I belong the Unitarian-Universalist. I am also a literal Unitarian-Univeralist. Unitarian meaning a obstensibly Christian monotheist who doesn't believe in the Trinity, denying the Godhood of Christ. Universalist meaning I believe everyone will be "saved" because the Divine is just and since no sin is infinite, no punishment/purification is infinite.

My driving religious philosophy is a form of Taoism. I consider the Tao to be synonymous with "God".

I generally avoid using the word "God", instead using G-d or the Divine.

Meditation and Taoist alchemy play a large part in my everyday religion.

Devotionals, prayer and addressing the Creator by role-titles are also part of my usual practice.

My spiritual religion is love, its action is service.

I have two main Guru's.

Guru Kelloggs who teaches: "The simple things in life are often the best."

and

Guru Nike who teaches: "Just do it"

I guess it all might come under paganism perhaps.... The worship of the Ancient Ones of pre Christian Ireland, Norse, with a good old fashion dose of Sorcery.... Like Apig, my Gods and Goddesses dance on the grass or the water under the moom as i follow the call of the Goat foot God or he who is seven tined antlered and phallus erect........

For me, its not about Religion ... Its about faith.

The focal point of my faith is my relationship with God ... As Creator, His relationship with me began the moment I was conceived in my mother's womb but my relationship with Him did not begin until I accepted salvation through Christ.

Beyond that, I've been told I'm kind of Pagan ... Which bothers me because I think it says a lot of the misunderstanding between Pagans and Christians. My Pagan friends base that statement on the fact that I don't 'beat them over the head with my beliefs', that I love them and listen when they talk about their beliefs and that I tend to respect life and take care of nature and about a million other things I do simply because its who I am.

To me, being a Christian is about love ... Its not about beating someone over the head with threats of judgement, hellfire and damnation. What your Creator chooses to do with you is between you and Him. I don't have the right to try to scare you into a relationship with God.

Its about loving people regardless. I can hate what you do but I can't hate you. If anything, my duty is to live by example ... Doing my best to uphold my morals and values, accepting forgiveness and moving on when I make a mistake or falter on my path, accepting responsibility for taking care of the earth because as human beings, we have dominion over the earth and simply doing everything I can to be a reflection of Christ's love to a world where pure and honest love is in short supply.
