Praise be to Allah!

I don't have a relegion but a relationship with Jesus Christ. Christianism is not a religion the world made it a religion. Being a Christian is following the teachings of Christ. There are many to claim Christianity but they aren't, for example David Koresh claimed to be a Christian, Hitler and the KKK. So we can claim to be Christians but living a Christ like life is the true meaning of Christianity.

no religion. religion is man made. i'm spiritual. I have my faith.

hellz yeah. i totally agree, and i have been saying and believing that for ever. its one thing to say that, but to do/live like that is different. Gr8 post

I have none, i grew up in the catholic church but have no stomach for the church nor those who run it.

I have little spirituality left as the negitive aspects of the aformentioned faith have detiorated my spritual side as well, i do however hope to become a man who understands his own version of spirituallty at some point in my life, but until I can come to terms with the common attrocities of the world i don't know that i will succeed.

Hopefull one day that time will come, until then even i do not know where I stand. I don't think that being unsure of even your own thoughts on the matter is that uncommon in the world we live in today.

I'm Agnostic, no question. I admit I'm just a spec of dust on this earth and as advanced as we are, any attempt at understand the true workings of the universe or the supernatural would be vain on my part, so I'm just happy to sit back and let the Religious and Athiests (who are generally full of shit) waste time arguing about that stuff. I have respect for the religious folks though.

See this is another point where people go wrong. The church is a meeting place for believers nothing more. Catholicism has placed too much emphasis on Church and I have something against that. This is why. I was born and raised a "Roman Catholic" never understood why I had to go to church, confession to a presit and why I was frowned upon when I questioned things in the bible. This was my reason for looking into other things to find answers but I was left with more holes. We have to look at something historical when looking at the Catholic church but before I do so I would like to point this out: The word catholic means:
1. broad or wide-ranging in tastes, interests, or the like; having sympathies with all; broad-minded; liberal.
2. universal in extent; involving all; of interest to all.
3. pertaining to the whole Christian body or church.
So way back when befeor the Romans took over, yes Took over, the title Catholic was used to speak of the Universal Church of Christ, meaning all those who believed in The Christ. So Catholiisms is the practice of being catholic. With that said, today's Roman Catholic church is not what it used to be. Back in the Roman times we all know the biggest persecuters of Christians where the Romans. They hung Peter on a cross upside down and today they claim him as a Patriarch. Any ways Todays Catholic Church is called the Roman Catholic church because when the Roman Czar's could not due away with Christianity by killing off people they accepted it as another tradition and forced it on people. This is why we had the crusades and other things of it's nature. But anyways there is a lot more I am leaving out in between here and after but if you have questions I would love to answer them for you. Don't give up the faith there is proof that Jesus was who he said he was and that he did live so that is enough to know that there is a promise of here after. Study the bible on your own. There is no need for repentance from a priest or to pray to Mary or Peter or who ever else. For Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life. [I]No one{/I] can get to the father except through me." -John 14:6. There is no other way other than Jesus and these are the Lies perpetrated by Catholic officials. Remember when the Roman empire took over Christianity there were other religions and traditions being taught and practice in the empire. This is why there is Idol worship in the Roman Catholic Church because they incorporated all these traditions and practices into Christianity. Where in the bible does it say make a statue and pray to it? In fact it clearly states, Exodus 20:3-6: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, 6 but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments." When you pray to Mary or a any one else you are making them God because you are giving them the authority of God to do the things that only God can do. Like I said I can keep going on but it would make this longer than it already is. So if you have questions feel free to ask.

I am a sikh. Its a religion which was originated in India. began in sixteenth century Northern India with the teachings of Nanak and nine successive human gurus. This system of religious philosophy and expression has been traditionally known as the Gurmat (literally the teachings of the gurus) or the Sikh Dharma. Sikhism comes from the word Sikh which means "disciple" or "learner". Sikhism is the fifth-largest organised religion in the world

I thought i'd take liberty to tell you more about my religion.

The followers of Sikhism are ordained to follow the teachings of the ten Sikh gurus, or enlightened leaders, as well as the holy scripture—the Gurū Granth Sāhib—which includes the selected works of many authors from diverse socioeconomic and religious backgrounds. The text was decreed by Gobind Singh, the tenth guru, as the final guru of the Khalsa Panth. Sikhism's traditions and teachings are distinctly associated with the history, society and culture of the Punjab.

