What could you call what I believe?

Question

So I'm 16 and recently I went athiest after being a Christian. Even more recently I kind of started believing that there is a God. But then again I don't believe a lot of things in the Bible. I believe in God but I also have my own virtues and morals and not the morals a book tells me to have. For now I'm calling it Alexanity named after me but is there an actual name for it?

And is there anyone else in this kind of situation?

Answer 1

Confused.

Answer 2

Yes, I'm in the same situation-technically I'm christian, but dont go to church, or really pray or do anything christian, so im really not christian...but I do think there is a god, and I base my morals on what I think is right. It's like u make religion be what you want it to be.
Um...I dont think there is a specific word for it...but who knows, maybe alexanity will start catching on as a new religion!

Answer 3

If you believe in the general idea of a god, but not one in particular that would make you a Deist.

And you are young, you will figure it out. I would suggest you read books from several different perspectives and see what resonates.

Answer 4

You may want to try going to this site and taking the "Belief-o-Matic" (corny name, but a good quiz):

http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

It asks about what your current beliefs are, then will give you a list of some faiths that most closely resemble your current beliefs. It will also give you an idea of more reading or research if you want.

Answer 7

Find the nearest Episcopal church and try that. No sense reinventing the wheel when someone else has done a better job.

Answer 8

That sort of (sort of I said! I didn't say that's what it is!) sounds like being Agnostic, which is the belief that there might be a god but there is little proof.

Answer 9

You're your own person. You're a pantheist, believes in God but doesn't adhere to any church or religious doctrine.

Answer 10

Alex as long as your a kind, considerate human being and respect other people and their "Faiths", It really doesn't matter what it's called, it's all good!!!
