Which Choice Best Describes Your Faith (or lack thereof)?

[Magic Man]

I consider myself an atheist, but I nearly voted for "Stanism" just because it sounds like fun.

 

[sandandfoam]

Christian. Of the variety that would have found themselves bound to a stake on top of flamable material a couple of hundred years ago.

 

[Halcyon]

I voted Buddhist, but that's not totally accurate, if the poll were set up differently I would have also chosen Agnostic and Nihilist which would come close to what I believe.

My actual "belief system" is more or less a fusion of Cosmicism and Buddhism.

 

[Phasmid]

Other - I'm an adherent to 'Don't-give-a-****ism'.

Really, really ****** off with religion lately. The God concept throws up more questions than it answers and half of science seems equally as bollocks... so... I'm completely undecided and I'm going to think about it less and less... I'm just here to see interesting topics now and throw in some thoughts.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

Tonnes of hindus

 

[Azakel]

I fall under the Pagan type too myself.

 

[Gentoo]

I'd choose two... Pagan and Native American but since they often fall under the same category, I'll choose Pagan.

 

[MoonWater]

I chose Pagan because that makes up the bulk of my beliefs and is what I would call myself when someone asks for my religious affiliation. However my religion is really a collage of many different ones. Paganism is the biggest one followed closely by equal measures of Christianity and Zen Buddhism(hence why I list them under religion) and following these three I also have elements of Native American beliefs, Alchemy, Taoism, and Chaos Magic. Because there are so many elements to it my religion doesn't really have a name so the title of "Christo-Zen-Pagan" is really more a description than anything else.

 

[Kungfuzed]

I chose other. as you did not have anything relating to necromancy. whats Stanism?

Dude, when I saw your avatar I thought you were Nutshell, then I read your post and just about fell out of my chair.

 

[Kungfuzed]

I'm actually beginning to lean very much towards Universal Unitarianism lately.

 

[Somkid]

Tough question I fit into 3 of the groups without conflict as 2 are philosophy and one in not believing in god.

 

[Sk8Joyful]

Christian-Fundamentalist, as in God/Jesus Christ follower... and a major part of this for our family,
is choosing living Open-minded as far as continually learning... new skills I/we find fascinating, especially as they relate to abstract *mind-skills*, like for example aspects of parapsychology, including 'self-healing', and natural (not drugged) mind-expansion... & development. I just value & love beneficial learning.

 

[Sk8Joyful]

sorry; dbl post

 

[painted wolf]

I try to follow, as much as I am able, the ways of my First Nations ancestors.

wa:do

 

[Nessa Nenharma]

In a very broad sense, I am Pagan. On a very defined note, I am an Eclectic Witch.:witch:

 

[Tau]

I believe in the Greater Good

Thats my explanation for my poll choice of 'Other' I could elaborate but only if requested.

 

[Smoke]

I checked Buddhist, because that most closely reflects my worldview, but Atheist/Secular/Humanist would have been equally true, and so would Quaker if it had been offered.

I consider myself an atheist, secular humanist, Quaker Buddhist. Or an atheist, secular humanist, Buddhist Quaker. Either way. I see all of those things as compatible and complementary.

 

[Scribbler]

I checked "other" because I'm not sure <sgh> .. actually I was a charismatic Presbyterian at one point in my life and have (in my own mind) comfortably extended that belief .. but can't in honesty to myself and the definition of Christianity in the mainstream churches still call my beliefs "christian".
I'm even more dedicated to the moral principles now than at any time past...that I honored as a Christian.
My research and studies haver led me to different arenas that were not made obvious to me as a church-goer.
As a classically trained scientist (BS Chemistry, USNavy training as an electronics tech, etc) .. it is not easy to throw oneself into the fray of "non-measurable" phenomena...such as "faith" , "spirit essence" and other similar ideas.
My own experience has been nothing short of shocking to my senses...I feel I now *know* that other planes of existence surround us .. my research is into finding out just how those other planes intersect and interactwith us.
I have met people, by name in my dreams and been introduced to them at a later date (for the first time) and confirmed the dreams, I have dreamt winning lottery numbers, twice, experienced an OBE during heart surgery and more similar stuff.

 

[Quagmire]

I checked "other" because I've never been quite sure if DWBHism is a religion, a philosophy, or a personality disorder.

 

[Theocan]

I don't know right now.

What I have learned from Baha'i so far seems to be very close to my beliefs, but still got to learn more about it.
