That's me in the corner...that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion

[mxdluv_21376]

My belief system needs some work, and that will take time. Many things of the Christian faith disturb me, and it's starting to turn me away. I am not saying I am ready to convert to something new at the moment, but I am curious about other beliefs & ways of life.

Those of you who study/practice anything other than Christianity (Judaism, Buddhism

www.religioustolerance.com is the BEST website ever. They have every single kind of belief system (or lack thereof) in the world practically. I love it.

Thanks! ♥

I think the first question that needs to be answer is. Why believe?
There is every bit as much proof the Christian God exists as any of the Pagan/Wiccan concepts, Islam's Allah, The God of the Jews, the Plethora of Hindi Gods. Which is to say there is none at all.

faith P Pronunciation Key (fth)
n.
1. Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.
2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. See Synonyms at belief. See Synonyms at trust.
3. Loyalty to a person or thing; allegiance: keeping faith with one's supporters.
4. often Faith Christianity. The theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will.
5. The body of dogma of a religion: the Muslim faith.
6. A set of principles or beliefs.

If I told you I drove an F1 McLaren(multi-million dollar super car), but never let you see it. Would you believe me??? Should you believe me?? I should think not

I ma seriously thinking of taking the challenge because the more I think about Christianity (as a whole), the more confused and upset I get.

Many people have gotten upset with me because I don't push going to church on my sons. I figure, when they are old enough, they can decide what is right and what is wrong to them when it comes to religious issues. I think that is best in their overall development.

Hi- I'm a friend of Tim Makowski and I noticed your post. I am new age pagan mixed with some xtian since I was raised pentecostal till age 10. My practices with magick are more closely matched with catholocism but I'm not catholic. I consider myself pagan only because I read tarot and do astrology which is banned by some parts of the bible. I added you as a friend- you sound like an interesting person :-)

As for a website.... http://www.beliefnet.com has a quiz you can take to see what religion fits you best. Happy hunting, and feel free to add me back as a friend- I don't mind any friend of tim's is a friend of mine.

And sure, I would love to add you as a friend! *hugs*
