What's your religion?

Just found the christian thread, thinking, just what are religion are others? and please, even if this thread is open for everyone, NO BASHING! Respect others, kay?

I'll start with myself. I'm a muslim but not really into it since the REAL teaching seems to have been mixed up. I mean, seriously? Hijacking a plane and crashes itself onto a building. That's not what being muslim is!!??

Ehem...sorry.

So, what's yours? I would love to know...

Although I am a Roman Catholic, I look down upon Rome ,especially the Popes who have either done nothing or too little too late in the face of oppression or have fueled and started it themselves. The Crusades, the mass-killing of their own Eastern brethren and their government, the Inquisition and their inaction against one of the most despicable acts this planet has ever seen (The holocaust) and the fact they just flat out didn't stand up to the Socialist Nazis or Mussolini just says alot about how unmanly and dishonorable/despicable they really are. It doesn't help that there's now a Nazi youth on the papal throne that allowed and pardoned those rapists, child abusers and anti-semite priests. I just do not pay attention to a word they even say anymore as I'd rather listen to the real source and do good towards my fellow man than hear their ramblings.

Going on, I try to blend multicultural worship into my life and once in a while , read other's holy books to get other perspectives and know rather than be a sheep. I just personally believe everyone has a right to believe as they please as long as it doesn't violate another person's rights .
 
They could just not wanna get into anything. Hence they chose not to carry one. Im like that. Though i respect others religions.
 
I was raised Catholic, and even taught CCD back in the day, but in my early 20s I was craving a more rational approach to spirituality and through research, shifted to Christian-influenced pantheism. That eventually got me seeking something more transcendental in philosophy, which led me to find Unitarian Universalism. I've formally converted about 4 years ago and have been extremely at home in the Unitarianism. My personal spirituality is now considerably more transcendentalist, with healthy influence from pantheism and christian philosophy.

I actually learned about Unitarianism from the Belief-O-Matic quiz at BeliefNet. It's a very interesting way to examine your own personal beliefs and see how they jive with different faiths of the world. Check it out and see how you line up.
