Have you "labelled" your religion?

Question

I can not think of the correct word, i know labelled isn't quite it. BUT, does your religion have a name, or have you mixed up lots of different aspects from different religions and just tell people you believe what you believe and dont really have a label for it??

I believe in a nature type path, mother earth and respecting nature etc.... but i guess dont really have a title for it, its just what i believe?

Answer 1

My beliefs are complicated so it's very hard to label. I call myself Pagan or eclectic Pagan as a broad general term because I follow a nature type path, but do not believe in any God or gods/esses. I guess I believe more in a universal energy(ies). Chi, I think some would call it. But I also kind of apply quantum mechanics in with my beliefs as well. Because, though it may be science, when you break everything down to the atom....well, it's like believing in an interconnectedness between everything...which I do believe. Same idea.

See? Complicated. LOL.

I guess there really is no NEED to label yourself anything (unless you are trying to fit in with a particular group) as long as you know what it is you believe and you are at peace with it.

Answer 2

no longer all Christians try this. As someone who used to stay with that philosophy, i'd have the capacity to grant you an answer, although. i might want to assert those accurate issues because of each of the ameliorations i might want to locate in church homes i might want to visit. i might want to grow to be so pissed off with attempting to figure out what i become "meant" to believe, i ultimately gave up. I grabbed my Bible and all started analyzing. I do have a own courting with Jesus, and in the course of the Bible I realized the way He wanted me to stay. for this reason, i did not % out myself with any particular denomination of Christianity. I basically lived because the Bible advised me I could.

Answer 3

I use "Pagan" as an umbrella term. It's slightly less cumbersome than "mixture of my family's folk magick, reconstructed Greek and Roman Paganism, and elements of Haitian Vodoun that I learned while living in Florida."

Answer 4

Ok... a "label" is one of the organized religions. Other people, who do not claim such a label, are just "spiritual," so that seems to be what you are.

Answer 5

I'm Lutheran because I believe the only way to get into heaven is believing in Jesus Christ-that He died for your sins. I also believe we, as humans and Christians, should carry out the duties Christ would like us to accomplish. (Ex. love your neighbor as yourself....aka 10 commandments)

Do you believe that Christ is your Savior and He died for your sins?
Then I think your a Christian-defently. But when your a Christian, other types of Christianity (the way you view Christ) branch out. Some of these could be Lutheran, Baptist, Protestant, etc.

I can't exactly tell you what "branch" you are because you haven't given me much information on what you believe.

Answer 6

Buddhist.

Answer 7

I believe narure tells us much truth in fact scrpture says as much and also directs us to take care of it and my interpretation of that is kinda like no trace camping, except not camping.

Answer 8

I would say if you respect the earth and waters your Goddly and don't let anyone tell you different

Answer 9

You don't need a "title". People just do that to sound like they are something unique. They're not.

Answer 10

You sound like a Quaker too me. i am not exactly Quaker but if anything that. They belive in respecting the inviroment and no violence. They tend to be very nice, sweet people.
