    not a christian, but i love everything the christ said and try to follow it.

    not a buddhist, but i try to liberate my mind.

    not a taoist, but i try to operate under principles of balance and flow.

    not a witch (anymore), but i understand personal power and what "magic(k)" is.

    not a jedi, but i wish i was.

    flying spaghetti monster is cool.

    studied a lot of different stuff. tried to find a satifying system. failed--now i just do my own thing. it's like building your own pizza: nobody makes one that has all the stuff on it that i like and none of the stuff i don't like, so i do it all myself. don't like it? good. i don't have to share.

    So, if you were busy and your mother and brothers came to speak with you, you would tell them to buzz off?

    I'm Agnostic, as I think it's arrogant to assume there is nothing beyond the comprehension of mankind, but I don't believe in any specific deity or entity.

    This, however sometimes I lean more towards Athiest, other times I contemplate becoming a Druid, lol

    I have rather strange religious beliefs. I believe we are here on earth to learn lessons our soul needs to learn, whether it be patience, tolerance, etc. Call it re-incarnation or whatever, but I believe we can choose to live more than one life if we want to grow further. I'm Christian, but not. Meaning, I believe in god but I believe the bible is a book of stories written to teach lessons to THAT era's people, not a hard core guide for today's living. I don't believe sitting in church for 1 hour on Sunday means more than HOW YOU ACT the other 167 hours of the week.

    The Lord of Light... I've seen what he can do on HBO!

    I wish.

    But really, I'm agnostic... :P

    I go between being earthly religious and thinking that we are all just an alien experiment...like a bunch of lab rats. Maybe they watch us from their base inside the moon. Or has anyone ever looked into the brain in a vat theory...scary ****.

    Or perhaps we are a simulation designed by our future selves. Like the Sims Game, just on a more magnificent level.

    Ancient Astronaut Theorist here ......Don't really believe in any "organized religion" of any kind, or "heaven" or "hell". I just do my best to be a good person every day of my life. And when I pass, I will become part of this earth eventually.

    Why do you believe all that? Anyone can say "I believe" but why do they believe? Did you have a vision? Do you believe your mum had a vision? Your pastor? Or did you just decide that you believe, because you don't like the idea of not believing?

    What is your basis for belief?

    I do like your 167 hours. The measure of a person is what they do, regardless of where they were on Sunday morning.

    My thoughts combine Christianity and Buddhism with a smattering of Taoism and everything else. I take a Bruce Lee approach to religion.

    Strangely, if I posted this on another forum I frequent, it'd be about 3 posts before someone would reply "I don't have any invisible friends nor do I believe in fairy stories".

    There are equally balanced, logical people here so why it doesn't happen so quickly I don't know.

    I don't follow a religion, I follow Christ and to me, that is beginning to feel like the alternative spiritual path, interesting thread :-)

    I believe in a higher spiritual power. I do reiki (Asian form of energy healing), and I meditate quite often. I have recently started rediscovering my meti roots (I'm a bi-product of residential schools) and I was raised Catholic. I am slowly learning how to send and receive love and light, see auras and sense spirits. Sounds flaky I know, and trust me it's a hell of a trip.

    How about tolerant and mostly non-judgemental (it would be a lie to say that I am totally non-judgmental, as I haven't met anyone that is truly non-judgemental) Southern Baptist?
