And what might happen if someone knew that you don't believe it?
Please be specific.

Hm... fortunately no one here on R&S knows me so...
My church believes sexual sin is equal to murder. I believe it's bad, but MURDER? Like, your natural human urges are as evil as the ability to remove a human being from the world? I don't think so. If anyone found out and were super pissed and stupid about it, i could be considered apostate and be excommunicated. But not usually.

At risk of causing a split in the great and holy Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I believe that the Spaghedeity's meatballs may be replaced with vegetarian-friendly tofu or chickpea substitutes.
While some may accuse me of blasphemy, I refuse to believe that someone as benevolent as Her would force animal meat on her followers. I believe that I have felt the touch of Her Noodly appendage.

In the Catholic church the catechism states that animals are on earth for our needs, food, clothing, beast of burden etc. They do not go to heaven because they do not have a soul. The thought of never seeing any of my pets again bother me. To me, I feel as though heaven is everything we want and will experience for eternal life and everything God believes we will want and need and then some.
By the way, I love animals so much, I am a vegetarian.

No, because my religion does not expect me to believe in anything that I cannot accept. That would go against everything that Buddhism stands for...

My religion doesn't expect me to believe things that I can't accept. :)

That if people don't do/see everything doctrinally our way, they are lost. I'm not sure what would happen if people knew. But I'm sure I'd be seen as a non-Christian. They'd probably treat me differently. Also, I'd probably be required to take "the Bible study" over and submit to re-baptism, but I'm not sure. I'll never tell!!!!! HA!HA!HA!

My religion teaches that birth control is wrong, and I strongly disagree with that. Everybody pretty much knows how I feel about it. I've never exactly hidden my feelings on the subject. I've definitely been cut down by fellow believers because of my open support of birth control, but their disapproval hasn't changed my opinion.

that pedophiles and similar FREAKS (people who target kids and animals) can go to heaven if they repent and accept Jesus. this is a hard pill to swallow.
people might look at me strange if they knew ~ although i dont hide this. but i can accept that.

Nope.
The only thing asatru Expects you to belive is that life is good and worth living and loving.
Which is pretty easy. Everything else folds out from there.
