Christianity, of the protestant variety.

It's sort of interesting how our particular situation (of being transgendered) seems to strike no matter our faith. Sort of like, I was Christian, then this happened. Now I have to reconcile the two, 'cause neither of them is going away in a hurry.

I do believe in God.  But beyond that, I just got my Philosophy.

Yup, same here.

I see the Abrahamic faiths are nicely itemised in the poll...

I'm Buddhist, but within that I'm agnostic at best in terms of deities existing.

Christian. No denomination nor doctrine other than the Word itself for me.

An amalgamation of Christian ala Episcopalian, Two Spirit, and Higher Power in the 12 step traditions.

I'm agnostic/pagan.  I'm agnostic in the sense that I don't know if something's real just like I don't know it isn't real, but I choose to believe what I do.

Yep, Christian here and I had the same realization and the same struggle to reconcile the two. You mean i'm one of them  LOL..... 

It made me delve deeper to try to understand where I stand in my religion; i assume that I was made to serve His purpose so now I wanna know more about why I am this way. It also made re re-evaluate my thinking about transgender folk.

I am an Atheist, who is a former Christian. I used to beg my mom to bring me to church and I wanted to be a nun or a priest when I was younger (according to my mom, I don't remember lol). I do remember though reading this Children's bible I got for Christmas every night.

It's hard to explain exactly why I "jumped ship" and turned into an Atheist.

I am a Christian, There are times were I have questioned my faith but I have been through alot for my age to know he's real

suitheist

I strongly feel that I am quite spiritual and not religious.  I do believe in God (or The Divine, Source, etc.), but definitely not "The Old Man in the Sky".

In the poll, I selected "Other".

I am a Sikh, though not Amritdhari.

It's too bad the poll allows such a limited selection of answers.

I am a Unitarian Universalist.  One if the more welcoming denominations for LGBTQ folk.  But with a long way to go the TQ part.

I'm Christian, but I have learned about many other faiths and cultures, which has helped me to better understand my own faith, the teachings of Jesus, and to put other scriptures into perspective.

These other sources include Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, and Pagan/New Age.  I've also read the lost books (AKA forbidden books).

In addition, I have been active in AA and NA, including 33 years of continuous clean time, several sponsors, and nearly 100 sponsees, hundreds of grands, and thousands of great grands.  I've also written for some literature and have spoken, as Debbie, at a Convention and a few anniversaries.

I'm a Roman Catholic, firmly entrenched as a devout, but liberal variety.

Essentially spiritually I favor the influence of theologians like Pierre Teihard de Chardin and St. Thomas Aquinas over literal interpretation of the Word, but to each their own.

Noam Chomsky sums up my views on this topic quite nicely:

"[If] you ask me whether or not I'm an atheist, I wouldn't even answer. I would first want an explanation of what it is that I'm supposed not to believe in, and I've never seen an explanation."

And now for a bit of fun...

Christian, mostly conservative.

Christian / Non-denominational

Atheist.

I guess I have a certain amount of "spirituality" to me, but it's more just an appreciation of how it romanticizes things. I sort of believe in karma, as I don't think there's anything all that supernatural about the notion that if you put positivity out into the world, positivity will come back to you. I like certain religious concepts, even if I don't really believe in them. I pray most nights, a simple prayer that the sick will be healed. I don't expect anything to come of it, but I figure it doesn't hurt to put it out there.

I wish the people who post in this thread would expound on their beliefs a little. There are so many religions/philosophies people have mentioned that I have no knowledge of. In particular, I'd like to learn a bit more about Anatta's and LearnedHand's personal beliefs.

Kia Ora Alabamagirl ,

This will give you an insight...............

Putting positivity out into the world. What, like shedding protons?
