    I was raised Baptist, but I like to think for myself so I now classify myself a Spiritualist. I believe in a God and try to live my life by the Golden Rule...but I don't accept what the organized religions try to pump down our throats. /end rant

    You should've added Agnosticism up there. And putting Buddha instead of Buddhism up there made it seem a little weird, among others.

    I'm either an agnostic partial to Christianity or an extremely liberal Protestant. :)

    These are the words I've been trying to figure out myself when describing my spiritual standing for years. Thanx. :D

    I'm an agnostic. I don't know whats 'up there,' but I do recognize a higher power. In essence, I try to live my life by the golden rule. I'm spiritual, but not religious at all.

    How 'bout "free-thinking spiritualist"? I like that one.

    I would have to say other. I believe or like to think of myself of having a combination of different religious beliefs.

    I'm for sure in the "other" category. I have strong feelings about and feel very close to about certain religions but I'm not a Buddhist or a Taoist. I feel a connection to Jesus, but I'm not close to being a Christian. I even find Sufism and Hinduism of interest as well as pagan and new age practices and beliefs. Did I mention Theosophy too?

    How about "seeker?" That seems close enough.

    Relativist, at your service. :)

    I don't know if you live in Houston, but if you consider yourself more theologically liberal than any professed Christian you've met, you might be interested in checking out Covenant, a pretty left-wing (theologically, not politically) church downtown. Here's the church's website: http://www.covenanthouston.org. It's small, mostly white, upper-middle class, but the people are friendly. I hear they just got a new pastor as well, who seems exciting but is a little inexperienced.

    I am Agnostically and Existentially Jewish.

    I think I just created a new religion. Slap me and call me L. Ron Hubbard! :rolleyes:
