What Religion Are You?

Jewish. Though I'm not a practitioner.

 

I believe in the four P's.: Progressive Christian (an open-minded, non-literal approach to the Bible); Panendeist (God is not the Dude in the Sky, but an immanent force in nature, as well as transcendent; and not a micro-manger). perennialist (all religions and atheism are sources of core spiritual truths), and a believer in process theology (God and humanity co-evolve in a dynamic, interactive relationship).

 

I forgot to mention that I was raised as an Episcopalian. I had a large number of ancestral relatives executed for participating in Monmouth's Rebellion. Charles the first was trying reinforce Catholicism on the Protestant Peasants. I am researching the almost extinct Celtic Church, which predates the Conference of Nicea, along with questioning the Nicean Creed.

 

Christian

 

I was raised as a Post Paul Christian. I think that the Jewish story of Yesua (Jesus) the Nazarine makes more sense. Up date the Bible and throw out all the Myth and errors. Outlaw crusades and intolerance. Start with the 10 commandments snd have all followers commune with god in private. Get rid of organized religion. Everybody will be a lot safer from extremists.

 

I walk the Red Road, that is I follow indigenous spirituality. I do not consider it a religion but rather a spirituality---and yes, this has been a source of argument here on HF, but never the twain shall meet. I was raised Christian but began questioning it at the age of 8. I spent many years searching out a religion that I fit into---explored all the world religions, but especially the eastern religions. But I needed proof that there was more to our reality than just this material world. Unable to find that I became agnostic, deciding that science would one day have all the answers we seek today. But I did eventually find a hint that there was a spiritual side to the universe, and then later found my proof. This was all in connection with indigenous spirituality and that is how I came to walk the Red Road.

If I was forced to become Christian, then I would follow the Nag Hammadi Scriptures. They were Gnostic scriptures that the church tried to destroy. Among some of their teachings is the claim that Jesus came to liberate mankind from a vengeful God, and that he claimed that it was he that visited Eve as the serpent and got her to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.

 

Jewish.
