Ba'Hai- It focuses on the importance of all the worlds religions, cultures and people. It also allows to pick apart other religions, and take what I want, and leave what i don't.

It also has no ceremonies, or rites. Simply be, and you are. Their HQ is the Lotus Temple. Google it.

Re:Whats your religion ? 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
I was raised in a Catholic family and I would not give up my religion. So many people think homosexuality is a sin but they are all wrong!! It is not a sin!!!! Can't they see that God made people to be straight, bi, gay or lesbian!!! Sheesh that is what I hate about anti-gays. Also, I have a very religious friend who is Christian and she accepted me for who I was. So if a priest or some freakin' person who thinks being gay is wrong, tell him/her that God brought me like this as he has brought you. Besides, we are all God's children and he loves us all. Also many of you who believe that the Bible condemns homosexuality, it doesn't. It just condemns rape and having sex with angels. So if you gave up your religion because of that, don't worry God does not hate you. What he hates is what people have done to gays.

Re:Whats your religion ? 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
I am Jewish, and i love my religion. it isnt too unwelcoming to the glbt community, and there's even a synagoge where i live thats very open to GLBT. (my dad doesnt like going there... but screw him!)

i dont like ppl who still believe their religion word for word. (its those ppl who think homosexuality is a sin and not natural.) homosexuality is so natural that all turkeys and girraffes are bisexual and all aphids (little bug-things) are lesbian. (there are no male aphids scientists still dont know how they reproduce. one of lifes little mysteries.)

My Religion is i guess Catholic. I cant really say, because in the past i lost faith, because there are so many differnt opinions, and stuff like that. But let me say that i do believe in god. I've doubt it before, but i believe and have faith for him. I guess my faith grew just in the past month of July. I was a camp counselor at a catholic bible camp, and in that month, my faith grew, and i got more understanding. So i love god, and i know there is someone up there, and yea.

Re:Whats your religion ? 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Well for me I have been raised as a Christian. My dad's whole side is Catholic and my mother's side is Christian and being that my mother is more involved in her faith that is what I was brought up on. So I have been to Catholic Mass and Christian Services and I have realized why the majority of atheists I know have told me that their family is Catholic. One of the reasons is that Catholic Mass is definitely one of the most boring and repetitious things on the planet. Plus you have to deal with all the crazy priests that molest the altar boys because the priests aren't allowed to have "fun". Then you got that whole tradition thing that makes church really boring because no one will change anything for fear of being struck down in death when they do. Also the whole Catholic church, from the priests to the Pope, is nothing but a bunch of politics. So in short Catholiscm is just boring and a bunch of nonsense. Now when you look at people who are Christians and by that I mean Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, and others. Most of them stay closer to God and enjoy their religions. Why you ask? Well they have a lot of good messages and a lot of good ways that give you those messages. Good music, good sermons, and good fellowship. Which is why I personally have trouble with my feelings because I don't believe people are born gay. I'm not saying this to start off a huge debate or argument, I'm just saying that as my opinion. So being that I don't believe you are born gay I do believe it is a sin. A very bad sin that I don't want to be a part of. Not saying that gay people are bad or horrible people, it's the sin. So for me it is very hard to say I don't believe in God because I do. At the same time though I realize that I am doing something wrong and it is go wrong that I could receive the ultimate punishment in going to Hell. So religion is actually very important to me. I go to youth group, church, and other religious activities reguraly. I get made fun for it too. People don't like me because they know I'm a Christian, they think that I'm gonna sit there and make them listen to the gospel and maybe one time I might start saying stuff for the fact that I care and don't want to see my friends depressed all the time. So in short I want to say that religion isn't bad and that Christians don't, or at least shouldn't, hate gay people because we are taught to love one another and to hate the sin not the person.

I used to be a christian until about three months ago when I gradually stopped believing. I'm pretty glad I'm not seeing that 'God is against homosexuality' supposedly.

Re:Whats your religion ? 2 Years, 1 Month ago  
My religions, that's pretty complicated. I don't have a set religion but I do believe in a lot of things from different religions. I believe in the "treat others as you would have them treat you" concept. I believe that killing others is not justified except out of mercy for them. I also believe that animals have equal rights to humans, and that no one should be discriminated against based on something that they cannot change (ie race, religion, sexuality). That's pretty much what I believe, if you can call that a religion.

I guess I am classified as Pegan, not really religous but more spiritual. I was 'raised' United but we stopped going to church when I was about 5...

Re:Whats your religion ? 2 Years, 1 Month ago  
I myself am a Unitarian Universalist, and the interesting part about that is it was my own decision, not something I grew up with as a child. I was never really brought up to a certain religion. My mother made it very clear to me when I was young that it was completely my decision whether I believed in God or not. I was once a devout Christian, I went to a Baptist Church every Sunday for a good while. But after a while, I began to question my religion, and there were so many illogical things in it that I just decided I needed a new one. It was interesting, really. I went from Christian, to Atheist, to Buddhist, to Unitarian Universalist. What I like about Unitarian Universalism is that they are VERY LGBT friendly and actually "search for the truth". They question things. In fact, debating is kind of one of their trademarks....A joke I once saw on a UU post said "A group of UU children had just caught a bunny, but they couldn't figure out what gender it was. 'Well,' said a boy, 'There's only one way to tell. Let's take a vote on it.'" Trust me, there are more, but that's the most vivid one in my memory.....If you wanna know more about UUism, go to www.uua.org.
