What is your religion ?

Question

I was raised up in a Pentacostal Holiness Church. Of course it is not
the same as it was, 20 years ago. And neither are the people. But we
still have the same agenda, and that is to serve and worship the
Almighty. Back in those days you couldn't where a dress lower than
the knees, one time even the ankle. Or red on Sundays, no wine, no
women preachers, no uncovered hair on Sundays in church, no
jewelry, no strong perfumes, and so on.... I think you get the picture.
But things are much more conservative and flexible now. And the men
don't always have to wear a suit either ! Wow. What is your religion ?
Best answer wins.

I love my church. Now we can
come as we are, not be
worried about criticism.
But the people seem to be
much more understanding
now, because of exposure to
the modern day world.

Answer 1

sort of christian.
student of the bible is my closest guess

Answer 2

I was raised just as you were. My grandfather was the preacher of the church and still is. As a young child I would ask many questions that were never answered. The answers were merely another verse in the bible in which led to more questions. I am 27 now and do not beleive. Im glad it is more flexible for you and hope you continue to be happy in your religion. Have a great day...

Answer 3

The Church of the Blue Star,and the teachings of the reverend Alan Shearer.Meetings held every other Saturday at The Citadel of St James Park.

Answer 4

I'm all over the place...no easy answer to this question. Raised Episcopalian, now hovering on the border between ultra-liberal Christianity and agnosticism. I identify strongly with Deism, Unitarianism, and the philosophy of Secular Humanism. I find Buddhism interesting, but haven't really read up on it as much as I'd like. And last, but certainly not least, I'm an avowed Pastafarian.

Answer 5

Since nobody knows or is likely to know in the forseeable future who or what created the universe, laid down the systems by which life exists or what if anything happens when you die I am of the opinion that all religions are a sort of con and the people running them are either kidding their followers that they do know or even kidding themselves that they know as well I think the best thing is to get on with your life doing the best you can and doing as little harm as possible and try and enjoy it.

Answer 6

Used to be a Christian........ couldn't get with all the contradictions in the Bible, not to mention the many different versions of the Bible (King James, Good News, King James Revised, Gideons) .......... so I found my peace in Islam, I read Qur'an Chapter 112 Verses 1-4 and realised the I had found the Truth.

Answer 7

Christian, baptized Catholic, born into that religion. Now, I love God, very much, but do not attend a church on a regular basis, am a member of my local Presbyterian Church, but have my own personal beliefs and moral standards. Do not thump the Bible or any other book. Peace be with you

Answer 8

Well as you know all religion is man made, as is mine I am and have been for many years a Spiritualist, a religion hat does not preach to others, does not take money form those who need, we don't go round knocking on doors, and we don't take 10% of your wages, what we do is spread Love, Peace to all

Answer 9

No time for any of that claptrap.
I am of no religion. I follow the laws of whatever land I am in. I fear no god. Im not out to impress anyone so that I may get an easy ride when I die.
Im Athiest

Answer 10

I spent a lot of time searching and found strengths and weaknesses in all that I checked out. I believe the message but not the particulars in Budd ism Christianity and Judaism are all similar and for me the message is really all that matters

Answer 11

I chose to be Christian from a young age. As I got older, I realised that the church was sticking it foul nose into my family, making me fear my parents instead of working through our problems.

I am now Spiritual, although I believe in some aspects of conventional religion, I certainly don't go to church and I will never again call myself Christian.

Lavender and Ash - you be proud of who you are! I know that there are a lot of misunderstood and not highly known aspects to your faith that you have every right to be proud of. Trolls who thumb down (or up) as a result of prior ignorant prejudice should be shot.

I will be counting my thumbs down :)
