Wat is ur religion?

I am officially Jewish. I was raised in a Jewish household, and I'm very proud of my upbringing. Being part of the Jewish community had a really good effect on who I am today. And, for the most part, I like myself.


However, I have been exploring my other options a lot lately. I've read parts of the Koran, and some of the Christian bible. I go to Religioustolerence.org more often than I go everywhere else. (It's a good source of information) I don't know yet. I know that I believe in G-d, and I know I only believe in one G-d, but other than that, I'm not sure. I'm 17, so I guess I have time to decide who I am and which religion is right for me.

 

I believe in what ever it suits me to believe in at any particular moment.

if anyone is having trouble figurin out which religion that beliefs lie in then go to http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION I have taken it a few times and depending on the importance I place my answers I came up with different values in different religions. This was my 3rd try at it...my 2nd try is posted in the thread about inventing your own religion (I think)

My Results:

1. Secular Humanism (100%) Click here for info

That sounds too easy. I can see religious folk havin a problem with that, cuz they think it has to be hard. lol

I am a apathetic ignoramagnostic theist.

 

Yeah, I generally believe anything God tricks me into believing, then realize it is bullshit and laugh.

Sheer genious however.

 

I have my own views on the world, unique to me, but a lot of them fit in with pagan and earth based views.

 

I have been brought up in a conversative Christian household, but christianity is not my thing. In the church I'm never allowed to think for myself, and I can't believe in things I don't understand (yes that's a bit of a contradiction, I am aware of that). I read alot about different religions and there's something good in all the major religions. What suits me best is the Bahá'í faith, because they accept different faith as the Truth and they don't make a problem of the combination religion/science.

 

I'm begining to believe that all the stupid things that churches do and say are done to motivate people to think for themselves instead of using a moral crutch. We could call it the superSocratic method: say something stupid and provocative to make people reach their own understanding of things instead of relying upon outside authority. It works for me...

 

Hey Lucy/fellow Dutchie!

I was raised Catholic but am now somewhat of a mix between zenbuddhism and paganism.. you'd be surprised how well the two can be combined!

 

Hell yeah, good point! Think it only works for smart people though, some people can never be pushed to think for themselves. These are the people who kill the man who comes to free them from their slavery in the cave of Plato.

 

I would consider myself an agnostic. I don't participate in any organized religion, and don't feel I need to be a good person and lead a positive life.

 

I belive in vibes and forces, how things interact, sort of like a Jedi only without controling other things dirctly from the mind. I'm sort of a spiritual medicine man.

 

I wouldn't say it only works for smart people, I would say it only works for certain people... Extremely intelligent people can go through life working to support the ideas that are handed to them, and unless something shocks them out of their mindset, they will continue to support these ideas (take stereotype catholics, pharisees, etc.). If you build your mind upon quicksand, it will not be stable, if you build it upon bedrock, it will.

 

No that's not what I think either. But some people are more open to new ideas.

 

for lack of a catagorizing word, which im not to fond of anyway...Pagan Willworker will have to suffice as a name for it....

 

I am a Christian, however I do not belong to any kind of church. I believe in the Bible and it's teachings.
