Have you read your posts recently....?

My way of posting changed?

Could be...

Maybe because I feel at home here, then I show my true self...

and I got fed up with all the useless discussions.

I'm a Catholic Roman not only because I was raised in this religion but because I'm convinced that 90% of what our Church prieches is truth.

But I have the most respect for all other believes or disbelieves, once in Jerusalem I prayed in a Mosque and several times I went to Jewish ceremonies (invited by friends) like marriages and also maintained the same level of respect.

I can't understand a religion that teaches peopole to hate every one who doesn't share your faith, specially because I believe every religion worships the same God even when their perspective are different.

To be honest, I need help. I was raised as an Anglican Christian, but I've become a bit disillusioned with the whole thing. It just doesn't mean much to me. But, I WANT to find something that does...does anyone relate?

Yes but you´ve got to have faith !!

Yes we are , but we can have a party in hell 

I voted for buddhism. I'm not quite buddhist yet, but I was always agnostic, but I chose buddhism cuz im getting more interested in buddhism, I might become one most likely.

In my family I could recognize so far the traditional adherence to Islam, Serbian Orthodox Church, Roman Catholicism and Evengelical Christianity. This adherence, to my knowledge, was more cultural than practising one.

I was raised atheist/humanist by my parents and by the so-called socialist society, but never really "accepted" that one and was disillusioned.

I am more of a sceptic, but consider myself a "spiritual" person of some sort. While I do not have a high esteem of the organized religion, I am engaged in academic study of religion(s) as a sociological phenomenon.

I can recognize sometimes a form of religiosity among the music fans, there is something pure spiritual going on in listening to your fav album

wow, old poll. i'm glad its been revived!

yeah, i think a lot of people find ways to fulfill their spiritual needs without conventional religion, and i think i would fall into this category. i find spiritual fulfillment through 1) art and 2) relationships. I find the feelings and meaning that I draw from those two things propel me to further myself and give me joy in life. I, for one, could never find spiritual fulfillment through god, society, or country.

I'm a Christian (Church of England).
