Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism. A mouthful, eh?
I think most people have probably seen me talk about my religion and spirituality here before now, and I'm pretty sure you have. :P
For anyone who hasn't, it's a polytheistic religion based on the beliefs of the ancient Celts, mostly focused on Ireland in my case because of my heritage. My religion has a strong focus on honor, involves a belief in a spirit world, and celebration of the turning of seasons as well as holidays devoted to specific deities and personal life events.

*laughs* As vocal as I am about it, there probably isn't much point in me answering these types of discussions anymore, but I did since you started it. :P
I'm glad you like my thinking, even though it's not your cup of tea. That's a great way of putting it! :)

Hi libertarian,
I am a Christian. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior and have never been happier and full of joy!
I am a member of a Methodist church, but any church that teaches the Word of God, the Bible, is a good church. There are many denominations, but the most important thing is that they teach the true Word of God.
The Lord had changed my life! I would never want to go for a split second without Him! He is good...ALL the time!
God bless you!:)

My spiritual path is a blend of Paganism, Buddhism, Native American Spirituality and Vodou...Its actually more than that but if I have to label it thats the best or at least easiest way to do it really....

I don't really like the idea of organised religion per say. I think a strict set of rules and regulations limits your faith and I can never agree with everything one group has to offer. I follow my own path. I'm not religious, but I'm incredibly spiritual with definite Pagan leanings. When it feels right, you know it.

your belief will be your religion, whatever you obey will be your lord. whoever you worship, it's our god. everybody has spirituality on their own.

I'm Methodist, and not only do I find comfort in my faith, I also take a good deal of direction and goals from it. I believe that God has given me (and everyone else) jobs to do in this world, both within the church and outside of it. He has given me talents and allowed me to develop them into skills so I can make the world a better place and care for my family. It's a nice feeling.

I wouldnt say I truly have a religion. Growing up I went to a Christian church and vacation bible school. Once I was old enough to decide if I wanted to go or not, I chose not to, however I do believe there is a God and I do pray. No religion offends me, I only get offended when people try to push their beliefs on me or tell me what I believe in is wrong.

I don't have a "religion" I am that of faith, my belief system is that of faith. However technically I am a Druid of the 1st rank. That is of the Wiccan faith.
We tend to know all "religions" are foulable, written by men, and often have the hypocrites in there. What I write is not to offend people. These are my beliefs, so don't bash me for them please. However remember those who do, I will have proven my point.

I never get a good answer out of people when i say its written by man, its always but God would not lead us astray and its God's word and he makes sure i get what i need out of it. or something like that. I'm really i guess non religious or spiritual. I like the wiccan faiths just dont go after them. I dont like ritual, but i have done one with my fiance b4 and i could fill the energy. I havent even really heard of the real wiccan veiws (when i say real i mean not the untv version, or the way christians make them sound) about 3 years ago, and i like it alot.

I am an agnostic atheist--I feel it is the only logical stance to take given the reality one finds oneself in.
