Welcome to Gaia! ::

Su says that there are many true religions... because a man makes his own religion. God makes man and gives him choices and man chooses whether to believe in God...hmmm...What do you think?

heart Yes, organized religion has problems...more so every day, it seems. I took a quiz about what my religious affiliation should be based on my beliefs: brb... lol

The quiz said I was a Jewish pagan....hmmm? Wouldn't you like to know?
Well, although my grandfather married a sweet Jewish woman, when I was about 8, I am not Jewish...pagan? that's for another day....su heart

Well I am a christian, but I am also very open. I believe you should believe what you want to believe in. Good example: Jerusalem. There are three main religions there and they constantly fighting with each other. I mean seriuosly do you really think God would want you fighting over religion? Over what you believe and telling everyone else that they are wrong? I mean who are you to judge who is right and who is wrong you are not God. Let them believe what they want to and quit fighting over who the land really belongs to. Who cares if you believe in God or Buddah or whatever you will goto heaven or nirvana or whatever. The land is not improtant it's where you're going in the afterlife that does. They are probably all going to hell for even fghting about it. They should just be able to believe what they want to and live in peace with other people who believe something entirely different. I am Baptist and my friend is Penacostal, and we get along fine. But yet you put any christian, a jew, and a muslim in the same city and you have a war. It makes no scense to me.

I have been to many "churches" and have been pagan, too. I feel like we need to recognize some higher power. This was not all an accident. I don't believe that all of creation happened by chance. I believe that there is a almighty God and He has a son who died for our sins. .....

That's because although the baptist church and the pentacostal church are different denominations that believe some different things and teach some different things, they also believe some of the same things, such as Jesus died for our sins. Jews and Muslims don't necessarily believe that. But I am like you. Why do the different religions have to kill each other just because of what the other believes? That's why I'm not an overly big fan of organized religion.
To my way of thinking, there has been more bloodshed in history in the name of religion than for any other reason. Now, I do believe that there is a higher power ruling over our lives, but that's about it.

I'm pagan and proud.

I'm not going to start ranting on about how much I dislike some faiths, not the faith as a whole just the extreemist factions with the exception of catholiscim...I dislike that as a whole for personal reasons I will not discuss here....being the only pagan in a catholic 6th forjm college for two years really sucked but it was so fun questioning everything (yay for A-level philosophy and ethics)

Hmm I don't really know how to explain my path really. Some would call me a dragon adept, others a dragon magician and others still a celtic shaman. My practices are more shamanic in nature than those of various cemermonial (Gardinerian wicca) or hermetic paths (Order of the Golden Dawn). I work with elemental and draconic energies and dedicate my workings to the Celtic pantheon and I have The Morrigan as my patron. There is no easy way to sum up what I follow.

Yes, it is. A higher power is the basis for most religions.

I just don't like the religious people who try to force their beliefs on you, tell you you're not going to heaven because you're not such and such religion, or tell gay people they're sinful..I have a gay friend and if anyone told him that I'd hurt them so bad. I don't think it's right just cause they prefer different sex to tell them they're evil or not going to heaven. What right do they have to say that, afterall, they're not God.
