Nah, just joking. I just have no Idea what Eclectic is. ^__^ Is it another word for 'BURNING IN HELL YOU VILE DEMON-SPAWN!" ? Nah, just joking again. Wicca is pretty funny, all that nature-shit at least is more respectful then organized religion. (funny, not real or something ^__^)

I believe in the Jehovahs Witnesses even thought I don't follow all the rules.

Dark where have you been? Long time no see.

I believe god is my cat Abdul.
All praise Abdul the cat, or He shell sit in your lap, and ye shell not be able to move of fear of waking Him up, and remain like that for all eternity!

Despite the obvious ridiculousness of your claims, I will not question them for the reason that you have disclaimed them to be your "religious" beliefs, and they are therefore equally valid as all religious claims inherently are. For this reason I will tiptoe cautiously around the situation for fear that I will be portrayed as disrespectful, to the point of even suppressing my claims of the contrary for that same reason.

I totally agree. Also, if the followers of Abdul wish to sacrifice un-sedated dogs by burning them alive, it is their right to practice their religion, and we should totally ignore it.

The word "eclectic" means to select from a variety of sources. "Eclectic Wicca is that form where an individual adopts a mix of various Wiccan principles that he or she thinks are valid for his/her path

Ah, you just put the things you think are right together.

You know, I really respect that you at least KNOW you are being eclectic. A lot of Christians are extremely eclectic, only they all call themselves Christian for some reason.

I am a Luciferian which im not suprised to see isnt on your list

Calaritanus or Gnostic? (I'm assuming Gnostic) and why?(curious)

Yes. What is your longterm goal?

And do you have good fire-insurance?

Someone tell me what zoroastrian is ??? I've never heard of it, but everyone seems to know

I have a friend who's zoroastrian. They worship the elements in temples of fire. When they die they are put on huge towers with ledges where vultures pick away the meat. When there is nothing left they put the bones in a vat of acid. Also they're allowed into other places of worship as he regularly comes to Christian Union at school with us. There is always cookies/muffins there and it's a chance for a religous debate and the Christian point on it. It's a religion passed down through the mother I think. There are your zoroastrian FAQs.

Can I change my vote?

LOL, Sorry, that was me messing with the poll. I thought it was funny that a (mostly) dead archaic religion option was there, so I changed it. Heheh, I'll fix it.

I think I had a past life, so I say Born-again.

That's probably not what you mean, but that's the way I think about it.

I am a baptist. Born again christian and I follow the baptist church...if that made any sense at all...

I said other, somewhat of what you might call a "mystic" christian, I honestly don't know if I'll ever associate myself with an existing church denomination...

edit: what does that mean to be "born again" does that just imply a Christian not necessary related to protestant, baptist, or catholic? if so I guess that would've been me, but I don't know if there's more to it than that...

Hi DreamerDavious! If I understood your question correctly, to be born again simply means to be a christian.

John 3:1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." 3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." 4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" 5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

We are all dead in our sins, but with a personal relationship with Christ, we will be forgiven.

Ephesians 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins

John 8:23 But he [Jesus] continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."

A person who is born again becomes a new creation.

2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

That person also becomes a child of God.

John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

A person could belong to any denomination or religion, but never be saved!
