Hey there, I'm new!

I'm interested in religion, and am looking forward to reading about different beliefs on here. My beliefs are mixed, but based around Paganism.

Greetings!

Not too sure really, if you mean literally then googling 'religon forum' was how I came
I find religion fasciating.. I have a Muslim friend and two losely-pagan friends that I discuss topics with, but we are all the same age (young) and don't have much experience. I'd like to talk to others that may share my beliefs and learn about other people's beliefs.

I believe that god is a creation of the human mind, and the closest 'thing' that I myself could describe as god would be Nature (Mother Earth and all that). I'm unsure on materialist/inmaterialist.. looked it up, and no I do not think that material is more important than material. Material is nothing. My body is nothing. My 'soul' is me, (note: I am otherkin, meaning I idenitfy and something non-human).
Just did some more research on materialism, and I think I am an inmaterialist. I do not place importance on material objects, at all.

And I do not practice spellcraft, well.. I have done one or two rituals for protection/similar in the past, but its not something that I'm too interested in. I do not believe in praying to a higher being for help, I do not believe that there is a higher being except Nature. Yet Nature does not control us, and humans are reaching the point where Nature is being ignored totally. So in a way I am an atheist? I don't know what to call myself, or even if I want to call myself anything.

Hmm interesting. i hold similar views on some of what you said. I think you would enjoy and add a lot to the discussion in this thread http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/theological-concepts/127338-reverence-nature.html

welcome, the nature stuff sounds a bit like pantheism, its interesting you think of nature as a god like entity and still think of a "soul", the otherkin stuff is thowing me off as well. anyways, welcome to the forums, ill look forward to hearing more about your beliefs in the forums.
