How religiously well rounded are you?

[Sha'irullah]

How many religions have you converted to or studied in depth?

I myself was a Christian for many years as it was what I was taught but abandoned it at age 14 in favor if Islam then abandoned it at 16 in favor of Satanism and Paganism while learning and mildly practicing Hinduism along with it until I went in depth into Hinduism for a year roughly and stayed a mild Pagan( with strong Luciferian tendencies) afterwards. I had only constant theme with all of these religious affiliations and it was my love of the Deistic philosophy of religion which broke my interest in a lot of these religions although my love of Satanism and Arabian Paganism has long since remained although I have always been afraid to express.

What sort of affiliations have you had with religions in the past?

 

[Vinayaka]

Only one. Sorry. I couldn't vote because although I've only had one religion, it wasn't from birth. The first 18 years were with no religion.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Christianity, then...some vague SBNR New Age thing, then Buddhism, and now some sort of quasi-Buddhism.

Not much I'm afraid in regards to adopted religions.

I've studied Judaism a bit, and Hinduism, Islam, Baha'i, and LDS enough to become disinterested, and Taoism enough to be confused but perpetually intrigued.

Mormon to Atheist. Though I did dabble in Buddhism and Paganism.

I've been:

A pantheist
A Catholic
Satanist
Luciferian
Hellenic Pagan

I've considered becoming a Norse Pagan, a Thelemite and a Setian, as well. Aztec polytheism is a big interest of mine, too, since I love the Death God, Mictlantecuhtli.

....and as to how the hell you pronounce that I have no idea :thud:. But while you are at it pronounce Eyjafjallajökull

I'm not sure, either. I just pronounce it as it's spelled. I have yet to hear someone say it.

Here: Mictlantecuhtli pronunciation: How to pronounce Mictlantecuhtli in Nahuatl

That's how I figured it would be pronounced: meek-tlahn-tay-COO-tlee

That is a mouth full. As I said before, the more complex something is the more functional it is. I have no idea why that is so but it just seems to be that way.

It's only five syllables.

I wasn't really born into any religion.

I was pressured into following the motions of Roman Catholicism (all the way into performing the Eucharist) and all but scared outright into Kardecist Spiritism by my sorry excuses for parents, but it would be quite a stretch to say that I was ever an adherent of either. Particularly Spiritism, which I find outright sick.

I spent considerable time with a SAW Gnosis Occultism group, roughly from my 17 to 20 years of age. I suppose that counts, although I would not recommend it.

But my only true religion has been my Buddhism-based Dharma.

 

[StarryNightshade]

I've changed religions twice.

Was born into Christianity ->2 years with Buddhism -> currently practicing Hinduism (that's correct that I only changed twice, right?).

There was dabbling into other paths, but no real commitment.

Perspective. And a rare understanding of at least two Dharmic faiths.

 

[WonderWho]

Born into Judaism. I was only religious for a short time and then at the age of 24 followed a Bhakti path(fanatically) for 24 years.
Now no religion.

Yay!

That sounds pretty good, to me. Definitely three Dharmic faiths, though.

Although I think it's helped me... grow, I guess. My views have solidified since then, but I seem to have trouble with religiously-inclined commitment, now.

 

[Gehennaite]

What sort of affiliations have you had with religions in the past?

Age 15-19: Jehovah's Witness
Age 19-24: Unitarian Universalist

I changed religious affiliations once in my lifetime. Now I've abandoned all hope in the plausibility of theological truth. I posit that all religious systems are patently false; on the basis of how they interpret God, and especially their moral paradigms.

 

[Secret Chief]

Christian parents but never accepted Christianity as anything meaningful to my worldview. Discovered something of a match with zen, a sort of anti-philosophy. Uncomfortable with labels. And hair shirts. Wasn't sure what to vote, looked for ineffable reality but not an option!
