I don't know what religion i am. I used to go to church with my mom when younger. I do believe in God though. But i believe if there's a heaven there's a hell. I believe in heaven more than hell i know that for a fact.

I was raised Christian and Conservative Jewish. I went to Hebrew school as well as Bible school and have an associate degree in Theology, and a Certificate in Rabbinical Studies from studying under a Reformed Rabbis program. I have a very strong love for God, and my fellow man. I try to live by at least the spirit of the Law of the Ten Commandments. I feel comfortable around all people.
I think I got the BEST of both worlds.
I do believe in Heave and Hell, that there is only one Judge, and that men will have to answer to him/her one day for their actions, good and bad.

properly, using fact the only individual in the bible who's relatively worth listening to is Jesus (the whole "son of God" element trumps each little thing else straight away,) and he says to incorporate love, and to no longer decide others, then particular you ought to get into heaven. you may ought to extra or much less forget approximately approximately Jesus all at the same time to think of that a gay guy or female would not have the skill to get into heaven. this would properly be an instantaneous quote from the Bible: “...in case you confess alongside with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and have confidence on your heart that God raised him from the ineffective, you would be saved” (Romans 10:9). many of the anti-gay stuff is in the old testomony, which comes from the Torah and the Talmud, that are the Jewish non secular texts, and the Israelis are not against homosexuality in any respect anymore. They even do what our government would not via letting gays brazenly serve in the protection rigidity.

Hmmm.. this is a difficult question...
I was raised Catholic, but now I am an eclectic pagan who leans towards Wiccan.
I don't believe like the notion of organized religion. I think that we should all find our own spiritual path and then follow that. I believe in karma and doing good things for others and for the earth.

I'm a Christian, but Baptist by denomination. You say you believe in God, that's good but so does Satan. Do you have a relationship w/Jesus? If you died today, do you know if you'd go to Heaven? If you want to be sure, then trust in Jesus as your Savior to forgive you of your sins and take you to Heaven when you die. If you don't accept Jesus, then Hell waits for all those who rejected Jesus. You sound like you're Christian, but on the fence denomination wise. I'll be praying for you.

I believe there is a god which is a creation of the noosphere of positive human thought, and which permeates all matter and the spaces in between. The god does not require worship or sacrifice or anything at all in fact, but I do my best to try to connect with it through harmonious actions.
I have no idea if there is a name for it, but that's what I believe. It doesn't even matter whether it exists or not because the harmonising effect is all that is important. There is no goal of my religion, no penalty for non-membership and no drive to recruit.
Philosophically I lean towards zen.

LDS. No we aren't a cult, no we don't have horns, no we don't worship the devil or Joseph Smith, yes we believe in Christ, and as the name of our church says, he worship Him and God. We don't practice sacrifice or any of the sort in our Temples, and we are really good people to get to know. We are caring, loving people who believe that no matter what religion you are, you're still a good person who deserves to be treated fairly. You don't have to be LDS to get to heaven, and we are saved. Just to clear up a few misconceptions about us!! Have a great day and yes, we believe in heaven and a sort of hell, not fire and brimestone, but a mental hell where you are without the presence of God or Christ and you now that you have displeased them. Anyways, that's my answer!!!

Im a Christian because I have accepted Gods truth revealed in Jesus Christ.
You are a believer of God to be sure, but the problem is you havent grown in your faith yet. What I can suggest is that you start getting back into the Bible and back into the church and see what truth God has waiting for you. You gots to have faith though!

I'm a Bahá'í. The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest monotheistic religion, originating in mid-19th century Iran. We believe in the same God as the Jews, Christians, and Muslims, but we're our own independent religion. We have our own Prophet-Founder Bahá'u'lláh, scripture, calendar and holy days, laws, and worldwide organization. We're organized at the local, national, and international levels. Our international "headquarters" is called the Universal House of Justice, which is located on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. As for local and national levels, these assemblies are called the LSA and NSA - Local Spiritual Assembly and National Spiritual Assembly, respectively. There is an NSA for ever country we're in, and at least one LSA within each country. We're in over 230 countries and territories throughout the world. There are appx 7 million Bahá'ís worldwide, and it's the fastest growing religion. We are the second geographically widespread religion, with the first being Christianity.
As for heaven and hell, we believe in their existence, but that one can be in heaven or hell while still in this plane of existence, which is the physical world.
In the Bahá'í Faith, heaven is closeness to God, while hell is remoteness from God. There are infinite degrees of both, as there are infinite degrees of closeness to and remoteness from God.
As for eternal hell, we don't believe in an eternal hell. After the soul goes from this physical world to the spiritual realm, it still progresses, and always will. The spiritual development that we cultivate here in this life will be super-useful in the next life. It's like being in the womb... while in the womb, we develop arms and legs and eyes and ears, even though we don't need them while in the womb. Here in this physical world, we can live life without faith, without honesty, without integrity, however, we will be sorely lacking in the spiritual realm after we die from this world. The more we develop our spirituality here, the better we'll be equipped to live in the spiritual realm when we get to it.
We believe in UNITY, that is our central theme. We believe in unity of humanity, of religion, equality of women and men, universal education, development of a universal auxiliary language, Independent Investigation of Truth, and much more.

When I was eight years old, it became apparent that the biblical tales could not be reconciled with science, and since science is obviously right (it works!), the bible had to go. I have looked for evidence of the existence of god; not only have I found none, neither has anyone else -- ever. There are numerous claims to the contrary, of course, but none stands up to scrutiny.
