scientific data and the flying spaghetti monster, at least that theory is a bit more of a laugh than the christian/muslim/jewish idea of a god without a sense of humour

I have a pretty hybrid belief system. It's kinda weird, but it's because I've spent a lot of time overseas and I'm affected by all the different cultures and such.
OK, I believe in God, so maybe I am not the best person to answer your question, but I don't believe in the traditional western Judeo-Christian context. I reject the notion that God is some spiritual traffic cop sending person A to heaven and person B to hell just on the basis of some rickety moral structure developed by us mortals.
I believe in everlasting life. I've been to many, many places and it would depress me greatly if I found that we get just one go at this life thing.
I do not believe that going to church is a requirement. Why does a man-made organization have to be your only validation of your relationship with God. I find it is more of a one-on-one thing.
Not to sound too hokey, but I believe that God is love, basically. In this life, we're like kids in a big school. Some of us, spiritually, are in kindergarten; some of us are seniors in high school. A few of us are in college.

I believe only in what is necessarily true. Gods are not necessarily true.
Mathematics is necessarily true, I don't need anything else. I believe the only reason that what we observe seems unnecessary is that we see so little of it. I believe everything we observe, and a far far larger reality we don't observe are all necessary mathematics.

I exist. And who am I? this body? How did I become to existence? I mean not this material body. I mean I, the person. Then, where is my origen from? I just appeared? So is my duty to find out, and that lead to to the original source, the original conscious. Life comes from life. I don't see a lump of matter giving birth.

The universe (energy & matter), life on earth, and my fellow human beings. These all are known to exist and at least to be partially reliable.
And I believe that we can solve problems, although not without unintended consequences.

i believe in the All, which is a part of everything; is everything (natural). the All is divided so we can better relate to it; the God and the Goddess. that is, Masculine & Feminine. they have had many names in many languages throughout the millenia. i believe in many other things, but thats the main part of my spirituality.

a cold universe and the accident of life. Fortunate for some unfortunate for most. Life could be a miracle or a curse. Depends how you look at it.

I don't "believe" in anything. Either it is or it isn't. If it might be then I consider it a possiblity. I don't "believe" it to be true.
