Is your belief genuine or just an alternative to the more main stream religion?

My belief in my spiritual path is genuine and solid....i seek out my own spiritual truths as well as make it a point to find out more about others beliefs...
I look for similarities, but i still take my path very seriously. It is the only true way for me....
Eclectic Solitaire Pagan Witch with an emphasis on intuitive and holistic healing of the spirit, mind, and soul.
I hope you find what it is you seek.....
Blessed Be

and in reference to the answer right before me, satan is a christian idea, that most pagans do not even believe in!
Blessings 2 All!

My belief is genuine that there is an alternative to main stream religions. I don't believe that they have it right and I think that too many people try to make as if they know the answers when really no one does.

Im not pagan but its both, its an Alternative to Christian (which is the general mainstream in this country) and its a Genuine religion.
a pagan is mainly about the land and nature.
"Pagans are aware of the cycles of Nature, and observe them as festivals throughout the changing year".
"Pagans defend and respect the right of the individual, and would hope that others show them the same consideration"
"The common tenet and Rule of all true Pagan groups is " HARM NOTHING AND NO-ONE"."
I got these quotes from a site. http://www.wicca.utvinternet.com/manifest.htm .
And most of all Pagans predate Abraham religions, (Judaism, Christianity and Islamic)

I doubt you're going to find anyone who doesn't say their belief is genuine. People don't worship gods that they believe don't really exist. That would be rather pointless.
Moreover, my relationship with the "mainstream" religions has nothing to do with my faith. Being ex-Christian and being Wiccan are two distinctly separate points about me. if I didn't believe in Christianity but I didn't believe in anything else either I'd just be ex-Christian. It's be silly for me to leave one thing I disbelieve in just to join something else I disbelieved in.

I've been Wiccan for over 20 years. If it wasn't founded on genuine belief, I wouldn't hold it still.

It is genuine. I believe in the Ancestors, in the Old Gods, in Nature, and in myself. I take my path very seriously, and I have studied and practiced it for many years. This isn't a joke, a game, a delusion or a rebellion. It is a real religion, and a serious spiritual path.

My belief is genuine. I believe Nature and the Universe and all it's laws are God/the Divine/the Force/whatever. I connect with it through nature, and my practices that bring me closer to Nature.
