I see a lot of people post the religious sect that they belong to, but I want to know what people believe. If you respond, please don't list the religious sect that you belong to.

The reason I ask for no names of religious sects is that I find many people who claim to belong to the same thing, yet have differing opinions on things that as a whole, is considered "doctrinal" in their faith.

I believe in humanity, that the person next to me needs my attentions more than a deity does. I want to do my best for my family and friends and my community.
I believe that good and bad (or evil if you prefer) are two parts of the same whole and neither can exist without the other. I believe each human to be born with the capacity to be either, but that most people are not on the poles but are in middle with having their moments of good and bad.
I believe in the earth, that protecting it is imperative to human survival. It has respected us and trusts us to show the same in return. It is not just a hunk of rock, but a living, non-sentient entity that is capable of dying.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontious Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Christian church, the Communion of Saints, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. - The Apostles Creed

I belivee that we are our own gods.....I do not confirm to a religion, as religion is a form of control....people feel that they need religion, when in fact they need their own mind. Everyone has the power to live life as they see fit. We all have the power within us to be the best we can be, and the worst we can be. Thought limits the mind....too much thinking only causes conflict in the brain......don't think, just work on intuitin & insticts.....that is what I say. Listen to everyone, but only beleieve what is in your heart. YOU are the only person that you need to answer to at the end of the day....it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or belives, because it's your life!!

I believe that this life is shadowed by a veil (apocalypse) and that soon, the veil will be torn away.
I believe that treating each other with Love is the greatest ambition of man, and I believe that we often fail in that ambition. Very often, we are milling about in confusion while the thunder is all around us. I believe that there are predators out there just waiting for the weak. I also believe in heroes.

I grew up attending the Methodist Church....but as I grew older, I just have a spiritual belief of some sort. I believe in the commandments being the laws of life, how better off the world would be if we all followed them. (I know I don't, I am not as perfect in anyway God wants me to be). I just understand love, forgiveness, spiritual existence, and how the good against evil (God against the Devil), weighs in the wars of the world.

There really isn't space to adequately explain a belief system here, that's why people list a sect or religion name.

I believe in a higher power. I'm not saying it's a man or woman but there must be something that created the world around us other than just some space gas and star dust. Atleast I would like to think there is? But I believe there is something watching over us.

I believe that God is the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise should to be to Him. He is the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. He is the Master of the Day of Judgment. God alone we should worship and his aid/help we should seek. We should ask him to show us the straight way, the way of those on whom he has bestowed His Grace, His Mercy and those who go not astray.
