hands of the people I love and who love me, not in those of a vengeful God who would rather I suffer an eternity for a crime of disbelief.
What I believe is that everything happens for a reason. We have free will for a reason. Part of that is being able to choose our religion and our own paths.
I think that everything is laid out, just like roads, but it changes depending on the turns we take.
You can say what you want about what I believe, but Christianity is not the way for me, I don't think I could love someone who would take joy in my tears, nor could I love someone who would constantly be the cause of them.

Here's my opinion.

It seems like we believe in three things. One, we believe in the person with the loudest or most confident voice because there is something in the voice that gives us the self-assuredness that it is right. Second, and what I rely on lately, we believe in what we have grown up with. It is the reason McDonalds and Burger King advertise for little kids. I am a victim to the fact that I have learned to believe in those places because I have eaten there before. And lastly, we believe in what we have to believe in. Not to say anything negatively, but there is a saying that there are no atheists in foxholes meaning that people have to believe in a life after death. They have to feel like they are going to somewhere better than where they are now because they have to to feel assured about the death they are about to face. In all, I feel there are three reasons, the person with the loudest voice and the most confident, the things we have grown up with, and the beliefs we create because we have to keep going on. I believe all of these reasons give us the benefit of feeling self-assured that we are doing the right thing.

I like talking about this kind of philosophy!

I believe I do not know what's out there and that almost anything, if not everything, is possible. There is no 'who' that I believe in. I've been this way almost my entire life. The only benefit I've found is that I'm being completely honest with myself and that's the only acceptable way for me to live.
