What religion are you?

[Roses Ablaze]

I'm consider myself Christian, though in reality I think I'm partway between Christian and Agnostic.

 

[Kthleen]

Very agnostic. I'm a little spiritual (darn computer, tempting me away from meditation...), but not religious. I also couldn't give much of a care about the origin of the universe and humans (are we alien experiments? Did we evolve? Eh, whatever).

 

[seatrooper]

I only believe in the Force.

 

[Barunson]

Roman Catholic. But I don't eat pork, or meats on Fridays. Religious-changes are only official like in the really old days.

 

[MondoTR]

Athiest but sometimes agnostic.

 

[Archaic]

Atheist.

Nitpick. Atheism isn't a religion. It's the absence of religion.

 

[raekuul]

You left out Mormonism. Add that, then I'll vote.

 

[Josh]

Archaic is right. Atheim is an anti-religion, or absence there-of.

Atheist.

 

[Jedi_Amara]

It's said by some people that atheists really do believe in a god, because they deny God, and in order to deny something one must first believe in it

That said, I'm probably an atheist. Probably? Well, yes, I might be an agnostic. I'm not even sure of my own existence! I keep wondering about who I'd be if I wasn't me... or if I didn't exist... blah

 

[InfiniteBlue]

Even though I was born Christian (Roman Catholic), I'd say Other. I believe there is some sort of higher power/being that upholds the universe, reincarnation, and some form of Heaven and Hell, but I don't believe in any sort of scriptures and doctrines.

Like Kthleen, I'm pretty spiritual. Even so, I like to study certain religions to see where I'd like to go with my spirituality. Currently, I'm studying Paganism. ^^

Sadly, I don't have the power to do that (only admins can edit polls).

 

[Argy]

I am an atheist.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Mostly Athiest with some Agnostic feelings. But primarily Athiest so I voted for that.

 

[creepy_kecleon]

Im a muslim, maybe the only muslim here

 

[GrnMarvl14]

I'm agnostic for lack of a better explanation. Too many things have happened in my life to give me a firm religion, or to completely deny the lack of a higher being. Too much chaos for my orderly mind to comprehend.

 

[Kthleen]

In that case, monotheists must really be evolutionist polytheists.... ("Dear Jesus, I.... Get away, Loki! I don't believe in you!")

Like Kthleen, I'm pretty spiritual. Even so, I like to study certain religions to see where I'd like to go with my spirituality. Currently, I'm studying Paganism. ^^

What kind of Paganism? There's Buddhism, Wicca, Santeria, various ancient "native" religions, Kemet, Hellenic reconstructionism, at least two types of Satanism....
I need to stay off the computer more.... If anything, I would probably be an eclectic (read: Ooh! That looks interesting! *snatch*) who doesn't really believe in gods, but believes the possibility, even "probability", for other spirit beings, aliens, and magic, and who thinks of the gods basically as just archetypes. Not willingly going on any out-of-body trips any time soon, though (they hurt for me)....

 

[GrnMarvl14]

Buddhism's a Pagan faith? Now is this the in general "anything non-Christian is Pagan" or some official terminology?

 

[Kthleen]

I'm personally going by "one who is not a Christian, Muslim, or Jew, especially a worshiper of a polytheistic religion." I also keep hearing that Buddhism is more of a "path" than a religion (therefore one can have Christian and atheist Buddhists), but I'm not completely sure about that, as I've never really looked into Buddhism. (Looking up "religion", it may fit the "a set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader" meaning.)

 

[Eevee]

atheist. I don't automatically believe anything that happens to be science, and I don't automatically disbelieve anything that happens to be not-science. I just don't think there's a god.

It's said by some people that atheists really do believe in a god, because they deny God, and in order to deny something one must first believe in it

I am always astounded that there are people who honestly think 'disbelieve' is the same as 'actively deny', as if I secretly believe their god exists but want to spite it for some reason. I've even met some of them.

(I guess those people also believe unicorns and dragons exist.)

I'm most interested in Wicca (just the general tradition, not particularly any of its own branches, like Gardnerian Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca, Dianic Wicca, etc.), but I consider myself an eclectic in that I combine some Wiccan beliefs with beliefs from Buddhism and Christianity.

And Paganism has nothing to do with Satanism; sure, Pagans have different ways of viewing Satan (as an anthropomorphic being, as a psychological or energetic pattern, a thought form, etc.), most of them do not believe in him. Besides, a lot of believers have gotten so sick of being associated with Satan worshippers that they want nothing to do with him. I got that all from a book titled Paganism: An Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions, which can provide information on the subject better than I can copy it out of the book and onto the forums. ^^;

Whoa, you actually tried an out-of-body experience? I never guessed how they would hurt...
