I need three non-christian answers to: Do you have any Christian or other type of spiritual background?

Question

OK, Thanks. I'm taking a class and this was my homework assignment. I think next week I need to ask the same person another question. Anyone interested?

Answer 1

no i do not

Answer 2

I had some exposure to Christianity early in life. As a child, I went to church each Sunday until I was 13 years old and had Holy Communion and Confirmation as a Catholic.

From 13 years old, I went to a Catholic School. (However, the motive of my family sending me their was an educational one rather than religious).

However, there was never a time in my life, at any age, even as a child, where I believed in God or Christianity.

At 23 years of age, whilst travelling through Asia, I began practicing Budddhist meditation and ever since have practiced Buddhism.

Since then I have read the Bible and acknowledge some of its spiritual or universal truths, such as the benefits of living an ethical, kind and loving life.

Therefore, to answer your question, my spiritual background is Buddhism, which is merely a spiritual science that details the causes of happiness and suffering and encourages human beings to foresake the causes of suffering and cultivate the causes of happiness. Buddhism is a spiritual science about the mind and heart.

Answer 3

I was raised a Catholic in an Irish-Catholic family. The religion message was pretty strong; I was an alter boy and we all went to church every Sunday.

I continued to believe, albeit less enthusiastically, until about age 20 or so. Then, in college, the Bible stories and even the very existence of a supreme being all started to seem highly improbable.

That was 20 years ago and now I'm basically Agnostic.

Answer 4

I am agnostic so imagine that I am qualified to answer your question. As a child and adolescent, I attended with my family a liberal Protestant church. After I graduated from high school, I abandoned my Christian upbringing and explored other areas of spirituality in the "New Age" mode. I was most attracted to Qabalism which is Jewish mysticism and still am to a significant degree, although I am essentially a skeptic and a scientifically minded person who has become disillusioned with organized religion and, particularly, its political agenda.

Answer 5

Yes I was baptized and raised in the christian religion, but the more I read the bible and studied religion, the more I realized that it is all in the imagination of mankind. All religions are basically the same and they arise out of primitive man's way of explaining nature and natural phenomena.

Answer 6

yeah, im not christian, but believe in the power, the love, the wrath of god, i found god a couple of years ago, wen i let god into my heart,body mind and soul, my life changed so much, still demons try to take me bak over but with god now on my side i can defeat the thoughts that are wrong, dont no if that is any help watsoever.

Answer 7

I used to believe in a god, but I never went to church or anything. It actually wasn't until I became an atheist that I read the bible. Both my parents are agnostics, and they let me choose what belief was right for me on my own.

Answer 8

Christened a Methodist, so I guess yes. Certainly not a Christian.

Answer 9

I used to be a christian a long time ago.

Answer 10

Yes. I was raised Anglican and became Roman Catholic in high school.

Answer 11

I'm currently an atheist, but I was raised as a Roman Catholic.
