What is your current spiritual and/or ethical state.?

Question

What is or isn't your religion? What do you believe? What do you feel? Why did you choose the religion? Do you like it? Is it satisfying?

If you don't have a religion then what is your moral code? Did you spend alot of time deciding right from wrong? Do you even think about, or do you just do whatever you want?

I am currently in a transition stage. I used to be a Wiccan, but I decided it was wrong and I became (once again) an atheist. Now I am extremely attracted to buddhism for its wise teachings and the fact that they don't worship an absolute creator.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THUMBS DOWN TO PEOPLE WITH RELIGIONS SEPERATE FROM YOURS!!!!!!

Answer 1

i try to be a good person. i try not to judge others. i believe in God. i give thanks before i eat. i don't go to church...but i still believe.

Answer 2

I do not follow any religion, but rather the spirit behind most religions.

I have found that nearly all religions past and present share the same basic mythology, archetypes powering human imagination since pre-history. These myths transcend culture, uniting all human beings. However, many human beings get caught up on the semantics of these myths rather than the underlying symbolism. Through comparative mythology, I have found my current spiritual path.

Generally speaking, however, I have a very Buddhistic perspective.

Answer 3

I used to be ancestors worshipper, the teachings came from Taoism and Buddhism. I thought there were bunch of equally powerul gods flowing in the spiritual realm for different people to worship. My happens to be dead ancestors. Boy, how wrong was I when I learn the truth about religions. I can't thank the Almighty God Jehovah enough for giving me a bright future to look forward to.

Answer 4

My life and practice is a relationship with G-d through the benefit of having had Jesus Christ, His Son, die on the cross as the one perfect sacrifice for all of our sins. It was over 38 years ago, when I placed my faith and trust in Him and have been involved in various denominations over the years. My ethnic heritage is Jewish, which I fully came to realize (though no one has told me so) about a dozen years ago at the time of the release of "Schindler's List".

Through the years I have read and studied not only the bible, but a variety of books on different aspects of Christian living. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences with emphasis in Psychology and Economis and a minor in Business Administration. Due to the fact that I took College Level Exams while on duty in the Navy, and because my scores were sufficiently high enough in Science, I received 9 credit hours in Science. Some of my studies have been in the area of what is called Eschatology (of the end times) and know that the return of Christ is near. Other studies have included the works of the late Francis Schaeffer, who was not only a Theologian, but also a Philosopher and Historian. The reading of this material, and others on the topic of apologetics, has allowed me to create some convincing arguments for the existence of G-d.

All churches are made up of human beings, and are subject to all of the frailties of the human condition. Each denomination has factors, with respect to various practices, which appeal to some individuals more then others. Granted that you have been in some areas which would not be my preference, yet there is something to be said for your desire to know something from the more spiritual side of things. In the Messianic congregations you will find people who could conceivably care for you, regardles of your background. the desire of your heart ought to matter more then anything else. Messianics subscribe to following in some Judaic practices, yet they dont rely upon adhering to the law for salvation. The bottom line is whether or not you want to follow man's attempt to get to G-d (spirituality), or do you want a relationship with G-d on His terms (accpeting Christ as your Savior).

Answer 5

I am Pecti-Witan (hedge witch) AND Buddhist. I did a lot of searching before I found what was right for me and I am very happy & contented. I prefer Pecti-Wita/Buddhist as opposed to Wicca because I have a problem with set rites, rituals & rules. There are a lot of parallels between Pecti-Wita & Buddhism. Good luck with finding your path.
