I'm technically supposed to be a strong healer, but I never know how to act around people, so it's kinda useless... Once I filled the room with positive energy by accident, but only because I felt a bunch of energy I didn't like, some guys were being racist to a girl I knew. I felt her energy, and she seemed uncomfortable, so I said something, released a bunch of positive energy, and she later thanked me for it. This was early on in my journey tho, so I didn't even know that's what I did until later, but I can't do that anymore. I can't just feel people like that. I mean, I can, but I guess I don't know what to do about it? I just have some social issues, people aren't my forte right now...

That's the most creative way of confessing to farting I've ever seen

EXACTLY!

I didn't want to say anything, but I'm glad you did 

The Roman Catholic Church wasn't founded until the after the European kingdoms actually formed o3o

[Nyactis Mewcis Catlum 672]

Huh, I swear I answered something like this before. Anyway, I'm an atheist.

[The Recherche 29,968]

Though I do not have a religion that I abide by, I am a deist. Long story short, it's the idea that the universe has a creator of some kind, but said creator does not intervene in the universe itself. Basically, the deist God is an onlooker.

[Messy Mane 9,032]

I reply to too many of these.

I'm Roman Catholic.

Don't know why,Don't care much.

[Thuja 3,659]

I identify as a pagan but I like to read into other religions(christianity excluded) and try to learn from them to improve my own spirituality.  I don't pray that often though, nor do I identify with one particular pantheon.  I'm also Anishinaabe, so that's where most of my spirituality is, I'm still trying to learn though...

[Monsoon 1,662]

I would like to say I'm agnostic but I mean more to being an atheist just because I look for any form of evidence which is credible which is why I like science 

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

Celestianism. Praise the sun! 

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I think I'd be a follower of Celestianism. Look! They even have commandments! 

1. Celestia is your ruling Princess and Teacher, you shall not follow any orders or teachings that contradict hers or that you feel in you heart she would judge to be wrong.
2. You shall be honest in all words and deeds.
3. You shall be kind towards all creatures and not cause any unnecessary harm or be rude.
4. You shall spread laughter in the world and be cheerful if possible.
5. You shall be generous in all things and share with those in need your time and possessions.
6. You shall be loyal to your friends and all those you feel deserving of your loyalty, even in hard times, as long as doing so does not contradict Celestias teachings.
7. You shall seek and find the magic of friendship and honour it.

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

When people ask me if I'm religious, I give the "Well, yes and no" answer. Yes I'm a Christian, but no, I am not hardcore religious at the same time...if that makes any sense.

I'm a pretty active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, though I think I may already have mentioned that in a number of other topics. 

[Cash In 22,328]

I was born a Catholic, but I'd consider myself agnostic these days. No real reason, other than my own beliefs and being completely disillusioned with religion as a whole.

[The Historian 516]

Atheist. Primary because I find most religions to be an absolute plague to humanity and does little more than hold us to the Dark Ages.

Heh, I saw that page before and it was clearly written as a joke. But, as a spiritual path I'm much more comfortable with Ponies than anything else, and I've done a LOT of wandering through religions in my life. Not that spiritualism is the same thing as religion, but you get the idea. Logically that falls under Eclectic Pagan though, which technically what I am.

I don't believe in a God that automatically and irredeemablely sends homosexuals to Hell. That's the interpretation of Him that I won't agree with.

God is supposed to be the God of Love and Peace who loves His Children no matter who They love.

I agree with you!

I am a Christian...I believe in God and in accepting and loving everyone, no matter what they themselves believe in, no matter their sexuality, etc. 

[The Historian 516]

Atheist. I want nothing to do with religion of any stripe.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

My religion is Christianity, and the Christian denomination I'm in is Baptist.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I'm a Christian, and the reason why is because I was raised in a Christian family and because I think Christianity is the only correct religion.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I'm an atheist, and this why question really does not make sense to me. I'm pretty sure I'm an atheist, because I don't believe in any gods.

 

Though I suppose I'm slightly agnostic in the sense I don't outright deny the possibility of their existence. I just don't believe in it.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

My religious beliefs are very unusual, I think. I grew up in a strongly LDS family (my mom's side of the family has been a part of that religion since its founding in the 1800's or something), and while I wouldn't consider myself a part of that anymore, I still believe everything that religion teaches to be true. Just because I think it's correct doesn't mean I think it's morally right, though. I refuse to worship a God who claims to be merciful and love everyone, yet lets the world get into the state it's in and allows great people who have done nothing wrong to suffer physically and mentally to the point where they either wither away or decide death is a preferable alternative to life. There are many other reasons, but I'm not going to ramble on about all of them. I'm not my dad.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

I'm an atheist in the sense that I'm unconvinced of an all knowing being that governs the universe.

However I do consider myself shaman, in the practice of medicine and meditation of my native american heritage. I view magick and science as intertwined, and that the unseen world might have something to do with string theory, quantum mechanics and the akashic record. That probably sounds odd but I don't know how else to explain it

I also like the free, rebellious philosophy of satanism but I don't know enough about it to call myself one. For the sake of simplicity, I'm an atheist

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

I identify primarily as a trifectum of Christian (in the sense I believe in God, Jesus as the Son of God, and a follower of His teachings), Discordianism, and Pastafarianism.
