What do you believe in?
I believe in spirits and such. Really just my own stuff. I don't exactly have a religion.

Religion wise I was brought up as Catholic, I know..  But I don''t exactly go to church since I left my primary school (we used to have mass every week). I don't think anyone cares anymore except for my Grandma who goes to church every Wednesday... As for other 'beliefs' I believe in ghost..a little too much. Haha. ;D |

I'm Christian/Buddhist, but I'm not those overbearing, CLEANSE YOUR SOUL types xP. All religions are acceptable in my book.
I believe everyone has their own God or belief and can reach heaven or wherever their beliefs may take them, whether their Christian or not.
Lawl, the reason why I'm Christian/Buddhist is that I believe in God and reincarnation...I may go into that later if anyone is interested xD;[/size]

I am like Kotomi, but scratch the buddhist part lol.
In my book, every religion is accepted but I personally am a christian and believe in the Almighty and such. Doesn't mean I shove my faith down other peoples throats.

G'day, I was brought up Catholic, but from an early age knew that neither Catholicism nor Christianity were for me. After a spiritual journey of many years, including many where I believed in nothing at all, I eventually became interested in the Eastern Traditions which then led me to Buddhism. In October 1998 I took provisional refuge, later taking more formal refuges and precepts in a simple but beautiful ceremony at a local Centre, and have been a practising and engaged Buddhist ever since.

To kinda cover it all, I believe that, until science can explain everything, it's more than okay to attribute it to some spiritual force.
More specifically...I'm agnostic. I'd prefer to at least think there MIGHT be something out there, 'cause it's a Hell of a lot more comforting than thinking there's absolutely nothing. Most organized religions have those zealous members that aren't fanatic enough for cults, but enough to make people want to be atheistic. But on the other hand, many atheists annoy me by claiming that religion is horribly flawed in every single way and their followers have no right to try to convert other people blah blah blah, and, ironically, that everybody should be an atheist (note that while I'm sure there are decent atheist folks out there, I have yet to meet one.)
As for the creation of humanity...I combine Evolution and Intelligent Design, because I never really understood why they couldn't coexist. I'm willing to accept the possibility that the "missing link" may actually be a bit of genetic manipulation.
...Maybe by aliens >_>

I am just spiritual but not a big fan of organized religion. I like to believe God is uber progressive.

I beleive in the uber-mensch. Just kidding  I'm Agnostic with Luciferian icing and a sprinkle of Discordian. Mish-mash, hodge-podge. I take little things from every religion. I used to be a hardcore christian. I used to be Nihilist (please no). Energy is something that I can definitely beleive in. You can taste people's energy - read them. I don't, however, beleive in a god (unless he/she is imperfect and very shy). |

I'm a little bit of everything. I've got Christian background, so some Christianity(love your neighbor...) I kinda believe in God, but even if he was real i'd never worship the guy. Reincarnation, evolution, and some Jainism(don't think i'd be able to do the celibacy thing).

I don't follow any religion but if i had to chose one that i could relate to best, it would be wicca/paganism. I love the natural aspect of it all. And i like the acceptance of science, other faiths and love I love the freedom x |

My family isn't religious. I guess that's called Agnostic. It's not like we say there isn't a God but...whatever.
I believe in animism.
And I have my own belief: I believe in Paradise.

I grew up with two Wiccan parents, one pagan turned Christian, and one Baptist parent. I believe that religion is ultimately personal and cannot be the same for everyone, since nobody has the same experiences. Call that what you'd like.

I'm mostly atheist, but I live with the acute sense that nothing is smaller than a human. I also live by a strict set of ethics and moral codes, and feel genuine in knowing that I am a good person because I want to be for myself and those around me, not because a man in the sky commands it.
The religious spend their time doing deeds to have bliss the next life, the non-religious spend their time being blissful in this one.
