So, what do you believe?

No religion.. but that doesn´t make me less spiritual. I like many things in every religion, but I´m more inclined to Hinduism and Buddhism.

Hi
I guess I am the other Buddhist. I am a Nichiren Buddhist, a member of SGI (Soka Gakkai International).

Are there any other Nichiren Buddhists out there? If you are one please pm me.

Thank you.

I choose not to affiliate myself with any one religion, while still remaining spiritual, to a certain extent

I too took that road for 20 some years. I got tired and then found my faith, and I love my faith, the people, and the practice.

I have found true happiness, I hope you find what is right for you. If you wish to talk, just pm me.

Glad to see you have found a path you enjoy.

I'm a Seventh-Day Adventist Christian... I don't know how many of us are left. I'm not gonna say anything about other religions, cuz honestly I don't really know about other religions. I have found my faith, and I believe that it has a firm foundation. I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so here's mine.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born as a human child, lived a human life, battled sin, gave the ministry of life, and was crucified for all sin. I believe that anyone who calls on Him and asks for forgiveness will be forgiven. I won't say that my faith hasn't been shaken, because it has, but I will choose to believe in my God, and I won't let anyone take that from me.
I'm sure it prolly won't mean much to most, but if anyone ever gets the chance, check out the book More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell. There's a chapter or two in there where it talks about proof that the Bible is true. I know I can't make people believe me, and I'm sad to say that I don't expect them to. Sorry for my little rant 🙂

well said! everything you said is true. clap

Hm. Religion. Between religion and economy, it is a small wonder the human species exists anymore.

I'm agnostic... I'd like to believe, but I need more proof, really. Faith is not for everyone, of course. I get through life just fine witho- erm... Hm. Okay, I won't lie. lol... But seriously... any religion is only worth how much you put into it. I can claim Christianity or Islam or The Church of Little People and it doesn't mean a thing unless I am true to those ideals and those ideals are in accord with a higher moral law.

But before I get long-winded (More so) I'll have to say I give Buddhists credit for being the only religion (So far as I know) to not cause a war.

faith is never about proof. it is about believing something that isn't there, that is true faith.

But everyone is welcome to their beliefs......

Christianity has a little bit of proof. I even believe the history channel had something about it.

it sure does, the history channel talks alot about this.

Not true.....I don't mess with anyones mind....we are all part of the collective....So, I'd be messin with my own too... 😄

I did attend a SDA church for over 3 years...I felt that they followed more closely to what scripture taught then any other denomination....But once I stepped out of THAT BOX

...and....Well............myths....Mithra....etc...Studying other religions other than the ones I studied before...First I studied all the Christian denominations....then I went to religions outside of "The Christian Faith." I looked at all the pre trib, mid, trib, post trib...dispensations taught by the churches.......OH..Messianic Jews.....But now I'm rambling.....

Then......I became quite disturbing..............A Heretic.....I talk to trees now.....

Why weren't the Gnostic's included...
Yes Constantine changed the 4th commandment, but he also changed many other things that are not mentioned by the church...like which texts would and wouldn't be included....the mysterious deaths before votes on important issues concerning Jesus...and his divinity...

I would suggest studying all the councils....and get your information from all sources....Christian, and non Christian.....then do your homework...

And then you can be someone special too.. 📖 😑

So you're something of an omnitheologian then? 😉

I dislike categories, but in response to the original thread question I'll define myself as an empirically agnostic secular humanist. I suppose I go in the "other" category.
