I am Roman Catholic, I believe it is a sacred religion and has many secrets. I don't agree with alot of the teachings. Right now I believe in the earth giving me everything. Whether it be god who made it, man mantains it. Every person has there own connection to something, I see it through an aura or energy, and that energy can be clouded or tainted by Vainity. I believe we draw our energy from the planet.

I was raised reform Jewish but I'm not very religious.

I believe in many of the Jewish teachings but not all of them... mostly I believe in the existence of an omniscient god who still loves me even though I'm gay!

Also I think that the bible, or any religious text for that matter, by NO means, should be taken totally literally. People who do take them literally word-for-word frighten me a little.

I'm Pretty Open About All Religions beliefs. Once They're Not Like .. Our God Is A Sheep Sorta Thing Lol. But Yeah I View Myself As Athiest ... Or Whatever That Undecided Thing Is Haha. Well I Think The Whole "God Hates Gay's" This Is So Untrue. Jesus Was So Gay Like! You Hear Him Saying " I Love You" To Other Men In The Bible More Than He Does To Women XD. Well Just My Oppinion (:

Baptized into the anglican church, then became agnostic, and now I'm thinking of actually becoming Luciferian. I've been reading all the principles and theories of it, and it's a really interesting and, most of all, it makes more sense than other religions. Agnostic is good, but I need more structure.

Atheist, though Richard Dawkins hardly sets about educating people with good grace.

Then again, anyone who believes in Scientology does need a bit of tough love.

I was brought up as Sunni Muslim, and suppose I haven't changed.
Firstly, I havent read the entire Qur'an but I don't think there are many (if any) references to homosexuality anyway. Plus if there are, I ignore them lol, cos I know, being naturally gay, that anything anti-gay was added by man and not God.
However, I don't like the politicisation of religion, like religious law in Iran and Vatican City, and nowadays I tend to think of myself as Monotheist rather than purely Muslim.
Religions can cause conflict but they can also preach tolerance if interpreted differently.

I'm a cherry picker; if something works with me I take it and roll with it. Right now most of my beliefs are founded in Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, New Thought, and the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran which constitutes a religion all unto itself.

I am a Spiritualist. But i don't adhere to everything they teach...I was raised Pentecostal but they were extremely homophobic. And were also convinced i was possessed.
SADE
You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven

I call myself Jewish, but for me this is more of a heritage thing than a religious one. Sure, I celebrate Passover, Yum Kipur (sp?), Rosh Hoshanah (sp?), and Chanukah, and occasionally Purim and others, but my family does this to celebrate our ancestors' traditions as the Hebrews. I am dubious over the existence of God, yet I do believe some supernatural power created the universe (thru the Big Bang). Whether the supernatural power or God has influence in our world, idk. Also, if there is a God, I believe that any good person will go to Heaven, no matter their religion. I believe God sees religion as a way to teach people to act ethically (tho it doesnt always work ex: crusades, radical muslims, and countless wars fought over religion). Finally, I believe in Karma and a few other Buddhist ideas.

I'm creationist. Just the way I was raised; if I got anything from my parents it was their belief that their is a God in Heaven. Don't share their same sentiments on Christianity and homosexuality though >.< Also disagree on their views of the old testament, which I am seriously doubting. Also, I believe that all religions have wisdom and some bases in truth and am more then willing to listen to the beliefs of my friends who believe in something different then me. I especially liked my Wiccan friend's view on how we all do magic even when we don't know it, how we can change somebody's mood and such.

Personally i cannot beleve in a god, or any other supernatural things, and find the complexity of how our universe formed and life evolved more beautiful than any other way of explaining creation. However i still hold great respect other peoples beliefs, my uncle runs a wicca commune in Massacusetts, and my hero is a man called Nooh Dawa: my guide while i was trekking in Borneo.

He is the spiritual guardian of the forest, named so after the spirits contacted him in a dream, told him to go to some nearby waterfalls where he met with the spirits manifested in the form of a dragon, who named him guardian of the forest.

I was born and raised Mormon, but I don't really attend anymore.
I feel that a person can be spiritual and everything without an organized religion.
I think that if you just follow a moral system they are all pretty much the same in all religions, it doesn't really matter what you are (Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, etc.) we all follow the basic moral system.
So I don't really focus on worshiping any god however, I do though believe that there is a god.

1st i was brought up christian, by my family. Than later discovered that i was gay, and that was the origonal insult that spurred me to athesim after i found oh so many more flaws with christianity. Decided to try other religions, and although i do see some merrit in each (save saitanism ) they all say that they are perfect and yet i was able to find a flaw in each. Or more rather somtimes others were able 2 point them out 2 me. Either way a religion that says it's perfect, and has flaws in it has ego problems. However i also some truly mind boggling things in my search and couldn't dismiss em. Not 2000 yrs ago type of miracles but more modern miracles. Thus i decided that my religon is agnostic.

and until some1 can give me either a) a new religion that's more logical
b) some1 can answer all my questions about a religion 2 my satisfaction
