im trying to figure out what kind of category i would fit in religiously...i guess ive kinda made up my own belief system....in a nutshell, i believe that we choose our life (lives)...we determine what happens, consciously or not, by putting the idea out into the universe (i suppose it's similar to praying...)..we are our own creators.....each person, animal, plant, bug- everything!! are just balls of energy and we're all connected....i think we can get in touch with that connection and that's how we begin to understand our place in the universe.....everything around me is a part of me and i a part of everything else...
i believe that the bible is a book of stories, literature....jesus was a normal man who had the guts to love all people....god (or the idea of a deity) is a created object for people to hide behind b/c they're too afraid to be individuals (part of human nature, i suppose, to go with the crowd)....that's just a bit of my crazy thinking....
am i atheist? agnostic?

if you're still around krabul....i dont think i quite understand your second point, about the growing from desire...? do you mean that by putting my desires out into the universe (my form of prayer) as a 60 year old, i would not be able to receive the body of a 20 year old? do you mean physically or spiritually?
on your third point, i believe in reincarnation (with the twist that we choose when and where)....so before i was born, i was in another body, but same soul/spirit.....the body is only a container for the soul/spirit....at least i think so...
and will check out eastern orthodox....thank you so much for your thoughts!!!
ps- just so you peole know, i am a girl....

Whatever your religion is, I like it!
If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest that you do some reading about far eastern religions: e.g., Buddhism and Hinduism. You will find much there about the unity of all living things.

Well, I understant you verry well. Because I was few years in the same situation. But I changed myself.
So acctually I can find my old mistake and I try to speak from my point of view. And from this point, please read what I will write now:
1. You are your owner only from point of view of choicing. You can choice good or bad. Life or death. To be mercy or to be cruel. And God respect complettly this.
2. You aren`t your body owner. Why? Because the body is not growing from your desire. He are growing only because God put life in your body. And also when you will have 60 years even if you want from your hearth you can`t have a body of 20 years.
3. What you was before your creation. What was you before your mother was borning?
I belive that you are a man/woman searching for God.
Kyrie eleison!
PS:
Reffering of far east religion, try eastern orthodoxy.

The monster under the mattress is something the two politicians and faith with God in it have in basic. interior the case of the politicians they first assure people who they Bogeyman would not exist then they tell the inhabitants the Bogeyman does exist and that they understand who and the place he's. It does look extraordinary would not it. God is somewhat a monster under the mattress and The devil basically a distraction as God has been fairly massive via out background. it somewhat is not the monster under the mattress human beings could worry yet themselves and what they might do to one yet another interior the call of their God or with the recognize their Holy Books to returned their own needs.God could be called a conflict offender mask or gadget yet because of the fact the gadget remains there and the individuals who've used it over centuries long gone the gadget could be convicted of being conflict offender to point how unworthy that's that it replaced into yet a prop used to justify crimes against human beings . God replaced into propaganda used to regulate the hundreds in the process the Medievael a while like propaganda is used now .God is propaganda what replaced into written interior the Bible could be banned as hate speech and definately could if non -non secular in nature. Propaganda is excused if called non secular nonetheless non secular human beings have spoken against it the propaganda interior the Bible could be legally named as such.

You almost sound like a Daoist, but i am no expert. I am unsure if there is a god involved. But they do place a heavy connection upon Harmony. Yin and the Yang... Simple Meditation... Achieving a virtuous life and finding happiness through the investigation of things...

i believe in many of the same things and call the collective consciousness of beings and the connections: The Universal Mind. i don't think there's a term for it. i call myself an atheist.

Some of your described beliefs seem to fit the "Law of Attraction" theory described in "the secret".
"Law of Attraction" principle posits that people's feelings and thoughts attract real events in the world into their lives; from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. "
