    I guess you're in man. I'd like to hear more from you.

    Pretty much. There's a big emphasis on finding the path you're supposed to be on. Lots of non-identification. While some people are of specific faiths, most are of the deist/agnostic/maybe-kinda-Christian-let's-talk variety.

    Thanks. What's a Universalist? Did the Unitarians and the Universalists have some kind of merger?

    Back on topic - I have said for the longest time that I am not and will not ever consider myself to be any one denomination. As someone else said, I follow God, that's enough for me. Even if I attend a church of a specific denomination, it'd only be for the sake of attending church and fellowship, not for the denomination it is. There are things I disagree with in EVERY denomination. I respect most of them, even if I don't agree with them. There are very very few that I do not respect.

    I am a SEVEnth Day Adventist. I love my religion for the most part..the cornerstone of this movement is the health message( vegetarianism/veganism.sunshine.excersize..etc) and worshipping on saturday is another feature that sets us apart. other than that a true SDA with god in their heart and soul deems the qualities of the lord. very peaceful/loving/compassionate people.
    unlike most SDA folk i am open to some of the views of eastern religions and so forth. i most certaintly respect others and feel like my religion is right for me..i try not to push it upon others..although sometimes i get overthrilled and carried away.

    I had been floating around in a sea of Christian obscurity (i didn't belong anywhere) but now I am going through the RCIA to be baptized and confirmed in the catholic church (roman rite)

    Protestant -- Southern Baptist.

    Some Bavarian ancestors of mine were reformers in the Lutheran church. I also believe my family has been linked to Martin Luther.

    I have been a member of a Southern Baptist church for over ten years. I do not always agree with everything people have to say themselves about religion, you know... you also can't blame people either, but it's just that I started going a long time ago and I know the people well by now.

    I seem to get a lot more from Evangelism, makes me much happier and can really praise Jesus!

    But I agree with what is being said about Buddhism, I like to include a bit, especially yoga, into what I do and how I live each day.
