What religion are you, if any? Also, has you sexual orientation affected your religion or religious views? If so, how?
I am Christian - Episcopalian and being bisexual has actually strengthened my belief in God. I very firmly believe that Jesus is the son of God and that we will be forgiven of all our sins and already are forgiven. My sexuality has strengthened my beliefs in the fact that God accepts us as we are, mainly because he made us and he loves us for who we are.
Anyone else?
(btw I have NO problem with atheists, or people of other religions, so don't be afraid to speak out!)

I'm a Catholic, and my sexuality hasn't really affected my religious views.
I know that God created us and that Jesus is the son of God, and that he loves us no matter what. I already knew that since a long time ago.
God created us to love each other and that is what I am doing. If people don't agree with me, then okay. I'm fine with that.
(I also have no problem with other religions.)

I am Christian too and a strong believer too but I don't care if being bi gay or a les is a sin ... after all that's the way I am ... that's the way God made me so ... besides he says that we should love each other but love doesn't come with the gender if u know what I mean ^^

What I am really doesnt have a name as far as i know the closest thing would be pagan or wiccan. I believe everything has some kind of elemental spirit. All those spirits are divided into wind water fire and air and spirit. There is a ruler for each element. It is really complicated and astrology is a big part of it the zodiac too

well, i'm raised catholic, but i don't agree with religion as an institution, so i guess i'm just kinda someone who believes in god but practices my beliefs on my own. church is alright once in awhile, but i just can't agree with all of the animocity towards other peoples (and whenever there's some type of voting like on prop 8 or 4 or the presidential elections, at my church, they try to control what you vote on, so i stay away then)

I'm christian, but I don't really go to church. I believe that your relationship with God is a personal thing, and shouldn't have to be shared. My sexuality hasn't been affected with what I believe in, but if it ends up that all bi's do go to hell, I'm going to be very upset

I'm am an atheist, for these reasons:
1. There's so many religions out there these days I don't know what to believe.
2. I never went to a church of any kind when I was little, nor do I now.
3. I believe that there are people out there who have their religion rule their lives and I do not like that.
4. I don't mind any religion and I am not going to pick one over the other.
5. I believe one can have proper morals without religious beliefs.

I'd go by pagan I guess. Base off the ancient greek gods/goddesses, but nothing devoted to for rituals or tradions.

I'm not really anything as of now.
I've dabbled in the Pagan/ Wiccan religion and actually really liked it. But I am not a practicing as of now.
I was raised as Catholic though and up until grade 8 I believed in God... but realized many things.
My main one being that I was tied down to a religion that didn't accept me and that there was no proof of this God everyone always spoke of.
That is when science really came into play into the view of the world I lived on.

I must also add that I am not the typical christian. I believe in reincarnation, and i believe that the world as we know it is what we conceive as 'hell'. "Hell is actually NOT a christian concept. It is true that God outcast Satan, those who rebelled against Him, and those angels who fell (fallen angels or as the bible words it, those who left their original domain), but that place is not hell. We as humans are regarded higher than angels, including and especially Satan and his followers, so a loving God would never send us to be with them no matter how 'bad' we were. I believe if we don't make it to heaven we are just sent back to the earth without any sense of our previous life to live again and try to get to be with Him. For all I know, I could be an ancient Egyptian Princess xd .

My religion is hard to name. i believe that i trust mostly on the quakers views; where we all have an inner light that'll help us experience god. but i also believe that god created us on how he sees us. My being bisexual has given me different religious beliefs, but i've never let my orientation lower my standards or change the way i view life.
