Intresting. He was a Congregationalist. I don't know much about that church. He was devout!

I'm more spiritual than religious. Organized religion doesn't make much sense to me. I don't believe in Creationism, so that kind of screws any Western belief. I think a lot of Eastern concepts are interesting. I believe that there is sort of an oversoul, like the brahman in Hindu... a general spirit that is all around us, but not necessarily making any decisions. Just sort of a life power. I think that Western thought has raised humans to a supreme level, but I think humanity in general is foolish and makes bad decisions, and that we are no better than elephants or ants or trees. I guess I just think a lot about everything. I'm proud of that, though.
When I have children, I would like to raise them in a Unitarian Universalist type of church... one that recognizes the value in all religions, and allows for many beliefs and theories. I want my kids to know what facts and thoughts are out there, and allow them to be fully educated so that when they are mature enough, they can make a decision on what to believe.

Practicing Jew (Reform denomination)...DF is a non-practicing Lutheran and would probably describe himself as agnostic. We are planning on creating a Jewish household and raising our children as Jews.

Isn't that translated as, "Hear O Isreal, the Lord our God, the Lord is one."??

The Shema is the Jewish statement of our belief in G-d. The translation I have is: "Hear, O Israel: the Eternal One is our G-d, the Eternal G-d alone!" (taken from The Gates of Prayer, an egalitarian book) It is a very important piece of Jewish life, not just during the liturgy.

[VSL]

I chose 'Christian'.

I was Christened as a baby.

Now I think of myself as a Quaker (which probably had its early roots in Christianity), although I'm not 'practicing'.

 

[MouseWorshipin]

what is a Agnostic?

An agnostic is on the fence about whether God exists. They think "maybe, maybe not." Athiests are absolutely positive that God does not exist.

I live the new tv spot for the UMC- the one where people are "ejected" from a church and ends with "God does not reject anyone". I thought it was such a cool ad!

 

[LuluLovesDisney]

I am a lapsed Catholic with a deep interest in many religions. Those that resonate with me the most are Unitarian Universalism and Zen Buddhism.

I love meditating, praying, reading, learning, etc. and any religion that would be a good fit for me would have to allow/encourage learning and exploration and self discovery, which both UU and ZB do. It would also have to focus on works rather than faith, because I believe it is natural to question, not a sin. I believe that what counts is what you do.

I also am very interested in the possibility of reincarnation since I have experienced a few things which have made me accept it as a strong possibility. I still enjoy the ritual/history of Catholicism but there are too many things I do not agree with and I do attribute part of my insecurity/neuroses to my Catholic education.
