And how do you expect it to affect your afterlife?

I have many beliefs. I have buddhist, Wiccan, Hellenic, Kemetic and Jewish beliefs.
My Buddhist beliefs keep me from hurting (most) living things. Even things I consider nasty I am friendly to (if I can be) because that insect or animal might be a human who had bad Karma in his or her past life.
Buddhist and Wiccan beliefs give me my belief in Karma and the threefold law. Hellenic and Kemetic beliefs because I believe in their pantheons. I believe in Reincarnation. My Paganism and Buddhism teaches that.
Afterlife? I think I will enter the Summerlands or Heaven when I die, whether or not I believe in some "savior".
I was raised Christian and was one for 22 years. (23 now) Trying to break away. Still feel a pull towards Christianity. It still influences my spirituality.
Judaism because I believe in keeping kosher and in worshipping only God.

I'm Wiccan, and it reminds me to take responsibility for my choices and therefore to be more thoughtful in my choices to begin with. It teaches me that I am part of something bigger, which is both humbling and strengthening, because there is a larger world that I can tap when I can't handle something on my own. My generally skeptical outlook allows me to consider the possibility that anyone's religion might be right (or wrong) and therefore to respect it.
While Wicca teaches the reality of reincarnation, I have no beliefs on the afterlife. Again, its the whole skepticism thing...I won't believe in it until I see it. I expect that my consequences of my actions will generally be realized in this life, not in some future one, so I live every day to its fullest and clean up after myself when I screw up.

It effects everything I do. It's a lifestyle, an embracing of family, friends and home. It's honoring those who go before you and honoring the gods in small ways. It living your life to the best of your ability for YOU. It won't effect my afterlife. I am not bad though I make bad decisions at times. I am not good even though I make good decisions. I simply am. My Well is mine and I will pass that to my children so yes I will do the best I can. I do this not for the gods, but for me and mine. The gods would expect no less.

Christianity definately affects my daily life. Honestly I think if I wasnt a Christian I would be out now probably with my friends doing some craazy things. Jesus saved my life. Everyday I talk to God and pray. God is everything to me. Gosh I really cant explain. No words can really explain God's love and grace.

Satanist here.
I honor myself. I have no need for gods or fairytales of an afterlife. I work hard and I play hard. Life is its own reward.

ok im an atheist. because of this, i'm angered every day about the enormous amount of ignorance in the world, i. e. your people's belief in an omniscient imaginary friend.
