If you had to choose

I'm Pagan. probably Asatru. their values are close to my own, and probably had a large part in shaping my own. those I have met who practice Asatru are people I respect greatly for their level headed and honourable manner.

Can I just choose another form of paganism, or is that cheating? =p I suppose if I really had to pick something other than one of the various Pagan religions... I would probably be Buddhist. There are a lot of really interesting ideas in Buddhism. This is a really good topic! I'm so attached to my Gods that it's hard for me to even think about not worshipping them, but I'm sure had some things happened differently in my life I might not have ever even heard of my religion. Would I feel lost? Would I feel uncomfortable in whatever religion I was in? Thanks for making me think!

religion does not give us any choice,or freedom we are prisoners to the customs and practices, therefore being born into any religion is the same ,all are being brainwashed to think ours is the only way there by creating disharmony among people yet calling for brotherhood and peace among all ,They talk about tolerance, they'l get a stroke if they read what i have to say and in revenge i will be called possessed by the devil and excommunicated,my near and dear ones will suffer this is the religion we talk and practice,I believe god is one called by different names by different people,i talk and ask for help as and when i need it and thank him/her everyday, think,be,and do good,that is my religion,i will not change that,for the hypocrites,

I identify as Christians, ie, I follow the teachings of Christ. If I had to choose another faith, I'd have to go with Buddism. I have always loved the teachings of Budda. It is a peaceful and humanitarian faith.

judaism

well I don't have a religion, but if I had to pick one I might try out Buddism for a while. Or see what Scientology is all about. Anything but Catholic.

I was brought up a Baptist but in my early 20's I converted to Catholicism. I am in limbo in my old age as to which side of the fence I want to lean over. I have read, though not studied, various books on the Jewish faith, quasi orthodox, and it appeals to my love for tradition. While the Catholic religion is the oldest Christian church (if I am not mistaken) it's roots go back to the Bible and the Old Testament which it shares with the Jewish faith. We sometimes forget that Christ was a Jew. Other than the first religions to break away from the Catholic Church (Lutheran and Anglican among the first) none of the so-called Protestant churches appeal to me. I sometimes think that there are more protestant religions/sects than there are believers. However, the Jews have maintained their religion almost intact from the beginning of time as outlined in the Bible and Torah.

I've always admired the Quakers. All of the Quakers I have met have been really down-to-earth and very open and accepting of other people and other faiths. I've been to Quaker Meeting a couple of times with a friend who went to a Quaker school, and I think I could get into it if I had to choose another path.

I would probably want to be Buddhist. I like the idea of meditation and the peace that is associated with it. I think it would make a more peaceful me actually.

I'm not really very religious, but if someone told me I absolutely had to start worshipping some type of deity, I would choose one of the old pagan gods. Worship of nature, believing everything is devine, makes sense to me. Also, for the most part, the ancient religions worshipped both male and female gods. I like the balance in this.
