Mylot has a vast diversity of people as members and im curious to see if there is any beliefs systems out there i havnt heard of, or maybe new views on the ones i have.
I would like to know what you believe in, what you have faith in as a purpose for your life. How does you beliefs affect your life and how you operate?
Do you believe in one God, if so which view of this one God. Are you polytheistic? Reincarnation? Evoltuionist, atheist? A wiccan or the likes? Or any other type of believer?
How does you belief affect your daily life and why do you believe in it? Personal choice, family influence or what?
Im anxious to hear some views.

I believe in a variety of things. I believe in holistic healing like the Shamans did. Mind, Body, and Spirit.
I believe people's spirits get reincarnated until they get it right.
I believe in the Great Spirit and Mother Earth. I believe everything has a spirit.
Before I pick something, I pray to its Spirit so it will understand why I'm ending its life or changing its form.
Neat questions, take care

Atheist by own choice, it affects my life by not being limited by some book written by a bunch of men thousands of years ago giving more freedom and fun to life. It also enables me to have a more open minded view on many things like science, different cultures and more.

Noted. Not all religious views ordain a limited life. Some finatics may spread misconceptions about these religions but that doesnt neccisarily means its the actaull word of said religion. Ever notice a million good deeds go un noticed but one bad becomes the talk of the town?
I for one am Christian, a real one not some radical fanatical. I personally love science and physics. If your making a referance to open minded about science in the aspect of evoltuion, technically evoltuion isnt science by definition.
I also love to absord informatin about other cultures. No where in my faith does it say to be close minded about others, fanatics may push it but my view of God doesnt.
I respect your opinion and thank you for your response.

I dont think my spiritual beliefs necessarily affect my way of life at all really...they ENHANCE my already existing way of thinking and living which is one of the reasons I was attracted/drawn to them.....I mean I've always had a compassionate heart and respect for all living things be it ppl, animals, plants etc etc and have always believed in things like reincarnation which is very much the Buddhist in me...I've always been VERY aware of my ability to work with the energies and world around me as well as my psychic talents and the spirit world which is the Witch in me....and so on (just to give you a couple of examples..theres plenty more though)......So yea my beliefs dont affect my life, they enhance what was already there and part of my living if that makes sense...
