    My father is Jewish.
    My mother is Christian.
    I'm more like my father... :)

    How about you?
    Zen Baptist.
    We believe in the oneness of the universe, but we don't dance.

    Raised Christian but now Pagan/Wiccan with emphasis on Greek and Egyptian Gods.

    Like Christianity and it's different branches, does Pagganism have different branches? I noticed you said Greek and Egyptian Gods. My husband's former boss said she was Paggan and he asked what she believed and she replied "not Christianity".

    i'm really proud of this thread it is very calm :) First one in a while i've seen

    I agree. I think it's great that people of all beliefs are able to talk about it in a very civilized and candid way. Good to know not everything has be an argument and that there are still people out there who don't get offended by every little thing.

    I don't really believe in organized religion.

    I like God but I'm skeptical of God's existence.

    I just believe in living a kind life and being your own judge of situations around you. To me, nothing is right or wrong.

    Paganism covers any a nature based religion. There are many branches such as druids and wiccans. Different pagans may also follow a similar structure but worship different pantheons such as Celtic, Norse, Egyptian, Roman or Greek deities.

    Most Pagans but not all tend to follow a similar calender with special dates such as Yule ( December) , Samhain (October 31st), Beltaine (Mayday) which tend to celebrate certain nature based events - Just had Oestra which celebrates Srpring.

    I am a Christian but go to the Baptist church. My mother died 2 years ago and my dad last August. My husband and I took care of them for many years. It was hard work but we were blessed.

    You still trying to come up with a name for your religion. Keep looking. Jesus doesn't matter what the name is just as long as you believe in him.

    Born and raised in the evangelical community....now I find my spirituality to be far more productive and rewarding than following a specific religion or doctrine. My most profound spiritual experiences have taken place among the pines in the mountains or out on the water...or even just running my jogging trail...never in a confined church and never have they had anything to do with any one specific deity.

    I had already responded that I am Baptist. I just wanted to add that I have enjoyed this thread very much. I hope it continues.


    That's really good to hear! I'm glad I did it! :)

    Is "none" an option? :)

    And last time I was on here with my old account, they had made it so you can post things like this, but usually a mod would pop in letting everyone know to keep it civil and that these conversations were "better suited" for the groups.

    This one seems to be doing a really good job. I think it's because OP asked what your religion is, not WHY your religion is. When people get into explanations they can start looking down on others' religions. Nice job, OP!

    Thank you!
    I would never ask why, that would be a terrible mistake, considering the fact that religion is already a controversial topic.
    A lot of people are asking me why I have chosen this topic, I did it because I truly believe that by doing so you are breaking what is known as a Taboo. I know that it doesn't have anything to do with fitness - I know that - but neither has that topic about how sexy the person above you is. That is what makes this site so interesting, I was trying to take it to another level. That way you are expressing your opinion without being judge - so far - and you are also "bonding" in a certain way.
    I was setting a precedent to other interesting topics.
    I'm not imposing anything to anyone. I truly believe that everyone is feeling free to comment on this topic without being afraid of what the others will think. Whether we want it or not, religion has a huge role in today's society, is it so wrong to openly talk about it?
    Everyone is doing a great job keeping this an educate discussion!
    Thank you for that! :)

    I am a Sunni Muslim Revert... I was raised Lutheran, but always had questions, and doubts. In 2012 I made my reversion to Islam official, though I had minored in it in college in 2007. It was always in me, I just needed strength to publicly declare it.

    After looking through a few pages I feel like the only Muslim on here- lol.

    Barakah (blessings) to all in your goals
