I am Nondenominational Pagan. It means I see Divinity in the day-to-day. After death I go to be judged, pay off my bad deeds, get my reward for good deeds, depending on how good good was I get to either stay or I have to come back and try again. To go there, all I have to do is die. To get my just reward, I must live my life as well as I can with what I have. If I see someone who needs help that I can give, I must help. I must do my best to treat others as I would want to be treated, as we should all treat each other. I must try not to pass judgement on others, that is Divinity's job, not mine. I must do my best to see Divinity, as I said, in the day-to-day, and to thank Divinity for what It has given me. I cannot blame things that go badly on the Divine, for although the Divine is there to help and guide, It does not meddle in the lives of humans being fickle with blessings and curses. Bad things happen. Simple as that. Good things happen too. Simple as that. Bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people. Karma takes care of payback, that is not our job, nor is it Divinity's job, Karma is a Force of Nature.

I'm sorry, I ramble, this should do for now.

I'm Jewish. What does it mean? Who am I to say? Rabbis with lots heavier Jewish credentials than I have, have argued over what it means to be Jewish for centuries. For millennia, in fact. We go back something like 5,000 years. That's longer than Christianity and Islam put together. Just look at all the sects that Christianity and Islam have developed in 2,000 years or less. So just imagine how divided we Jews are! As for an afterlife, Jews are divided on that point, just like they are on practically everything else. There's an old saying among my people that translates as: For every two Jews, you're going to get three opinions! Oh, we've a penchant for argument, no doubt about that. Small wonder so many of us become lawyers! But to reduce it to simplest terms, Judaism is vague on the concept of an afterlife, because we believe the here and now is more important. Here, is the place to do good deeds, live right, be a shining example to others, "a light unto the nations" as the scriptures say. As for me, personally, I believe in God, but I'm not vain enough to think I've got him all figured out. If you're looking for the Readers Digest Condensed Version of my religion, that definition serves as well as any, and far better than most!

My religion? Jesus says there is but "One God, One Faith and One baptism". I am Apostolic, and I am Pentecostal, I am not a name, but I don't care if it said "Church of God" if they follow the bible FULLY... and follow Acts 2:38 and never deviate from it, then they are on the correct path. There is but one God his name is Jesus. Jesus said "I and my father are one".
Listen, I am a mother, a daughter, and I have a spirit, I am one person. Ask any Jew (they don't believe in that Jesus was the one... but they do believe in ONLY one God, and if asked if they were to believe that Jesus was Messiah, would that mean they believe he is God?? Yes... why?? Because the scriptures tell it to be so) God manifested HIMSELF into flesh, he took on an earthly body so that way he could die for all of our sins. Please contact your local Apostolic or UPC church for a bible study.

I am a Christian, and I plan on going to heaven after death. Being a Christian, I have strong morals, and I try to follow the commandments, although It's hard at times.

Islam. Very deep religion.
If you are true believer you must connect everything in your life with you religion.
We pray five times a day to stay connected to God ,but also it teaches organization of time, patience, and by that we show our devotion to God and that we remeber Him through the day time doesn't matter where you are at school, work..
It's also important to think, Quran asks us to think to reconsider and not to take for granted.
With other religions or 'people of the book' ,Jews and Christian we have to deal with respect as long as we are being respected; however we have to tell everyone about Islam because we wil be asked about it in the judgement Day, but we cannot force anyone to become a muslim.

I am a devout, fundamental atheist.
It means that I have not succumb to brainwashing.
I do not believe in fantasies, legends, and myths.
I do not hate those of other religions, simply for their religion. Nor have any of my atheist
ancestors taken place in the myriad of religious persecutions, crusades, Inquisitions, jihads, or genocides.
My mind is free from guilt and strife, as my beliefs do not control me through fear.
My moral structure is a humanistic one, acquired from loving parents, not from a work of fiction.
I do not try to inject my religion in to government.
I have never filed a lawsuit to have my beliefs taught in schools.
I do not beg for money from other atheists, under the guise of helping others.
My fellow atheists do not go to impoverished countries and offer aid in return for religious conversion.
Though I can fly a plane , I have never thought of crashing one into a building full of innocent people.
My beliefs have not made me strap bombs onto myself and walk into a market.
My beliefs keep me from the delusion that becoming a martyr will reward me with 72 West Virginians.
I like my beliefs, they are mine.

Islam, belief in one God, no polytheistic stuff like trinities, or God having children. Jesus ( pbuh ) is a messenger of God. heaven or hell after death, each with varying degrees. we must not lie, or steal, or attribute partners with God. these are terrible sins indeed. I don't know where i'll go after death, only God is the master of the day of judgement

at the beginning, i was a romen catholic. but knowing some disobedience to the commandments, i decided to be converted to a Jehoveh's Witness. i believe that there is no life after death. for it is written it the Bible.
as long as we live here on earth, let us try to obey God's commandments for us to be able to enter god's kingdom.

I am a Muslim i reverted to Islam over 2 years ago. I was not raised Muslim but grew up in a Protestant/ christian household in Scotland. Being a Muslim means worshiping God like he wants to be worshiped, living my life in accordance with the laws that Allah has laid out for us eg. following the 5 pillars of Islam, praying 5 times a day, giving in charity, fasting in the month of Ramadan, declaring ones faith, pilgrimage to Mecca, only eating Halal food, being modest in my dress and behavior, learning and gaining more knowledge of Islam, only doing things for your body that are good for you, not drinking, not smoking, not eating pork, not having tattoo's, raising a good family.
After death it is ones hope that Allah grants you entry to heaven but that is for Allah to decide who gets in, I am not assuming I will its something that must be worked for and gained. Allah is all seeing and all knowing and he knows if your intentions are true. I am very happy that i made the decision to revert to Islam and would never change it.
