gnostic tradition was mostly orally passed on and with the rise of christianity kind of died out.
i know there are surviving written gnostic written works in the nag hammadi library and such, but that's theology..as for the religious rituals/traditions..those have long since passed, i think.. (correct me if i'm wrong)
i guess i identify as a(n) agnostic fideistic mystic vedantic pluralist. or something.

i don't believe in god for the same reason i don't believe in other things that don't have evidence for them.
like unicorns. or flying spaghetti monsters. or angels down the well.
still, the possibility is out there, i suppose, that they exist. so technically agnostic(?) It all depends on perspective, for me.

I don't know.
I don't do religion. I create my own beliefs based off of life experiences, perceptions, and values.
I'm stuck between dropping everything I've been taught, and having a defined religion of my own.

None.
I see teachings of different religions as interesting, and often, insightful philosophies about life, but, none that I would perscribe as my "way of life".
"God" was birthed by the human mind, not the other way around. If anything I "believe" in the potential of the human mind (of which, we don't yet fully know the limits).

Agnosticism. I don't know, I probably can't tell, and essentially I don't care.
To me personally, all the metaphysics involved in discussing the supernatural are largely academic and I'd rather think about other things. I don't really know how it's like to be religious because that's something very alien to me (and sometimes alienating). However, considering that a lot of people are, it is an important phenomenon.IN SERIO FATVITAS.
