I was raised Catholic- started studying world religions on my own in junior high. Later converted to Buddhism, but still read as much as I can on other religions and have participated in the church services and Holy Day practices of many religions to see of what use they might be to me.

I have never been anything but Christian.
I was born into a Presbyterian family.
For a time after I left home to make my name in this world, I was too busy to go to church or think much about God. However I was not blind to His work in my life. I just saw God as the scorekeeper in the sky, and I did not understand a personal relationship with God.
BTW: It is possible to graduate from seminary and not understand a personal relationship with God.
As a married adult I joined a Baptist church.
Now I have a doctor of divinity and am a retired minister, still in a Baptist church.
I have preached, taught in homeless shelters, mentored inmates in prison, and created a website that someday, if it be the will of God, will have commentary on every chapter of every book of the Bible.

Christian always..., a few different denominations but still always believing God's word in the Holy Bible.
Asked Jesus to be my Lord only after years of thinking being "baptized and churched" was the deal. Not so.., must establish an individual relationship and personal surrender to Jesus Christ; the only "way" to the Father and to salvation from this world kingdom into the kingdom of God, Creator of heaven and earth.
Amazed that people follow "other" so-called prophets or teachers or self-defined gods. Jesus didn't set up a religion, He came to save the world from sin and satan and bring them back to the Father Jehovah God.

christainity, paganism. however paganism isnt an established religion like islam or catholism or judaism. its a way of life, sort of like....well, not having a religion. ppl say 2 me, 'how can u not b apart of a religion? wont u go 2 hell or sumthing?' if u ask me, thats pretty ignorant. i mean, whats the point of living in a country where u have the right 2 believe what u want if u dont believe what u want? i cant imagine living in a place where i'd b forced 2 believe sumthing. so many ppl throughout the rest of the world dont have freedom of religion. and sum ppl also think that i believe in what i do just 2 b different or i do it simply cuz i can. once again, how ignorant. paganism is my belief. i believe u should b able 2 believe what u want w/ out harassment or skepticism. i believe in peaceful living, evn though were far from it. i believe many things, & i sort of pick & choose what i believe. if i hear sumthing, i simply say 2 myself, " i dont believe that" or "yea, i believe that."

Born and raised Jewish; in my 20's, incorporated Lutheran teachings into my belief system; in my 30's, incorporated more Christian teachings into my belief system as well as some Paganistic and Wiccan ideals; late 30's early 40's Zen Buddhism and Taoism; baptized Christian mid-40's; now consider myself a Fusionist, whereby I believe all religions teach the same basic tenets, and that God, by whatever name we choose to call Him, welcomes all those who walk in His way toward mastery. Thanks for asking.
