I am a luthran missuri synod. I decided this because it was what my parents were before me. Tell me what you practice and why you've decieded this? And where you're from and where your place of worship is? what are some of the details of the religion and what separetes it in belief form others?

I was born and raised as a Roman Catholic... Personally I love my religion specially now that I am very active with my church. We pray and hold our masses at a church. And.. I dont really know much about other religions to determine what is the difference with my religion... All I know is that, even though I did not choose this religion... I still ike it very much and do not wish to change to a different one.

I was raised Christian Universalist. The key difference between this and other Christian sects is the belief that everyone is saved. There is no eternal punishment, only remedial. Someday there will be the restoration of all things.

I have never been bound by any religion. I have explored a spiritual path that draws from all wisdom, that of the Taoists such as Lao-Tse, Zen Buddhists (my favorite being Bankei), Hindus such as Vivekananda, Sikhs, Pagans, Native American shamans, and many others.

I don't pratice any religions. I believe in the Big God. I do attend temple only for special occasions. No church...Once I felt asleep in church, it was embrassed.

It may sound odd, but I believe that men need something to believein...if it is your fait in God that helps you be a better person then I respect that...but I think that most religions are based on the consept "be good,or else!" and "be good,andyou'll be reworded"...this makes them based on the greatest flaws of humans-fear,greed and selfishness...those are aspects of human nature that I despise, therefor I can not suport eny religion based on them...I don't believe in God, I respect people that do good despite the crual, dark reality we live in-to me it doesn't matter what they believe in...I believe that fait gives men the power to be GODS themselves-to be good,to be forgiving,to bring justice to the world, to create, to harmonise with nature, to unify their comon sence with what their hearts feel...
I have my own believs-I believ I am my God, to most people it sound odd...to me it makes perfect sense...

I was born and raised Catholic and almost became a priest, but turned away from the church after spending a weekend at a seminary and learning some of the things that go one behind the scenes of the church (mainly the politics). Since then, I've studied Islam, Buddhism, and many pagan religions.
I still consider myself christian, but I also incorporate some additional principles into my life with the belief that it makes my spiritual self more robust.

Rock-hard atheist. Said this before, say it again: religion is about claiming that fairy-tales are true. Which is okay -until they start hindering development with misplaced morals and religious codes. ¬_¬

Roman Catholic born and raised. Though I don't exactly believe everything they say or do sometimes is the right thing.

I am a Buddhist. I find it suits me best. Some of the things I like about Buddhism is that it doesnt force anyone to join. It doesnt threat people with hell and suffering for not converting and vice versa, doesnt promise heaven and salvation to all who will convert.

In my opinion respect and love to all life forms, even ghosts and demons is a very good practice. Furthermore, the principle of all Buddhist teachings, which is "Come and see for yourself" instead of "Come and believe" really suits me.

I don't have a religion, i'm a free thinker. i guess i don't really believe in it, my parents were the same, so i wasn't exactly brought up to believe it

I was raised Catholic, but ever since I was little I didn't feel right with it. I started looking around to see what other beliefs were out there and eventually found Paganism (aka Wicca, though not quite the same). I studied it a little bit and decided that the Pagan faith was best for me. It's a nature orientated faith with a God and Goddess (or Spirit, etc.) at the top of the chain. I've always felt a connection to nature and such. It's also nice because it doesn't threaten eternal damnation or such. You are responible for your own actions. The Gods might have a small hand in pushing something to go a certain way, but mostly it's your doing.

I am a Buddhist and I am glad to have that religion...don't know why, i'm just born a buddhist and raised as a buddhist. The teachings are interesting, but i just never listen to my father preaching about it though...and buddhism is common in thailand so yeah...

Like vbob and Dakkoth, I started out as a Christian and have since researched and explored many other religions such as Taoism, Buddhism, Wiccan, Druid lore, Islam, and others while also studying philosophy, science, and ethics. While I've actually maintained a belief in a God, I've sort of become a mild agnostic. The thing I hate about people that follow their religion too fervently, is they close themselves off to other points of view and begin pushing their own religious morals onto people who do not share the same beliefs. There are flaws with every religion out there...there is not a single perfect one, but they do all have similiarities. I encourage people to educate themselves about multiple points of views and religions without fearing they are delving into something taboo. I also find nothing wrong with combining views from multiple religions to follow what you feel is right in your heart (i.e. your concsience or sense of ethics). And if you don't need religion to give you a solid humanistic view of ethics, then all the better for you. The only people I fear besides close-minded conservatives who follow their religion blindly (or listen to a leader who twists the views of the religion for their own personal beliefs...cough cough...Taliban...cough cough....certain Christian groups...cough cough...the list goes on), are people that do not believe in any kind of god or religion while lacking a sense of ethics. Having good ethics does not require religion (in fact, it might be better to keep them separate), but people who lack ethics, can often be guided by their religion. If you lack both, then there is nothing stopping you from harming other people and being a destructive member to society.

Hmmm...not explaining my points perfect here, but I'm kinda rushed to type this out.

Born and raised Lutherian, which is one of thhe principle sects of prodistant Christianity. Though I don't really know much about other relegions, that's why I'm taking a comparative workd relgion class, I beleve that I will stick with the one I have. As Chris Rock said, "it's Cahtloic lite", which it really is. A Lutherian servace is near identical, and most everything is the same, though Martin Luther omited several things that he thought weren't right, such as; Saints, Confession, Buying your way into heaven, only priests and know the book f God, etc. While the Chathloic church did pick up some of these a few hundred years later, Lutherianism still stands as a more moderate form of Christianity.

That's why I like it.

I'm buddast