Adherents of Sikhism are known as Sikhs (students or disciples) and number over 23 million across the world. However, most Sikhs live in the state of Punjab in India; prior to partition, millions of Sikhs lived in what is now the Punjab province of Pakistan

Sikh religious philosophy has roots in the religious traditions of northern India.
The Sant Mat traditions are fundamental to the teachings of Sikhism's founder, Nanak. Especially important to the connection with Sikhism were the teachings of some of the saints such as Ravidas and Kabir. Sikhism is also inspired by the emphasis on devotion to God in the traditions of Vaishnavism, especially through the Bhakti movement, as well as influences of Sufism. However, Nanak's teachings diverge significantly from Vaishnavism in their rejection of idol worship, the doctrine of divine incarnations and a strict emphasis on inward devotion; Sikhism is professed to be a more difficult personal pursuit than Bhakti. The evolution of Nanak's thoughts on the basis of his own experiences and study have also given Sikhism a distinctly unique feature.

God( ITS NO DIFFERENT FROM "GODS" OF OTHER RELIGIONS. WE RESPECT AND APPRECIATE OTHER RELIGIONS AS OTHER PATHS TO ENLIGHTMENT. THEY CHOSE THEIR PATH AND WE ACCEPT THIS. WE BELIEVE IN COEXISTENCE
In Sikhism, God is formless, eternal, and unobserved. Nanak interpreted Vāhigurū as a single, personal and transcendental creator. The beginning of the first composition of Sikh scripture is the figure "1"—signifying the unity of God. To achieve salvation, the devotee must develop an intimate faith in and relationship with God. God is omnipresent and infinite, and is signified by the term ēk ōaṅkār. Sikhs believe that prior to creation, all that existed was God and his infinite hukam (will). When God willed, the entire cosmos was created. From these beginnings, God nurtured "enticement and attachment" to māyā, or the human perception of reality.

While a full understanding of God is beyond human beings, Nanak described God as not wholly unknowable. God is omnipresent (sarav viāpak) in all creation and visible everywhere to the spiritually awakened. Nanak stressed that God must be seen from "the inward eye," or the "heart" of a human being: devotees must meditate to progress towards enlightenment. Nanak emphasised the revelation through meditation, as its rigorous application permits the existence of communication between God and human beings. God has no gender in Sikhism, though translations may incorrectly present a masculine God. In addition, Nanak wrote that there are many worlds on which God has created life.


Pursuing salvation

A Sikh man at the Harimandir Sahib.Nanak's teachings are founded not on a final destination of heaven or hell, but on a spiritual union with God which results in salvation. The chief obstacles to the attainment of salvation are social conflicts and an attachment to worldly pursuits, which commit men and women to an endless cycle of birth - a concept known as karma.

Māyā—defined as illusion or "unreality"—is one of the core deviations from the pursuit of God and salvation - people are distracted from devotion by worldly attractions which give only illusive satisfaction. However, Nanak emphasised māyā as not a reference to the unreality of the world, but of its values. In Sikhism, the influences of ego, anger, greed, attachment and lust—known as the Five Evils—are to be particularly pernicious. The fate of people vulnerable to the Five Evils is separation from God, and the situation may be remedied only after intensive and relentless devotion.

Nanak described God's revelation—the path to salvation—with terms such as nām (the divine Name) and śabad (the divine Word) to emphasise the totality of the revelation. Nanak designated the word guru (meaning teacher) as the voice of God and the source and guide for knowledge and salvation.[9] Salvation can be reached only through rigorous and disciplined devotion to God. Nanak distinctly emphasised the irrelevance of outwardly observations such as rites, pilgrimages or asceticism. He stressed that devotion must take place through the heart, with the spirit and the soul.

A key practice to be pursued is nām simraṇ—remembrance of the divine Name. The verbal repetition of the name of God or a sacred syllable is an established practice in religious traditions in India, but Nanak's interpretation emphasised inward, personal observance. Nanak's ideal is the total exposure of one's being to the divine Name and a total conforming to the divine Order. Nanak described the result of the disciplined application of nām simraṇ as a "growing towards and into God" through a gradual process of five stages. The last of these is sac khaṇḍ (The Realm of Truth)—the final union of the spirit with God.[9]

Nanak stressed kirat karō - that a Sikh should balance work, worship, and charity, and should defend the rights of all creatures, and in particular, fellow human beings. They are encouraged to have a caṛdī kalā, or optimistic, view of life. Sikh teachings also stress the concept of sharing—vaṇḍ chakkō—through the distribution of free food at Sikh gurdwaras (laṅgar), giving charitable donations, and working for the betterment of the community and others (sēvā).

And one more thing.... PLEASE DONT FLAME AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT ANY RELIGION. I RESPECT YOURS AND I EXPECT YOU TO RESPECT MINE.

It's not that someone would disrespect your religion, but, "I am a sikh," would have sufficed.

I'm an agnostic dyslexic. Sometimes I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, wondering if in fact there is a DOG.

Yeah I agree that just saying I am a sikh would have been sufficient but not many people know about sikhism and I thought that it might help if I could tell them....

Right on, bro. No disrespect intended. I think it's interesting that with as many religions there are (weather one believes or not), the similarities are striking.
