Church choir and NFP and everything, but not really sold on Jesus yet. Lol. Religion is complicated. DH subscribes to vedantic/eastern spirituality (karma/reincarnation/avatars) but we easily participate in the Catholic church as a family (he's more accepting of Jesus as avatar than I am!) We do our best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-religion-are-you/page/3#post-1916750 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:58:27 +0000 anonysquire 1916750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mormon.

I identify more on the "humanist pagan" scale, which blends pagan beliefs and ritual with modern science. </p> <p>Theres actually a place called The Ethical Society near where we live. Ive been thinking about attending their service. They discuss things like science, ethics, politics, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-religion-are-you/page/3#post-1916603 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 20:10:48 +0000 PrincessBaby 1916603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We attend a non-denominational Christian church.

I'm agnostic now because the whole thing rubbed me the wrong way. Lots of hypocrisy and ignorance and I just couldn't take it anymore. I think A part of me still wants to believe in God and sometimes I would love to revisit the religion because I see so many wonderful and inspiring people and stories on the Internet and away from my local churches. But I have such a bad taste in my mouth from my childhood I just can't bring myself to do it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-religion-are-you/page/3#post-1916555 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:21:05 +0000 farawayyama 1916555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agnostic.</p> <p>I was raised Christian (Baptist/ Pentecostal) and was very involved myself, and believed very earnestly. I was involved in kids ministry, youth ministry, I did 4 overseas missions trips and loved my churches. I was doing graduate study at a Bible College in preparation to be a long term missionary when I realised I no longer believed. Acknowledging that and walking away was one of the hardest things I have ever done.</p> <p>@travellingbee: My DH identifies as athiest (raised Mormon) and we have happily attended a few times. Quite a few athiests attend our local UU church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-religion-are-you/page/3#post-1916510 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 18:03:31 +0000 mlm2934 1916510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: and I'm just curious what is UU church service like?
