Is Anyone Here Non Christian?

[placid path]

faith has played an off and on role in life for me... sometimes strong, sometimes weak...
I do still consider myself Christian through it all, and i really do believe in the values my church I attend when I feel like going (which hasn't been much lately) has, just things get lost in the implication of those values. Both my sister and mom are ordained ministers, sister has a masters in divinity, me and religion have a strange relationship at times

I like buddhism bar the karma as i believe it to be without foundation.
i think there is nearly always a higher state of consciousness than where I'm at.
even in enlightenment, there are complimentary states of consciousness.

i am interested in the idea of 'lila' and this life being a cosmic game or a dream but when i'm in pain- which is most of the time, i hate that idea.

i don't like doctrines as i was indoctrinated at a young age, first to catholicism and later to born-again christian. very rigid.

I know that i can think and feel and that i am a human being and the control i have over my thinking -about 5%- impacts how i feel -sounds obvious- but i find that we forget these things, i know i do.

any ideas i have or take in after that are creations, either of others or of others and I.

...back to the question. No, I am not non-christian, there is something to be found in all religions for me.

best wishes,
Cordelia

I grew up Catholic, but I follow my own thing: not quite Christian, not quite Buddhist, not quite Hindu.  I laugh and jokingly call it it Elle-ism, but I encompass a lot of beliefs into one for me.

i have a weird thing with god,
i only believe in him when i'm thanking him for something

i know a lot of people who only believe in him when they are ASKING him for something! 

i try not to be one of those people....as with anything, some days are better than others

Nice to see so much diversity in this group! Lol, seems like I'm I'm the only resident wiccan though. I guess I gotta be me.

Ish, there is one other wiccan on the forum that I know of, but he doesn't post very much.
