What is your religion?

Well, this has been done before, but I can never resist them. =P I am a Celtic Reconstructionist Pagan. What that means is that I follow the religion of Celtic peoples before Christianity came to their lands. Mostly my own focus is on Ireland because that's where my ancestors are from, but there are some Welsh and British ideas and deities that I've been involved with as well. My religion is polytheistic, meaning I believe in multiple Gods and Goddesses. I have one Goddess that is most important to me, because she was the first to speak to me. She is primarily a war Goddess, and so my path tends to be a warrior's path in many ways. I am constantly protecting others, essentially, even at risk to myself. My religion is highly focused on personal responsibility and honor as opposed to the ideas of sin and salvation. I am expected to make choices based on the effect of my actions on myself, people around me, and the world. If I do something that has bad effects, I know I will have to face consequences. However, since our afterlife is one in which people continue to grow and change, it's not "eternal punishment" or anything. It's just learning. =) Other things about my religion: belief in a spirit world, belief in the power of nature and respect for nature, a strong emphasis on both scholarship (since there is no single book or epic laying out the whole religion for you) and personal revelation. It's not really the easiest path to walk, to be honest, but it suits me. =)

I am a christian Seventh day Adventist. we believe in following all the ten commandments and we follow the first one by worshiping on the Sabbath whic is Saturday, The seventh day of the week. we also believe in following the health laws of the old testament such as not eating unclean food like pork. We also believe in baptism by emersion.

I attend Church of God 7th day they are not messianic or adventist but keep Saturday. I attend for fellowship. I also attend 7th day church of God they keep the Feast of Tabernacles which I beleive one should attend.

I am a Christian and I think it is such a briliant idea, it would be very interesting to see. Btw the other thing we talked about they have a new facility for people with dial up go and have a look (jy sal dit baie geniet en daar is baie SA ook ek mis jou daar)

I'm born catholic because of my parents, but I consider myself as a Christian.

I am a theist. I believe in God. I believe in Jesus. I believe in Allah. I believe in the gods of Hinduism. I believe in all higher beings who promote peace. I believe in an afterlife and that every human experiences this afterlife in their own way. I believe in the Ten Commandments, only because it is common sense to follow these laws as they are basic human rights. I believe in both creation and evolution; and I believe the missing link never existed. I believe what I want; and as long as my beliefs don't harm another person, then I shall continue believing what I may. Nadine.

I walk an eclectic path when it comes to religion/spirituality...and I'm more Spiritual than I am "Religious" by a long shot..I really dont care for Religion at all..I think its damaging and holds one back but thats just my personal opinion from life experiences..... My path is a blend of old Witchcraft (NOT to be confused with Wicca)/Paganism, Buddhism, Vodou and Native American Spirituality...

I am a Christian. To get into more detail, I am a Calvinist Christian, in that I believe that God chose me from the beginning of time and I did not chose HIM. And I do find it amazing that the first one answering your response was an Atheist. Maybe I should ask the question, why does this happen?

ok, if i were to put a label on it i guess it would be a pagan which is the worship (or whatever you want to call it i dont realy like that term) of nature. I believe that god and the goddess is part of us all and we are all connected to each other and to nature around us. I believe that in our own way we are all gods/goddess's. I study anything and everything including the bible and take what my heart tells me is the truth. I am always growing and always will grow untill i reach full Enlightenment. I do not do ritual (i just havent got the want to yet) and i do not pray ( just never realy felt that i was talking to anyone) What i believe today may not be the same tommorow b/c i may find new truth which will only bring me closer to my full Enlightenment. This is how i believe.

My religion is Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion. It is known as Hinduism to many people. My religion teaches that all human beings are divine. God manifests in all human beings. The basic concept of my religion is that all religions lead people to God. God accepts us without any discrimination. Whatever religion we have and whatever path we follow to reach God, He accepts us with love. We are all His children and He wants us to live with love and compassion for all. Love all, hate none.

I kinda read most of the posts here. I find it quite interesting. I am a Humanist Naturalist Wiccan. Which for me means I respect all living things. I believe I am a better person for this. I also believe in magic. Not like I am gonna turn you into a toad type of magic nor the kind that says you will fall madly in love with me. No, the magic I believe in is real magic. Like that wonderful thing that happened when my husband and I made love and we created a child. That is magic. When I can first meet someone and instantly know if they are a good person or not, that is magic. I will stop there cause if I continue this will be one heck of a long post. So this is what I mean by magic. Before you start and you know who you are, I do NOT believe all this has to do with god. So you might as well give up cause you are NOT going to convert me. I am me and if you don't like it tough! I love you anyway! Afterlife, hummm. Nice thought! Well I do not care what happens to me in the so called after-life. Whatever happens will happen. I do not know if I will float around, enter hell, enter heaven or be reborn. For all I know I will just die and thats it. I personally do not care. I do not feel the need to have faith in things for which I do not see. I do not need a god in order to live a better life. I already do this all on my own. I do not need to be threatened that if I am bad I will go to hell and so then I will be good. That just doesn't work for me. I don't want to be bad because I chose not to be. The skinny on self-righteousness.. Well I have been bashed for not believing in god where people say I am damned to hell. My children have also been damned because they were not christened or baptized. Well if memory serves me right the so called "good book" states that you are not allowed to judge me for what I am or am not. You in fact are playing "god" when you judge me so from my readings it is not me who will go to hell. It is you who plays "god" when you kill in the name of one. That is also a sin and will get you straight into your hell. Unless I am wrong and your book lies? Humm! Thats a thought! To many "god" believers claim to be from god or that god choose them or that they follow the ways of god yet they do nothing to support that. If you support this god then you would be an all out good person. You would never do anything against the 10 commandments. You would do nothing that god specifically has restricted you from doing. Get educated! Thats all I ask. Before you rant about even your own beliefs first research what you belief is all about. Read it clearly and thoroughly. I know it is all about interpretation but come on it does not take a rocket scientist to read something that is so in depth. The problem lies in people interpreting it the way they want to instead of the way it was meant to be. That is why many people I have run across have apologized to me. I have actually read many a "good" book, front and back, over and over. It is not that difficult. It does not mean you are questioning the word it means you are doing your so called "god given right" and using your brain to it's full capacity. Ok thats enough for now. I will continue after the bashing of me begins! :)
