Are you religious? If so how has your religious belief helped you ?

Yes i am religious and i have experienced god's power and love

I will say that I was raised Roman Catholic in the church and school both..8 yrs elementary and it is steeped into me. However, I am always open to other viewpoints. Other religions, cultures can be fascinating. I am very open.

I respect all religions equally. I think all religions have been badly mutilated, corrupted, trampled, what nots, without any exception, by unscrupulous people, greedy people, cowardly people, high handed people, cruel people, etc., so believing in religions with characters is becoming beyond me. I also feel part of that mutilation etc., is manifested as rituals. So I am against ritualistic stuff. Speak to god from heart, he listens.

I am religious and spiritual and it is very beneficial to me to have faith because it has helped me through so much of the bad and made the good even better. I love church and singing in gospel choir and reading scriptures and doing solos. It is a source of love, acceptance, and goodness.

we should be spiritual than being religious.

I am not a very religious person, i respect all the religions. Though i follow mine.

I should say I consider myself a man full of "religiosity", is that to say, I have a "tendency" towards religious things or sacred situations, studies or behaviors. I do also consider religion a kind of institution, when it leads to capitalism and it is used in ways that are not proper of "religiosity". I follow some patterns of a Brazilian religion called Umbanda, and I like to practice what it is proposed by it: "unconditional love for everyone" serving as a channel helping people/animals wherever they are. (This is a simple way to describe it, but to talk about anything religious, it would take pages and pages, as well as years!) Nice topic of yours and wish you a lovely day!
