NO one person has all the answers.
Every person must seek their own path.
You should always seek knowledge.
You will never find all the answers to all your question, and if you do you need to ask more questions.
Every one has the right to believe or not believe what ever they want.
Life is a joinery.
The only person you can change is yourself.
Happiness comes from loving yourself.
You can only love others if you love yourself first.
You should always try to do what is right and help your fellow man when you can, not out of fear of Hell or hope for heaven but because it is the right thing to do!
God can be many things to many people and to think other wise is placing HUMAN limitations on the ALL MIGHTY.

Our beliefs determine our thoughts and attitudes about life, which in turn direct our actions. By our actions, we create our destiny. Beliefs about sacred matters--God, soul and cosmos--are essential to one's approach to life. Hindus believe many diverse things, but there are a few bedrock concepts on which most Hindus concur.
The following nine facts, though not exhaustive, offer a simple summary of Hindu spirituality or about Hinudism.
1 Hindus believe in a one, all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.
2 Hindus believe in the divinity of the four Vedas, the world's most ancient scripture, and venerate the Agamas as equally revealed. These primordial hymns are God's word and the bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion.
3 Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation, preservation and dissolution.
4 Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds.
5 Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth, is attained. Not a single soul will be deprived of this destiny.
6 Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship, rituals, sacraments and personal devotionals create a communion with these devas (divine beings) and God.
7 Hindus believe that an enlightened master, or satguru, is essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal discipline, good conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry, meditation and surrender in God.
8 Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and therefore practice ahimsa, noninjury, in thought, word and deed.
9 Hindus believe that no religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine paths are facets of God's Light, deserving tolerance and understanding.
Hinduism, the world is oldest religion, has no beginning--it precedes recorded history. It has no human founder. It is a mystical religion, leading the devotee to personally experience the Truth within, finally reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one. Hinduism has four main denominations--Saivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism and Smartism.

God created us as companions and co-creators with God. Some of us (those on earth plane) became enamored with our own creations and focused so much on the material world that we came into bodies on earth and have forgotten how to get back to God. This is why Jesus came, to remind us and show us how to return to God. Other enlightened Masters have also show us. So we are here and go through experiences that bring up things we need to heal, so we can heal, grow and love and by doing this we will remember and will return to God.
Love God, Love Others, Love Yourself

None. I have no beliefs.
"Belief" implies unconditional acceptance without adequate evidence. I accept certain things based on probability, but only conditionally, and am willing to change that acceptance should evidence prove otherwise.

Taoist. My life-goal is to appreciate the full scope of causality, and to make as few waves as possible until I understand how to make them right, and to use it to shape the future and my environment positively, forever. I believe that the universe is as sentient as I am, and that every life on this earth, be it a small bacteria, or a human being or alien, is just as precious as mine.

I believe organise religion causes most of the problems in the world. If there's an omnipotent god he doesnt seem to have much love.
I guess im a confused athiest because i do believe in ghosts!
Evolution is pretty logical to me.

I believe that God hears everything, you don't need Sunday at church to talk or walk with HIM. I am living proof that you can find HIM wherever you look for HIM and if you can find the stillness to listen you WILL hear HIM answer all of your questions.

Pagan. Hedgewitch. I believe that the Creator Spirit is both male and female. I believe there is nothing that God is not and nowhere that God is not. All life is sacred and we do not die - we just change.
