Been working on this seriously for about 2 years.

I’m looking for a church of place of worship that have very open beliefs and is welcoming to new people



so confusing... 6 months ago

i think so many different things are possible, its kind of hard to limit it down to one religion. For instance, i believe reincarnation and “reaching elightenment” is possible, yet i don’t believe in any kind of heaven/hell. and when it comes to a “creator”, i just can’t be sure whether one exists or not; so i’m 50/50 on that.

does anyone know of a religion that closely fits my beliefs?


May have to rephrase this one 6 months ago

I don’t consider myself religious.In fact I doubt that I will FIND a religion that fits my believes so this is more about INVENTING a religion that fits my believes.

However, to start this journey I’m going to explore Buddhism by reading something by the Dalai Lama. All suggestions for further reading are welcomed :)

this may not happen. What’re the chances I’ll find one religion that perfectly captures all of my beliefs?

“True religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness and righteousness.”

I've decided that 13 months ago

I am not obligated to have a specific religion. I don’t want to follow a certain path and worship a God that has and will been other peoples interpretations – past, present and future. I am happy to take traditions and beliefs from other cultures and religions and adapt that to what makes me feel at one with the universe and everything that has ever been and ever will be. My God is my God and my religion shall be my own.



well...maybe im agnostic, but... 13 months ago

I believe in a lot of things.. but as I look into different religions there is always something there that doesn’t pertain to me.

To each their own 15 months ago

I’ve found some different religions that work for me such as the Latter Day Saints and some Buddism. I’m considering joining a masonic lodge as well down the road.
I also try to be open to other religions and incorporate some of their beliefs if I see truth in it. I definitely vibe with the non-violent “soul or truth” force that Gandhi and MLK Jr. lived and practiced. Overthrowing an oppressive British government without killing people was an amazing feat.
But to each their own, forceful religions and people I want nothing to do with and I find the latest round of Christians vs. Persians to be especially irritating.
