Religious in what way?

    See title. What are you? Personally, I... have no idea how to describe it.

    I am partly a deist (I believe that God fakes non-anthropomorphism ). Anyway, I love discussions on God (those that are invariant to its existence).

    I'm a Gnostic and a Germanic neo-pagan.

    Hermetism, Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism primarily in my case

    Some know me as a roamin' catholic, while others see an engaged buddhist who has a fondness for earth spirituality, and still others see a Steinbeckian transcendentalist. Any of them are fine, as far as labels go.

    Personally, I see at least a kernel of Truth in almost all religions and spiritual systems. There is an old cliche someone told me once, it was attributed to a Sufi - basically the religions and spiritual systems of the world are spokes in a wagon wheel, and the hub of the wheel is God.

    What do you mean? That metaphor was lost on me

    I was a Christian for much of my life, but for the last 2-3 years I've come to realize my connection with it has been loose at best. I believe in a God, and that's just about it. I'm not sure I identify with any one religion - which is fine by me!

    Used to be a Neopagan, but I've been exploring other beliefs as of late. Currently I'm nothing, I guess, but hopeful to find something that fits soon.

    I'm an agnostic asatruar who loves to find a relationship between scientific discoveries and theories and religious stories. For example the theory of cyclical big bangs and Ragnarok.

    I was heavily interested in Judaism for some time, but realized that it was just as violent as xtianity and islam. Thankfully i decided to study Hinduism again, and it makes perfect sense to me. I would go as far as to say that Lord Shiva has given me a reason to live. So yeah, im a Hindu, and im planning to stay that way for the rest of my life.
  15. YouthLiberation
    I am a polytheistic Pagan and goddess worshipper. I don't believe in any ancient utopian matriarchies though.

    I was a member of the communist party for quite some time, but over a year ago I converted to Catholicism and I have been studying liberation theology ever since. I would like to find other people who are interested in discussing the theories of Gustavo Guiterez and/or Leonardo Boff.

    A sound rule is that each nation should have a religion. For it to be otherwise is abnormal. Such an abnormality creates an unsound situation which becomes a real cause for disputes within one national group. There is no other solution but to be harmonious with the natural rule, i.e., each nation has a single religion. When the social factor is compatible with the religious factor, harmony prevails and the life of communities becomes stable, strong, and develops soundly.~ M. Gaddafhi

    muslim. when i converted almost 10 years ago i was a paulbot-type. as i learned more about my religion and the first muslim communities (especially the social welfare state of umar ibn al khattab), the more to the left i became, economically. it is honestly, just the ethical way to live life, especially if one wishes to become part of a functioning community which contans love, respect, and mutual aid.

    I'm Eastern Orthodox, but I've been reading some Zoroastrian scriptures and believe Zarathustra was a true prophet, and believe in much of the theology he offers.

    I used to be raised Protestant from birth, but life intervened (Moving overseas for 5 years, personal issues, etc.) and I sort of lost faith. A few years later (college and moved overseas AGAIN) I had leanings and converted to Sunni Islam, which I intend to uphold.

    Catholic. Though I've not always been. There was a time of my life where I questioned the existence of a God and for about 6 years I was an atheist. Then I started to question the existence of a God again and I'm back to being Catholic. Thank you Pope Francis.
    And before you ask, yes, I'm very guilt ridden.

    ^ Yeah Pope Francis is a pretty cool dude and one of the bright spots of the Catholic Church right now. I've been a liberal Catholic/Christian Socialist for most of my life, and now I'm getting interested in Unitarian Universalism.
