Or do you follow a flock, only believing what you're told?

I don't go to Church and I have asked God and myself many questions on why He does things. I don't follow a flock and I consider my religious beliefs of that apart from my strict Baptist family.

I believe in the one G-d, I "dial direct" with prayer, whenever I need to, and as long as I try my best to follow His laws, there is a lot of room to be an individual within this framework.

Yes in fact it does,because each one of us have the right to practice the religion of our choice but most importantly we should all have our own personal relationship with our heavenly Father.I would think it would be dangerous to follow a flock and do as your told.God Bless you and yours.

I always check scripture to make sure I am really in the flock of Jesus, so I can try to be obedient in my beliefs to what He says.

Yes, it is a backbone of my belief (Deism). All must find their own path to God, there are no prophets or holy books. The Creator (God) can be found by looking around us in the universe.

there are no rules and regs about how a Spiritualist should look, be , act , believe
my minister doesnt really like my tatoos and piercings, but only because he said that I didnt need them to be beautiful and draw attention to myself
I told him that I liked them and kind of stuck my tongue out at him lol
he just rolled his eyes and laughed
he was only expressing his personal opinion , but would never tell us how we should be
we are also asked to only believe what makes sense to us ... that includes what we are given in our religious philosophy

I don't have a belief system because I don't believe in anything.

I believe the phrase "religious individualism" is an oxymoron.

Being a Pagan is ALL about being an individual. It's been said that trying to organize Pagans is like trying to herd cats.

you make "belief system" as if it were an artistic activity. Truth has been told we are just trying to accurately contextualize and to correctly apply.
