That I'm my own god.

It's correct; and it doesn't make me get up on Sunday mornings.

The connection with my ancestors and by extension with all of creation.

That's actually a good question for me.
Hmm....
I'd have to say my favorite part about my personal beliefs is the fact that I'm creating them. (Yes, I admit, I'm "creating" my gods
) I'm a very creative person with a love of mythologies of any kind, and it's nice to have one I can call my own.

That it is true...

Well, who isn't going to say that about their own religion?

What I love most about my religion is that it acknowledges that the truth is unknowable.

I don't really care much for my lack of religion, other than that I feel like I'm right, but so does everyone...
I guess that I like that I don't have to follow any religious rules about life, like marriage things, making sure to please god and whatnot... I'll just do what I feel like doing.

Another hand here. As I have said in another thread I am 99.99% sure that my religion is wrong especially about my mythology but probably most other aspects as well.

Why is it your religion if you are so sure that it is wrong?? That doesn't make sense.
Because I'm 99.99% sure that every other religion(and lack of religion) is wrong too
. Most of the "wrongness" comes mainly from my mythology, my views of the afterlife and enlightenment and how I view the divine... things like that. I still believe them because, despite how sure I am of my "wrongness" it's still the best explanation I've been able to come up with so far as to why we're here, what happens when we die, etc. If I or someone else offers me a "better" explanation or provides with proof that such and such is actually right than I'll change my views. But then it's not really a big deal as my mythology and all that other stuff plays only a very minor role in my religion and thus is only a very minor part of who I am. That is to say I could turn staunch atheist right now and still hold the same morals, ethics, and philosophies and still act much in the same way I do now. For me it's all about the journey, the rest is just window dressing.But making no sense is oh so much fun

Well, why not have no religion then... Just say "I don't know," and leave it at that??
Looking for new recruits. lol
I DO say "I don't know". I don't KNOW anything when it comes to my religion and how I view things. I only believe. The reason I go beyond "I don't know" to try and find my own answers is because I have a thirst for knowledge and personal exploration which creates in me a desire to find the answers. I may never find them and the answers I come up with in my life may be way off the mark, but to not even try would go against who I am and it would feel like I'm placing a glass ceiling over my own personal growth and evolution. In fact, I feel that mankind itself would not be where it is now if it simply settled for "I don't know".
