    I guess I'm torn. I am sort of leaning towards Deism but I also agree with AuldSoul about Christianity. I like the idea of Buddhism which maybe can be practiced along with Christianity as well.

    Based solely on this writing example, filled with misspellings and poor grammar: "Im doing research on religion. This im trying to find out: [1]What do they teach. [2]Do their teachings apply to the bible. [3]Why they left their religion. [4]How did their religion start. [5]Whats the background of their religion. Im trying to find these answers about Catholics, Jews Baptize Jehovah Witnesses Muslims and Mormons." ...the rsearch is going to be sloppy, indeed.

    I'm not the converting type either. I don't subscribe to any particular religious philosophy as I see practicalities and impracticalities in all I've looked into.

    I suppose one might say I converted to the religion of Daystar.

    Christianity.... that's the religion... or better yet, my relationship.

    A couple/few times a week, I hang out with some other people who like to honor God and His son too...and share there personal beliefs and questions with one another.... AND see how (together) they can make the world a better place until God takes over.

    Here's that group's website: www.woodlandsccc.org

    I'm a born-again-atheist.

    Once never saved, always never saved, in the name of the figment, the superstition and the highly gullable, forever and ever, Darwin.

    Occasionally I cheat and imagine I have a cosmic relationship with rainbows...

    We did not convert to anything except that we still believe that God still exist and we still study the Bible as family and independently. We did a lot of researches and came to conclusion that all religions have some truth but not ultimate truth like they all claim and like jws. Realized that only one true religion do not exist and it only exist in individual's mind in their religion. Because we realized that they all have to claim to make themselves to be the one and only one to hold the authorities over people. We decided that only thing religions are good for is socialization and place to do things with others but with condition to accept what they teach and practice. Like signing a piece of a paper to say we will follow the rules for certain clubs or organization. Utimately, it is up to individual to seek God and understand Him and develop a personal relationship with Him and try to understand his ways. We(my husband and I) since kids are still young to comprehend all this religion stuff except for basic contents of the Bible, we just do our thing listen, read, and search like Bible recommend us to do. Also, wait. At least we feel like we are obligate to do that as His people. No more organized religion unless we want that social gathering which we could find in other secular places without us deeply getting involve in one particular organization(religion or not). We are free but yet we have an obligation towards God and His Son, price of being a free is responsibility and still accountable to God and that is our ways to look at things now days.
