Answer 2

Oh my, this is always a fun question for me to answer, lol.

I am a...Catholic Universal Christian Earth Mama Pagan Agnostic with interest in Buddhism.

How can I mesh all those together? Becuase I believe *most* religious paths have both wisdom and beauty.

I like Catholicism because I love God, Jesus, and I like their respect for a feminine symbol in Mary. I was born and raised Catholic, and it taught me some great morals and values when I was little.

I like Universalism because it brings all beliefs together. One of my favorite sayings is "All Gods are One God". That means that the Christian God, Allah, the Divine Being, The Goddess, etc., are all really the same being, worshipped in different ways.

I like Christianity because I think Christ was an amazing, inspiring figure and the Son of God. Whether some believe he is real or not, doesn't matter. His teachings of love, peace, and kindness DO matter however. It is the PEOPLE of Christianity who bring corruptness to it. The same way they brought that corruptness to the Bible by changing it several times.

I'm a bit "Earth Mama Pagan" because I do believe in the divine and sacred feminine aspect to spirituality. I also believe that the Earth has energies that can be tapped into and communed with. I also respect greatly the wisdom of the ancient Pagan religions. They were beautiful.

I definitely lean towards Agnosticism because I believe faith and spirituality are a constant learning process; a process of trying to transcend the mundane and physical world, and a striving need to study the unknowable.

I have leanings towards Buddhism because I love the peace of mind it speaks of---the "zen". The idea that the material is only temporary, and really not that important in the grand scheme of things.

But, these are all labels, all religions---and as you can tell I do not follow a "set" religion. I think religion itself is a divisive tool that people use in order to create war, bigotry, and control others. Instead of having "religion", I have faith. Faith that there is something greater than us out there. Faith that there is good in the world, magic in the world, and that when we die, we just move onto another plane of existence.

Answer 3

I am a Bahai. I practice Bahai Religion.

God is Supreme being who is the same God who has sent prophets(of other religions), so all religions are the ONE and same.

After we die, our souls go to the kingdom of God(Abha as they call it in Persian). Like the child in the womb some are gifted compared to others when they are born. Our spiritual, altruistic nature, prayers and meditation prepare us to be gifted in the next world(if this earthly existence is compared to a Womb).

For more information you can do your Independent investigation of truth. I cannot convince you(as it is against my belief), I will share the information of what is being a Bahai with you, and if you believe it is true(After your research, and investigation) you can become a Bahai. Bahai's DO NOT believe in convincig someone else, or Converting another person. (There is no Clergy in Bahai Faith either, therefore everyone is equal in front of God).

Bahai's believe in Unity and Peace, Harmony of Science and Spirituality, Abolition of Prejudice of any kind, Not backbiting(Not gossiping), Being kind to other people, Not lieoing or cheating or using any Drugs(except for Medicinal use), etc

Answer 4

i honestly dont have a religion i do what feels right to me if im happy and feel good about what i do i do it no matter what anyone wants or say's. with the mass confusion over religion people saying there iright i realised there is no knowing . and there never will be. so what i suggest to everyone is stop worrying dont live in fear of what happens and do what feels right and if it doesnt then drop it like a 44 pound razr blade cutting into the meat of ur ribbs that happens to be rigged to an auto dropping machine

Answer 5

I have no religion and do not believe in any deities. I do not believe in any form of afterlife.

I'm sorry and I'm not saying this to be harsh because that is not my thought, but it is not my job to convince you of what are my personal beliefs. No matter what religious path you take the belief is personal and the path should be walked upon after educating oneself on various beliefs. Read about different beliefs and non-beliefs and talk to people who believe differently and how it applies to their own life. Then perhaps you will see a clearer picture of what you want for yourself.

Answer 6

I believe that "religion" is the political part of a person's spiritual beliefs. My beliefs have no human hierarchy nor "must follow" written book, thus no politics. Therefore, I have no religion and can't answer this question properly. I do however have very strong spiritual concepts that I try to follow ... I am not without higher support :)

Blessed Be

Answer 7

My religion is to do the will of God through Christ Jesus. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God (which is the bible). It is not about religion, it about believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God. How do I convince you of this, I can't. This is something you have to accept by faith. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Answer 8

I follow a Celtic Reconstructionist path.
It gives me the ways to honor my deities and to develop a closer connection to them.
Some of my deities are Taranis, Lugus, Cernunnos, and Epona.
I believe that I will go to the otherworld to feast with my deities, review my last life and prepare to reincarnate to learn more.

No convincing. I don't believe that there is only one "right" path. When you find the path that's right for you, you'll know it. No one will need to convince you of anything.

Answer 9

I'm Wiccan
Goddess and God
I'll go to the Summerlands where I'll await rebirth.
And I don't try to convince people my religion is right.

Blessed be

Answer 10

i am a catholic. i am 1st convinced by several miracles that really took me by great surprise and slowly i begin to experience his love and get to know his personality. and i too begin to believe in church doctrines. if u ask me why i believe, i would say its a natural instinct. just like i believe my parents will never hurt me. it takes times to trust god. email me if u really need someone to confide with. nothing is too silly for me.
