I do not believe in the traditional god, although I do believe in some form of a higher power or force. I believe in reincarnation.

My rules are to be nice to people, try to help, and treat people like I'd want to be treated. What goes around comes around.

Blood Witch (after the burning times, my family, like many, took thier beliefs underground. The term 'blood' refers to the craft being handed down secretly from generation to generation. We don't go around announcing we are Witches, or trying to convince others we are right.)

Rules- As ye harm none, do what you will. The Earth is the giver of life and should be respected as such.

I'm a Discordian. The rules of Discordianism are as follows:

I - There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm.

II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.

III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.

V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.

The Direct Path traditions - Zen Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, Jnana Yoga, etc.

There are no rules, per se.

I don't have a religion, I'm an atheist. Atheism has no rules, but my personal rules are to do my best to be a good person, help other and help make the world a better place.

People use the term to emphasize the personal nature of faith in Christ. Some people believe their church attendance, membership or good works are the same thing as salvation, but they are not. These religious acts can be a part of salvation, but aren't automatically. Bible based Christianity really isn't even a religion, ....

it's a relationship between each individual and God himself.

Ultimately that's what it all comes down to. That is why we need to make sure our salvation is based on our personal, one on one, relationship with God and we don't use religion as a substitute.

We are saved by grace through faith. All that is required is that we believe in Jesus Christ. If we are saved there are two things that will be evidence of our salvation. One is what is called the "witness of the spirit." Paul spoke of this in Romans,

"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God," (Romans 8:16 NASB)

When we experience salvation, our spirit, the real you, is in contact with the Holy Spirit of God, who now lives within you. Because of this, there will be an inner knowing of salvation.

The second evidence of our salvation is a changed life. The same Spirit will cause you to no longer want to sin and you will begin to desire what is right in the eyes of God rather than your own. This change will usually be evident to those around you.

Finally, remember, you are saved by faith, not feelings. You don't have to feel saved, just know you are saved.

I am a follower of Wicca,

Our only law is called the Wiccan Rede, "An (if) it harm none, do as you will."

This law also includes harming ourselves as we believe in bettering ourselves and the world around us. We are concerned with environmental issues as well for we know that we are a part of Nature, not removed from Her. And we respect everyone's right to their own path.

Blessed Be )O(

Wicca-based Pagan.

My rules can pretty much be summed up in three sentences:

1) Honor the God and Goddess and Their creations
2) An it harm none, do as you will
3) What you do, for good or ill, will return to you threefold
