    Seeking a community.

    I've been to a UU church and I understand your position completely. It sounds like the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition shares some (but not all) of your beliefs (loving God, no hell, eternal soul).

    Seeking a community.

    I'm sure you can have those beliefs and attend a Unitarian Universalist church.

    Best and worst religion/philosophy books you've read?

    One of my favorites: The Book of Understanding By Osho The path to freedom is filled with questions and uncertainty. Is it possible to truly know who we are? Do our lives have a purpose, or are we just accidental? What are we meant to contribute? What are we meant to become, to create...

    Changed religion so many times, reluctant to label myself..

    It is interesting that we are on similar paths. I was a Pentecostal Christian for about 8 years, became an Atheist, then Religious Scientist, Humanist/Secular Buddhist, then Pantheist, and now Religious Naturalist/Agnostic. I just discovered Reconstructionist Judaism a few days and I've...

    Trying to move on - no longer want to practice Catholicism

    Maybe you can take this time to re-examine what you actually do believe and don't believe. The UU church is a good suggestion or even not joining another group at all. I do understand the social benefits of going to church though.

    Benefits of chanting

    I have chanted Nam Myoho Renge Kyo and Om Shanti. During both chants, I came close to tears. I am still trying to understand what is happening within me when I feel like crying during chants.

    the right religion

    I don't believe that there is only one right religion, but there may be a religion that's right for you. Most of the beliefs today are just re-edits of older religions. I cherry-pick my beliefs and I feel no remorse about it.

    Do you use mala beads for mantras etc?

    Your Gods

    I like what the Hindu deity Ganesh represents, but I don't actually believe it exists. I even bought a Ganesha statue for my house :) I don't worship any deities.

    Your Birth Religion

    I was raised in a Pentecostal Christian fundamentalist household. I know my parents meant no harm by indoctrinating me into this belief, but I came to discover through research and self-evaluation that this doctrine was not for me. There are just too many similarities with christianity and...
