Welcome to Gaia! ::

Agnostic. However, I am creeping towards Judaism. If I were to ever marry the man I love, i'd have to convert. wink

I was Roman Catholic but recently I have converted, now I am Wiccan.

I do not adhere to a specific faith.
I do believe in a higher force of some sort. I connect strongly to the concept of the Tao, balance, and the middle way.
I believe there is an ultimate force of some sort that flows through all things, and that can be recognized, named, characterized, personified, and expressed in many different ways, depending on one's point of view. I do not believe that any view is necessarily wrong, but I also don't believe that any one is entirely right. I think that humans are unable to fathom this force in its entirety, and so anything conceived by their minds, seen with their eyes, spoken from there mouths, can only be a fragment of the truth. This is perhaps why I am addicted to knowledge. I love to study things. Mostly living things and systems. Animals, plants, ecosystems, cultures, etc. I am collecting bits to a puzzle that can never be finished.

I also believe in some sort of karma, and some sort of cycle of death and rebirth.
ENergy is never created or destroyed, correct? I am sure that when I die, my energy and substance will be absorbed back into the system. The question is, when it is, will I be scattered to the wind, or will I remain an incorporated consciousness? Hmm? I guess what I am saying is, am I an entity, or am I a lego creation, to have my components taken apart and rearranged?

I'm a Christian or atleast thats the God I met & now serve. Though I'm not sure what kind of Christian I would be defined as. The path I follow leads me in a personal relationship with God, I prefer to seek his guidance rather than look to the Bible or the church as much as possible (not becuase I dislike the Bible or the church but becuase I prefer to learn from the source). I work for him alone so there is no one else to blame if I misinterpret anything my God has said, I rather like not being able to blame anyone but me.

I currently am studying Wicca but in no way claim to be Wiccan. I have never been in contact with a coven or ventured outside my own practices.
I've dabbled in many different branches, currently resting in the Correllian Nativist Tradition.

Although I practice Wicca and have done so for almost 3 years now, I will not claim to be Wiccan until Im initiated into coven life.

I started off as United Methodist Christian, but somehow I got seperated. Don't know what religion I am now, even though everyone is interesting.

Yikes, how long has it been since I've posted in this thread? Or, has someone been deleting my posts? Either way, I'll chime in.

Here it is in short: I am an atheist. I actively believe that supernatural gods don't exist.

That's right. None of them. And my belief comes with conviction, too.

It boils down to this: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Burden of proof is on the religious to back up their beliefs with logic and reason, and evidence that can be replicated and is falsifiable. If a religious person cannot do this, I highly suggest he/she take a real good look at his/her beliefs, and reconsider.
