I believe that there is a God, but I think he is different for all people and he reveals himself to different people. I'm not sure about the Jesus thing. But I feel, overall, that religion is a way to shape and define morals in a society. Anyone else believe something like that? And what would this type of thought be considered as far as religions go? Thanks!

Well, I do believe that God revealed his word to different groups of people throughout history in varying degrees. But I do have strong faith in Christ and in an absolute truth. I just believe that God gives people the truth they can handle at the time.

I respect your honesty and your curiosity. But let me try to shed some light. Some things are universal like fire, water and air, people of different languages may call it something different but all would agree on the basic reality of each. Well as a Christian who reads the Bible, God does reveal himself to everyone who really wants to know Him but His authentic revelation is through the Jewish record. Even so most Jews still reject Christ I find that mind boggling.

Buddhist? I dont believe in god, and I dont believe in praying to the deities and stuff but i like their morals and what the religion stands for. =) But then again, people say it's a philosophy, so yeah.

You believe in God but yet ur not sure who is He, I mean, which one?
A lot of people believe in such thing, but if u ask me I'm not sure what religion these people belong to.
Anyway, honestly I think this is way better than all those 'my God is better than your God' religions out there.

You can be any religion with that sort of thought...
I believe that God wanted us to believe in Him.. which is WHY we have religion.
Practically any form of religion that Believes in God, is OF God.
No matter what or who you think saves the world.. or who IS God's chosen Champion(s) then you have to know that all paths are right!
Christianity and other religions that believe in Jesus are particularly given a more direct approach to humanity and God.
Jesus was sent as an example to follow...
Carpenter he was (builder of houses)
Houses meaning (who we are with our Faith)
The entire bible was written in "likeness" to how we should live our lives..
Jesus was an "example" to how we should live our lives.
The bible states... first the physical came.. then then spiritual.
If we put our lives in "likeness" to what Jesus' path was.. we would understand the TRUTH.
Jesus is the Christ, by this we know how to live our lives.. in accordance to HIS.
We are in "likeness" to God because of what we are.. human.. just like Jesus.
God is Creation...
Humans are of Creation...
Creation is what WE as humans do..
Any bible or stories from other religions that believe in God.. are of Creation...
I have more teachings on creation here.. and to show how God IS Creation... I have kept true to my ways .. just like Jesus did .. and I hope that I follow in the path of the rightous!

Do a search for belief-o-matic. It asks a number of questions then ranks the religions of the world based on your answers.

Yeah, I guess what you are saying is correct. I've never really believed in Christianity, seeing as I'm of Chinese descent, and like all my anscestors were either Buddhist or Taoist?

I am a like minded individual, and I don't think you can define it as a religion. It is your spirituality.

You might fit in with the Unitarian Universalists.

You may be spiritual and not dogmatic(religious).
Or a pragmatist (philosophy)
