    this might be an inappropriate question, but if u truly believe in ur religion then u won't be modest about which religion you follow. And this does mean individual sects.

    i would like to express that this thread is not for the negative comments about certain faiths.

    Have a nice day and may the Catholic God bless you,
    From Mickey

    i'm a christian. i have yet to find a particular church that suits my beliefs, though i've frequented catholic, anglican and seventh day adventist. i liked the practicality of the daily practice within the seventh day group, but some of their ideas made me kinda cringe.

    I'm an independent thinker.

    Someone once said in these forums that the one true religion is the religion of discontent. That's my religion.

    I wouldn't say I really have a religion. I definately have a strong sense of spirituality, but there's no particular deity that I would believe in and worship.

    I have unshakable faith in human ability, and I find my own personal answers by following my sense of reason and by meditation and looking deep within myself.

    I also believe in higher realities than our own, which may be revealed to us when we die or when we acheive a sufficiently advanced state of consciousness.

    I believe in the possibility of certain so-called supernatural abilities, and I find something incredibly numinous about the simple and intrinsic beauty of nature.

    Well there you go, I hope that made some amount of sense :D if anyone can come up with a name for my beliefs, it would be most appreciated.

    Born and raised Pagan. My Father has also studied Vodun. So that was around as well.

    I don't have a religion. I believe in reincarnation of our souls and I believe in the possibility of something supernatural, but I don't have a god/goddess or anything like that.

    Presently wavering. Trying to discover whether i can be a born-again christian, whether i have that faith within me...i really want to, in a way, cos everyone i know who has that faith seems so at peace and secure. But not long ago i was very much a spiritualist, an agnostic as well, and didn't get the whole christian scene much at all. it didn't make sense - and still doesn't, but i can see how beautiful it is now - so i'd say i'm someone who believes in love and truth and beauty and freedom (bohemian!) but can't accept everything in the bible or God's existence quite yet.

    I try and put faith in the inescapable beauty of the human soul - our ability to love.

    I would like to label myself a pagan or a satanist... I find both very intresting. It is still 'believing' ( i don't realy like that) in something . That just gives people pre concieved ideas about me..Any one that 'meets' me either likes me for who i and what am or does not..simple. I like/dislike people on the same principle ..whatever the erm hell they believe in..

    your born you live you die...get over it :) :p Ok i know its not that simple .

    Being a Pagan is not what you believe but how you live.

    I consider myself a Christian. I believe in the values of Jesus, but i don't believe that God shaped the world. And i haven't been to church anymore since a long time. So i'm not really catholic.
