What's your religion?

It's an odd label for me because I don't see the need to say 'I don't believe in a god'. Other people believe in a god. But if I didn't know about that, it would not occur to me to label myself an atheist.
Indifferent?

Neo-pagan, tree hugging God/dess worshipper.:party2:

I am God. The universe is either my mind or a product of it, I'm not sure, and I can't be. I restricted myself to the perceptions and insights of this mortal body so as to discover what it means to be "ignorant" and to "learn". My consciousness will diffuse upon death, but until then I'll just revel in that which can only be known in a state of existential ignorance. Once I return to my God state, then I'll remember what it's like to be restricted and this is how my omniscience avoids being a self-contradictory concept (or so I think).

I also realize that I still have much to learn. Words such as learning, memory, word, and God are firmly rooted in the human predicament. I simply can't understand reality for what it is while I'm alive, but I can certainly try my best.

If you're God, can I have a second set of permanent teeth and a pony? And do you spend a whole lotta time alone?

I am God too! What are the odds?

Well, since there are two of you, I want stuff from you too. Can I have a rainbow follow me in the street, and some theme music, and a pony small enough to fit in my apartment?

I have none. I was brought up as a protestant, my grandfather was a protestant priest. At the age of 9, I wanted to convert to Catholicism and started taking ehh church classes. At that time, even the thought of becoming a nun didn't seem that scary (I'm not kidding). I was a strong little believer, had a crucifix hanging over my bed and a little altar on my shelves - sang in the church choir every Sunday (non of this was forced upon me). My mother didn't go to church and neither did my brothers.

I think this was one of my first little INTP projects - after having explored it *sufficiently* for a few years, I moved on to other strange obsessions.

Well, here we may have a problem. Problems aren't bad. In fact, they're excellent opportunities to learn.

I'm not sure if I'm alone in my divinity, or if everyone who is living, has lived, and who will ever live merges into a single, timeless consciousness upon death. We could all be God, me and you could be God, or you could just be wrong. You see, you may be conscious, but if I'm the only temporary God amongst the mortals then your consciousness is nothing more than a product of my mind - the universe.

If you want to turn this discussion into a hula hooping contest, then just go ahead and say, "NO, I'M THE TRUE SOLIPSIST". If not, then perhaps you can share insight into my/our divine nature.

LaVey Satanist, as well as probably the most anti-organised religious individual youll meet.

I'm Catholic. I was born & raised Catholic but research & a lot of learning has reinforced my faith. I'm not extremely religious, but I would consider myself more religious than a lot of people my age.

I'm so much a Buddhist I can't stand it, and that all by myself. I'm quitting civilization in a year or so to live as a hermit somewhere distant until I achieve enlightenment (almost serious).

The whole reincarnation-thing is nothing I care much about though, but if it's true, then I must have been a Buddhist several lives in the past. It'd make sense.
