IN ALL SERIOUSNESS. There isn't really a word for my "religious" point of view because I've crafted it 由 myself, for myself, within myself. I've grown to my beliefs based on my life experiences, what I know, and what makes sense to me and how I interpret the world. This doesn't mean that I don't look to "real" religions for inspiration on my spirituality, and I've been influenced a lot 由 different Pagan religions(such as Wicca) and a little bit 由 the Mormon church. In short, my religion is that of myself. My spirituality is written 由 me, for me, within me, and it continues to grow and change as I grow and change, learning 更多 as time goes on. I think a lot of people are like that without even realising it, even if they stamp themself with the 标题 of one religion. I've not met too many people whose ideas align perfectly with what they call their religion(though I've met a few), and most people I've formulate their own beliefs and interpretations to what best fits them, as I have, even if they call themselves "Christian" 或者 "Muslim" 或者 "Wiccan", 或者 anything. If they didn't, why, then we wouldn't have the multitudes of religions that we do. Beliefs are a beautiful thing, really, and regardless of what we believe, we all have them. Some people believe in God, some people believe in many Gods, some people believe that there is no God. Some people believe in magic, some people believe in demons, some people believe in angels. Some people believe in turning to spiritual beings for helps, while others believe in relying on themselves. Religion and beliefs shouldn't be so touchy, I think, because in learning what others believe- even if we don't agree with them- we can learn new things about the world, it's people, and even about ourselves. I think people should be able to discuss beliefs freely and openly, because the beliefs of the individual are much 更多 powerful than any of us realise.
