hey, DS.
beginning the search for a meaningful and cohesive belief system can be one of the most exciting things a person can do.
every time save one i've been drawn to exploring and even committing to a new faith, i'd ask myself "can i see this being true? does this make sense to me?" and go based on that.
from what i hear, a lot of people move from one faith to a new one based on this creteia, at least in part. reading a good deal never hurts. i'd suggest going back to the scriptures (if applicable) of that faith to see what the faith's founder originally said, did, taught, etc.
and sometimes the truth is not what we expected it to be.

Perfect. Everything else is just individual differences. That sentence states the nub of it.
I couldn't agree more

Thanks for all the kinds words and well wishing, folks. I've really been enjoying simply reading about Wicca over the past week. I've done a few energy, visualization and meditation practices as well as a self-initiation. It's all very new and very exhilarating. I kind of feel stronger in myself because it is something I feel I can believe in. I've a long way to go but it's a heck of an adventure!

What an odd way to put that. I know you don't mean to say being a Wiccan is settling in any way.
Have you tried the Belief-O-Matic, Dr? Belief-O-Matic - Beliefnet.com

Its only a Label
Friend Trey of Diamonds,
Sorry, if that hurt.
It was/is not intentional as just wanted to state that out of all others you have selected one [anyone] as all are labels; the response that am looking for Friend Doctor Strange are the one's mentioned after that sentence which you have read for sure.
Love & rgds

I'm almost always a Sikh on there!
Sikhism, Hinduism and Reform Judaism are quite popular with me, apparently.

"I have studied the scriptures of the great religions, but I do not find elsewhere the same power of appeal to the heart and mind as I find here in these volumes. They are compact in spite of their length and are a revelation of the concept of God to the recognition and indeed the insistence upon the practical needs of the human body. There is something strangely modern about these scriptures and this puzzled me until I learned that they are in fact comparatively modern, compiled as late as the 16th century when explorers were beginning to discover the globe upon which we all live is a single entity divided only by arbitrary lines of our making. Perhaps this sense of unity is the source of power I find in these volumes. They speak to a person of any religion or of none. They speak for the human heart and the searching mind.
The hymns in Guru Granth are an expression of mans loneliness, his aspirations, his longings, his cry to God and his hunger for communication with that being. It speaks to me of life and death; of time and eternity; of temporal human body and its needs; of the mystic human soul and its longing to be fulfilled; of God and the indissoluble bond between them."

It is apparently you are confused so much .I am thinking mankind should find out themselves in the inner side .Inner side of mankind helps to figure it out the way they should go .Most of the time inner side invites people to wish reaching God .Wishing reach God is the entirely unique solution for mankind

I would say for you to become apart of the religious movement of the New Age. What you do is take alot of beliefs from other religious that you like, put them together and call it what you want.

You need to wish reaching God before death .
