Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wiccan. Born into a Catholic family, but have a single mom, who is protestant. Dad's Jewish(Polish) but didn't know until someone told him his family plates are jewish and he considers himself Catholic.

Reform Jew. heart

I was raised in a secular family, my mother Wiccan and my father an athiest. I'm more agnostic (agnostic theist, to be specific) than anything, but I have a set belief system that differs from the majority and have been pulled from other belief systems and philosophies. Among the unusual parts of my system is my concept of God, which I see as a collective entity of all Gods of all religions.

I'm a Christian, but I'm a weird Christian. I reject the Bible and I reject that Jesus was any more a child of God than the rest of us. So basically... I'm a Christian who reject just about everything that's Christian. But it's part of my identity and I do go to Meeting from time to time ("when the spirit moves me" as my fellow-Quakers would say).

I was born by my mother who considers herself Lutheran Christian and my father who considers himself Catholic (both hypocrits btw). My whole life I was raised thinking just about everybody believed in God and Jesus Christ and was surprised when I found out otherwise. I decided to finally just ignore the false crap about the Bible that my parents spewed at me and actually learn and read about the religion that I had grown up on.

I consider myself a Deist/Christian. I believe that God exists and that He created the world, but now stands completely aloof from it and I believe that He gave humans free will and left it at that. I also believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God and our saviour.

I like to learn about all religions and I like to spread the truths about the Christian religion starting with the fact that Jesus cast out most of the old laws and redefined some of them and never said anything about abortion or homosexuality being wrong.

I, like many of you, don't really like Christians to be honest. A majority of all the people that are Christian haven't even read the Bible, blindly follow said faith, and spread all sorts of false information and pick things out of the old testament to support their claims, not to mention take it out of context. (Mostly don't like Evangelical Christians like ******** Pat Robertson that twists the Bible to bend to his will. >< He is a d**k. Period.)

I can't say that I really enjoy atheists company either (please no offence to any atheists here). It's just that most of the atheists I have met in my life are very negative towards all religions and always seem to think that whoever is a spiritual person must be crazy or something. I just don't seem to see much religious tolerance among them especially when it comes to Christianity.

Mormons are the nicest people I have ever met. If I actually believed in what they were saying I'd probably be a Mormon right now. xd

I've never really met anyone who was Muslim, or Hindu, or Buddhist etc. but I hope to travel around the world someday and meet a lot of these people and observe and learn about their religions and cultures. I think it would be a great experience.

Thank you -shakes hand back- I learned a lot of what I know now thanks to my boyfriend actually. He really helped to open my eyes to a lot of things and I hope to do the same for many other people out there.
