what religion are you?

Question

and why?

was you born into it? or did you convert? if you did convert, why?

if your not religious, why is that?

Answer 1

I'm a member of the Naturalist's Natural Church of Nature. It's a pagan religion which prohibits wearing clothes in church. EVERYBODY is born into this religion -- have you ever seen a baby born with clothes on? Unlike most folks I never converted away from my natural-born, innate religion of the Naturalist's Natural Church of Nature.

Answer 2

christian not from a christian home. Found god all on my own. I'd studied a bunch of different religions at different points and in my hour of need i called all of them out and the god i follow now is the only one who responded. Whats weird about that to me though is that after that I somehow can ggive really accurate advice on things ive never done, my gift i suppose. Ive been doing research and find that more and more of the events in the bible make sense, like creation. first there was the sea and the creatures there and then they crawled onto land and became the creatures of the land(pardon me if my wording isn't exact) and then theres people who some how being the weakest and frailest of all life on earth somehow have the most influence over everything else. we didn't crawl to the top of the food chain through evolution cause lets face it we would have fallen, we are there because we were put there.

Answer 3

I've always thought Christianity sounded ridiculous, so I was an atheist from as early as I can remember to about 19 years old. That began a several-year flirtation with neopagan religions, which I'm over now.

I'm not religious for a number of reasons. A big one is that I studied the origins and histories of many religions, and I quickly realized that churches only exist to control and limit large numbers of people for political purposes. Even if the scope of those politics is one single village, you still have an unchallengeable authority telling everybody else what to think and do, with the threat of supernatural consequences for disobeying. This was especially clear to me when I realized that religious movements tend to absorb or steal ideas from one another in a process which closely parallels military conquests of new lands.

Answer 4

I was born faithless.

Raised Catholic well until age of 12 when my mom fell away from the Catholic and decided that our family should attend the Church that my fathers family has founded in our home town. So then we become Pentacosts. Was I saved? Heck no! I stumbled around in life for about 15 years than after a lot of anquish and being of sick of stumbling on my own. I reached out my hand and touched the face of God. What was the turning point? A failed marriage at the age of 27, 7 months pregnant and facing the thought of being a single mom. I contemplated secular answers, such as suicide, to late for a partial birth abortion, could I actually have my ex- husband taken care of? Again those are just thoughts that pass through the human mind lingering for a moment and than dying into non-exsistance. I started going to Church praying that the Lord God would convict the heart of my adulterous husband? Knowing that the Lord did not condone divorce and would not want me to suffer. In February of 1998 my son was born, in April of the same, I as the Petioner in the case, was divorced. Wow! Here I am a single mom at the age of 28. For three years I again stumbled through life, praying going to Church but in no way living for the Lord God. But I continued to pray and go to Church, God was working on my heart I was just being a little stubborn. When my son turned three I met a man, we fell in love and in 2003 we were wed. We now have a complete family, we have our two boys, we moved across the country and started a new life together. We both became saved and were recently baptized in our Church, Assemblys of God. It was a long hard road until the day I took the hand of the Lord God, until I totally submitted and surrendered to his will. Is my life perfect now? No, am I at peace? Oh yes!

Answer 5

No religion. I followed the Christian faith for many years. I came to the conclusion that a loving God would reward his followers and not allow them to be slandered or downtroden by Atheists if he existed. There is absolutely nothing that even remotely suggests the existence of God other than a book that was written at a time when people didn't understand rain or lightning and thought it was the vengence of a higher being. I have prayed and prayed, but no answer, ever. I still stand true to the moral value within the bible, but I no longer believe there is a higher being watching over us. ;-)

Answer 7

Roman Catholic. I was born into this religion, turned my back on it and became Wiccan for several years. Then, in a hard time of my life (broke up with my ex and was having problems at work) I took my mom's advice and went back to church. I was fully expecting to hate it, wanted to hate, and was only doing this to get her off my back. However, I found acceptance and love in church. The people there were ready to help me and offered good advice. I kept going back and started looking forward to spending my one hour in church. Eventually, I decided to take my last step and become Confirmed. I was born in the Catholic faith, but I am Roman Catholic by choice.

Answer 8

I'm a member of the family federation for world peace and unification, or the Unification church for short.

I was born into this religion and, although I did go through a time of questioning, I've decided that my religion seems to make the most sence to me.

Answer 9

Christian [Assemblies of God]
I was raised Methodist.
I have always believed in Jesus, God, the Bible, etc. but did not have a personal relationship with Christ until I began attending the A/G and found out there was so much more to being a Christian than I ever knew about before.

Answer 10

well i dont really see it as a religion...i see it as a relationship w/ GOD... i dont really like too many ritualistic things that are done in churches now a days... but i love God and i do my best to serve him.

i was born in to it.. well kind of...because my grandparents believed in it and so did my parents but they didnt really wanna be part of a "religion" at the time

and i wouldnt say that never converted...i converted around the age of 9 wheni knew what was right and wring and i made my own decision.

but my religion is really strict...so may people think we are extremist...and i respect that...but some of the things include:
no pants for girls
no piercings..not even earings
no tatoos
no movie theathers
no sex before marriage
no drinking
no listening to secular music for own pleasure..

and many more...butyou know what im 18 and i havent been ableto do many things...and guess what?? god has always been more than enought to help me get through life :)

god bless you

Answer 11

Well, I'm atheist. I grew up in a Christian family but I started to realize things wrong inside the religion. I just felt it was best, once i moved out of my parents house, to not persue any religion. It's time consuming and I have better things to do. You wanted honesty, you got it.
