      just wondering what religions you guys are. please don't be offended if i didn't include yours. (i can only have 20 choices, so it can't be an all-inclusive list). maybe you could also do a reply with what religion you are and why you believe what you do or how long you have been in that church or religion or whatever. just anything.

      I'd say a mix of Wicca/Thelema/Buddhist.

      Ultimately Thelema though.

      I chose Thelema basically because I discovered it's teachings within myself, before I ever even heard of it.

      What is Thelema? : )

      I am atheist by the way, like most people on this (part of) forum now-a-days I believe : )

      Hmm, I don't want to offend anyone, but I just looked in http://www.thelema.org and this thelema looks like a joke, like discordianism.

      Aye, not all those are religions. Some are churches. The Christian churches in particular. The LDS, Catholic are churches of the Christian religion as a whole.

      I had to chose "other." I am Christian, though don't think much of religion in general. I guess "born again" would be the closest thing, but even that becomes something else when trapped in a religious context.

      the teachings of zoroastra are alive and well (big in india apparently and parts of africa too),
      and as for my religion: "Rastafari is&#33;"
      spiritual enlightenment through ritual, natural drug use- why would you bother with any of the others?
      (ok maybe buddhism -ill give you that, but whod want to come back here? its shit)
      apologies punctuation and i are having a bad patch and i only get to see the commas on weekends now- is this better?

      Yea check out their verse 76 of chapter 2 of the thelemic Book of the Law:

      4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L. What meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever. There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it. But remember, o chose none, to be me; to follow the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look forth upon men, to tell them this glad word.
      A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service
      and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
