What does everyone believe

In here? I believe in Jesus Christ. That you must be born again.
As a Follower/Disciple of Jesus/Yeshua, I believe the same. I also believe that people, when they accept Jesus, need also to repent from their sins (which is somewhat more involved than just being "sorry", but to turn your whole life around to the teachings of Jesus).
I also believe that we can "plant seeds" but we can't force people to convert, we can't even force them to listen. I believe that Jesus taught that. If I were to start speaking about my faith, and the person said "stop", I would be obligated to stop.
Lastly, I get really irritated with those who are Christians who are always attacking and condemning people: Not condemning and showing mercy is a big part of Jesus' teachings.

One thing I believe is that the universe exists. I refer to the reason that there is something rather than nothing as God. I don't claim to know anything about God.

I also believe that the most important part of a living thing, and possibly every other thing, is a part of God. The metaphor I use is a drop of spray off the crest of an ocean wave. In a way, it exists separately from the ocean for a moment. But in a more real way, it is always part of the ocean. When it splashes back, in one way it ceases to exist forever. But in another way it doesn't, it continues to exist for as long as the ocean does.
Similarly, I believe that we human beings have at least three parts. Our meat, our identity, and our soul. When we die our meat returns to nature and continues the cycle. Our identity vanishes like the software and stored data when a computer is destroyed. Our soul goes back to God.

And finally, I believe that my best understanding of the Truth is just my best guess, given my limited perceptions and mental power. I'm confident that the True Reality is far beyond the abilities of any human. I am sure that we humans know, and can know, as much about "God, the Universe, and Everything" as an amoeba knows about astrophysics.

I am like this too. Except that I am not poetic like you are.

I myself don't believe in anything, to me a belief is a prison, I rather be free to think what I want, and that can change every day, life is ever flowing, to try to cling to one piece of life and make it a belie system is to live your life in a stagnant and smelly way.

I believe in the divinity of Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi.

In the other divinities/Devas who help guide us in this world.

In following our Dharma; in the form of seva, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, or Jnana Yoga. All of which will (hopefully) lead to Prapatti.

In ultimately escaping the cycle of death and reincarnation.

I believe we are far more than we dare to believe and so experience a world far short of its potential. It's a work in progress...
I've told you this a thousand times, they're not bugs, they're features, goddamn it!
 
I don't believe in the supernatural. If some kind of creator or "god" exists it is part of the natural world and does not involve itself in our affairs. Religions past and present were created by MAN for various purposes.
