My own spirituality is still evolving much, but at current I identify as Christopagan. I view myself as monotheist, believing in one God/Goddess (I used the gendered names interchangeably), where there are possible other facets/faces of God represented in minor other deities or demigods. I worship Jesus Christ in this sense, as a benevolent and compassionate face of Jesus, believing in forgiveness and seeing the possibility of all people to transcend as Jesus did.
So it is difficult sometimes to call myself Christian these days, because there is a HUGE stigma with it. I more often call myself Pagan, just because it's easier to explain than Christopagan, and doesn't have the stigma of Christianity. Christopagan is the most accurate though.
Sexuality has also become a big part of my spirituality. I believe sex to be sacred, and thus must be celebrated and revered in such a manner with compassion, understanding, wisdom, benevolence, and love. I can tell more if anyone is interested. But I'm probably off to bed tonight.

I'm an Atheist so i'm not religious. But spirituality, I have no clue about but I think things like auras, chakras, fortune telling, tarot cards, psychics and other such stuff is a lot of fun. I'd love to meet someone really into this sort of stuff and play around with what they can do. My life revolves around physical realiy. I really have no need or want to believe in something that blatantly doesn't exist.

LadyVIolence I'm an Atheist so i'm not religious....I really have no need or want to believe in something that blatantly doesn't exist. We will do a lot of self-study and "playing around" in the paranormal subforum to come later in the week.

I was born and raised catholic but have since risen above Christianity. The only thing that remains of my previous "religion" are Jesus' words on how you should treat others.
I consider myself a Gaian, we come from the earth, we return to the earth. We are forever part of the Earth.

I too was raised Catholic and no longer follow the faith, but still believe in some of its moral guidelines.

I also wanted to add that I should have checked other Pagan because I fit the definition, but I am not comfortable with the term pagan as it was used by christians to demonize those that didn't worship jesus

I'm not ure if this is up there, and even if I did know if it was, I wouldn't kno what it's called. but I beeive completely in karma and destiny and I beleive there it a mathematic equation to all of it. And if somebody were to figure it out, they could plot out the results of any action. There's a pattern and a discerning equation to it all. ( I probably spelled "equation" wrong but oh well -shrug- )

IM Wiccan because growing up I went to church with my parents and grandparents. I never recieved that calling to Christ like everyone else seemed to . Then when I started reading about Wicca, I guess it just made more sense to me. That's how I became Wiccan.

When you're growing up, you go to church and Sunday school because your parents tell you to go and you grow up doing the same thing becuase that's how you where raised.

Then when I started reading about Wicca, I guess it just made more sense to me. That's how I became Wiccan. That is how it happened for me. I never found the calling that everyone else had and wiccan just sparked a...spark in me.
