My heart and soul directed me to where I am. I am of no specific religion, but I take bits and pieces from several. I believe the Golden Rule is the basis for almost every (if not every) religion.

I guess it's the Idea that holds me to believing in Jesus Christ. His teachings were of peace, true peace not just the crap we get from Rolex wearing junkies asking for money. I've been to several churches and even though I didn't fully confide myself to anyone there I felt that I wanted the world to be the way he intended us to be. Kind and loving no matter if it were an enemy or friend. I mean true equality. Could you imagine a world were people didn't care what race or country or religion you came from? Any more though Buddhism seems to more about peace and love than any other that I have seen. Others preach of it but they don't practice it. I mean even so called Christan's will point there finger and fly there holier than thou flag, but that isn't what Christianity is about at all. It's defiantly the Idea.

Catholics are Christian! I'm beginning to worry, because I hear this more and more. Looks like the pope needs to do a public information campaign to educate that Catholics were the first Christians and the born agains didn't invent love of Jesus eh?

I chose to be a non-believer/skeptic after waking up to the reality that I have no need for religion. I even attended twelve years of catholic school and it still did not change my opinion about religion

Observation, thought, and Psychedelic substances. I am not into any organized religion but am very spiritual. All is really one and the self is illusion. All is a part of 'god'. There is much more to existence then ours brains can even come close to sensing

I'm Agnostic-Theist--I believe simply because I believe. You can't change a belief, it is just who you are. I couldn't change my ideas if I wanted to, no one can--it is impossible to change a belief by sheer will. And this just fits me the best, it is something I wholeheartedly believe in and see as the most logical path.

Atheism. Just because I want to live in the real world. You know, get a job, have kids, live my life without a religion holding me down. I don't want to stay in fairytale land drinking tea with jesus, santa, and the easter bunny.

Because I have free choice and I feel Christianity is the right way.

i chose to believe in reform judaism instead of catholicism like my family...i really believe the ways they believe and never viewed Jesus as the savior but more like a good Jew who was misunderstood.....i chose it because it had liberal views on life, like i do too...
