I found this posting absolutely fanscinating. I would like to thank everyone for thier willness to share their believes and to answer the questions we have posted.
I am not sure what I would be classified as. I was raised as a fundamentalist Roman Catholic (yes there are plenty out there). But I had a difficult time accepting many of the beliefs, rule, regulations (what ever you want to call them) of the Catholic religon. (I was even asked to leave the Catholic High School in my town because of that.)
Over the years I have explored many different types of religions including Anglicanism, Lutherism, Buddism, and even Taoism. I haven't found one that fits yet, but I do know some of the things I believe in:
- A supreme being who can be called many things including God, Allah, or Yahweh.
- We were all put here on earth for a reason and we need to grow and search for that reason.
- We should all try to lead a "moral" life. Although this may have different meanings for different people I think we can all agree on some basics like "Don't murder someone".
- I am not sure if I believe in heaven or hell (but I grew up being told I was going to burn in hell ... a long long story), but I think there is somekind of afterlife.
I guess my over riding belief is to treat others as you would want to be treated, because it will come back to you eventually.
