Whats your religion and Why did you choose it?

Question

Im am Wiccan Because it feels comfortable to me. What relgion are you and why do u think its the right one

Answer 1

Asatru.

It rings true to me. I see it in my life and in everything i do.

It is better to be strong then weak. Truthful, then deciteful. Courageous then cowardly. Industriouss then lazy... Speaking of that last one i need to rap this up.

I always felt something in the wind as a child. When I was sad, or lonely. It always cheered me up and felt like a warm hug. Then I found out that Odin rides the wind. and it all made sense.

Answer 2

I'm Wiccan because it makes sense on a spiritual and scientific level. I used to think that science and religion were polar opposites. Now I think they are intermingled as I can see Wiccan Theory and modern scientific theory as one and the same.

Answer 3

I am a Christian, and a member of the church of Christ. Because I want to go to Heaven after my life on this earth is over.

John 3:16-17 (KJ21, 21st Century King James Version)
16"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Answer 4

I'm a universal pagan mystic. No one chooses something so complicated - it's what found me. Through my life I have constantly been shown different facets of Deity - and have actively sought out the closeness that I have today.

It's right for me because it's fluid as I grow and discover new facets of Deity.

Answer 5

I am a seeker, and don't feel bound to any specific religion. I respect all religions and I don't feel that any of them are the "right one." That is the problem of the world right now -intolerance of another's belief system. Since the beliefs of any religion cannot be proved or disproved, I have never understood how anyone can say -"This is the right religion!"

Answer 6

-

I am a Christian.
I didn't choose it.
God chose me.

I was an atheist who sat down to read the Bible and prove it wrong...and one fateful night while reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John...God revealed Himself to me.

Since then, He has confirmed His existance and the truth of the Gospel over and over and over and over to me.

Later, He gave me a commissioning dream, in which I was told to read Zechariah 3 and Ezekiel 3.

I had never read either of those books of the Bible, and didn't even know there was a book named "Ezekiel".

A bit freaked out, at first, I opened and read those two chapters...and they pretty much define me.

Zechariah 3:10 - I am a part (a small part) of the fulfillment of this prophecy. I invite others to the vine and fig tree, to the Branch.

Ezekiel 3:17-21 - I am a watchman who gives warning.

But I did not chose God...or chose His calling on my life.

He revealed Himself to me...and now I am His, even as He is mine.

God bless!

Answer 7

Unlike all other religions, Christianity alone possesses a founder who transcends death and who promises that His followers will do the same. All other (false) religions were founded by men and prophets whose end was the grave. As Christians, we take comfort in the fact that our God became man, died for our sins, was killed, and was resurrected the third day. The grave could not hold Him. He lives and He sits today at the right hand of God the Father in heaven. The living church has a living Head.

Answer 8

I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I'm also an atheist and Buddhist. UUism helps inspire me in my quest for happiness, which can be found my realization of how deeply connected I am to all life. So far, UUism has been right enough for me (and many others), but I wouldn't say that it is "right". Its just one religion that happens to be very good.

Answer 9

My religion is Hinduism.

Hinduism, the world’s 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.

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.

Hindus believe in one Supreme Being. In the Hindu pantheon there are said to be three hundred and thirty-three million Lords(divine beings). The plurality of Lords are perceived as divine creations of that one Being. So, Hinduism has one supreme God, but it has an extensive hierarchy of Lords.

Hinduism views existence as composed of three worlds. The First World is the physical universe; the Second World is the subtle astral or mental plane of existence in which the devas, angels and spirits live; and the Third World is the spiritual universe of the Mahadevas, "great shining beings," our Hindu Lords. Hinduism is the harmonious working together of these three worlds.

The Veda is the Hindu holy book. The four books of the Vedas—Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva—include over 100,000 verses. The knowledge imparted by the Vedas ranges from earthy devotion to high philosophy. Their words and wisdom permeate Hindu thought, ritual and meditation. The Vedas are the ultimate scriptural authority for Hindus. Their oldest portions are said by some to date back as far as 6,000 bce, orally transmitted for most of history and written down in Sanskrit in the last few millennia, making them the world’s longest and most ancient scripture. The
Vedas open a rare window into ancient Indian society, proclaiming life’s sacredness and the way to oneness with God.

Hinduism is unique among the world's religions. I boldly proclaim it the oldest religion in the world. To begin with, it is mankind's oldest spiritual declaration, the very fountainhead of faith on the planet. Hinduism's venerable age has seasoned it to maturity. It is the only religion, to my knowledge, which is not founded in a single historic event or prophet, but which itself precedes recorded history. Hinduism has been called the "cradle of spirituality," and the "mother of all religions," partially because it has influenced virtually every major religion and partly because it can absorb all other religions, honor and embrace their scriptures, their saints, their philosophy. This is possible because Hinduism looks compassionately on all genuine spiritual effort and knows unmistakably that all souls are evolving toward union with the Divine, and all are destined, without exception, to achieve spiritual enlightenment and liberation in this or a future life.
