What Religion Are You And Tell Me Why?

I believe in God the Father Almighty... The key reason I like being a Methodist is that we think and let think, believe in Christ, and respect the religious beliefs of others. It is also not a sin to let your mind wander from time to time. We Methodists don't get fussy about lifestyle, dress, or personal opinions as long as we present a good example for Christ. With us, denomination is not important. All believers can go to heaven.

I tried them all except, Muslim, and do not want to try Muslim, because too many rules, and ground kissing. The last I was a Mormon, but after seeing Mormons like to use guns, I knew this is not Gods House. I am now just a Christian, who practices Religion at my Home. I call it My Home Religion. I believe in The Lord, and he does exist.

I've seen all the wrong of religions; So I just decided to believe what I think is right.

I am Roman Catholic, because I like the traditions of the Roman Catholic faith.

Just a bunch of clicks with arrogant people spreading fantasy, distrust and some hatred.

I felt a hand rest on my right showder just saying a prayer for Jesus to be with me cause I could not make it on my own. My brother was dying he was my best friend also. I went to church as a kid I know Jesus is very real..

I'm not religious in anyway....

It is a very long story. I was following Native American ways. Got sick. Wasn't supposed to live. Had a vision of Jesus. Got healed by Jesus. Converted to being a Christian.
That's about as short as I can make it.

Christian, and attending a Baptist Church.

I need to point out I believe there is a complete difference between "religion" and Faith. To me religion is a creation of men to control men while faith is a creation of heart, mind and soul to help man rise above men to become more god-like. You can have faith without having religion (which really is little more than a doctroine of dogma which many can practice but never belive never really live. Faith on teh other hand is the freedom to let go and trust that what is meantto be, what is good and correct will come.

As to all that I was born into a strict catholic family and forced to practice until I was 17. I then explored several other religious practices and found that none suited me. I formally studied religion in an acidemic sence and used that o build more understadning about what place religion has in society and individualism. I now formally practice faith over religion and find great peace in it

Wicca/pagan-

Although I label myself as Wicca, I take some of the religious views and morals of pagan.( yes I do realize that Wicca branches of pagan, but in the same respect they have taken on some of their own views/morals and practices.. Anyway) I choose my religion for the fact that it has opened my eyes and my heart, to many things that I can & cannot see. I find it a peaceful religion.. And devote myself to learning new things everyday and making amends with those of my Past.

I am spiritual. I believe in God and know he is real. Just so many aspects of my life he has showed his existence. But I don't believe in organize religion so I just call my self spiritual. I hate the always unnaturally happy people at church and there strict rules.

It's not really accurate to have a "Catholic" answer choice and an entirely separate "Christian" answer choice. Catholics are Christians. So are Baptists and Lutherans.

Anyhow, I could go on at length and give lots of reasons why I'm Catholic ... but I'll sum it all up by saying that I truly believe the Catholic Church is the church founded by Jesus.

See Matthew 16:13-19 for details.

Never a member of a church or a religion, but consider myself to be Spiritual.

Pagan


I honor my Goddess Gaia mother Earth

and Father Cerrunnos

I am Pagan. I used to be a southern baptist, but I quickly realized my mistake and changed to Paganism, once I knew enough about it.

I'm an agnostic atheist because so far, the evidence I have observed leaves me with no idea whether there is a creator deity or not, and the sky-daddy myths your list of usual suspects spout are riddled with contradictions, absurdities and tautologies.

I was raised Catholic. I am now agnostic. I don't believe that any of the world religions have it right.

I was a Catholic but then I learned to think for myself.

Just spiritual. I know nothing, but look after my whole well-being, and try to do the same for the earth's.

Because actual religion leads the way to deviation and abuse. I'm not interested in being told what to think-- I'm interested in following a philosophy and doing what's right and good, and if that philosophy no longer applies, I will adjust it accordingly.

I have a relationship with the Living God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That relationship is at the very core of who I am.

Shux, the page jumped.... dern it...... more spirituall than anything else......
I believe in a Loving God, creator, .....???
It should be all about the love......!!

Our creator is almighty... and grand!!

i dont know i was just born into it

Was born and raised Catholic. Dumped the whole thing around 22 YO. Haven't regretted it at all.

Flying Spaghetti Monster - Pastafarian
Because it makes more sense than the rest of this nonsense.

I am atheist and that is because I don't believe in a higher power. Simple and truthful.

I think it is human nature to acknowledge some sort of higher power or some sort and since I walked away from the Roman Catholic Church and pretty much all organized religion (10 years ago).

I remain spiritual, but have abandoned religion, organized religion which is all man made.

I was raised Lutheran, my mother was the organist and my father was college buddies with the pastor...we were very active in the church. But I now look at religion as an extremely personal matter and can't stand when people here proselytize while simultaneously condemning others who don't share their particular brand of Christianity.

Proudly, staunchly, and rationally Atheist (or secular humanist if you're looking for an ideological term).

It runs in the family. Dad was a UMC Preacher as were his brother, father, grandfather...

Deist, because of my own spiritual and mental development lead me to it.... I started out as pretty much a fundamentalist christian, became non-denominational Christian, then spiritual but not religious, and now im Deist which probably wont change

Odinist.

Atheist.... And I hate Organized Religions, because they all think they are "the one", when in actuality, they all have it wrong, as obviously they can't all be right!

I don't like organized religion either. That is why I belong to St. Joseph's Parish.

Are you saying St. Joseph's Parish is Disorganized?

you got it

Atheist because there isn't enough proof of any supreme being to convince me that one exists. The evidence says NEIN.

...a Christian of the philosophical variety. I could have as easily checked "Buddhist", had you included it. "If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism." Albert Einstein

I am a Jōdo Shinshū, a Japanese Pure Land Buddhist Sect. Please see:

I became a Buddhist about a dozen years ago, after a lifetime spiritual journey which started with Quakerism and went through Atheism.
