POPSQuaker Earth Care Witness/religion Along my path orf finding spirituality, I believe in this organization and faith. Again, I am an Eclectic Christian and am not bound to one organized religion. I believe in spirituality, which for me includes The United Church Of Christ, Liberal Quakerism, Orthodox Quakerism, mystisism and earth based reverance that celebrates God's creation. The use of crystals and other pagan / new age methods is not outside my life's journey. Christ abhored strict adherance to the customary Jewish Law. All are now free!

POPSYULE I wish that I could have clipped more of this article to reference the many pagan traditions that were adopted by Christianity. Merry Yule!

POPSChrist And Nature Spirituality Discussion I am a believer in Christ Jesus and recognize Him as my personal Lord and Savior, but I too have a reverence for nature and feel drawn to incorporate this feeling in worship and praise. I believe in Christo Paganism/Eclectic Spirituality. I am intrigued by Shamanism, Native American beliefs, Wicca, Druidism, and other earth based religions.

POPSGod's Creation Admiring all of God's creation brings us closer to His love. We should respect what He has created with reverence and praise. To Him we owe thanks for every leaf, rock, grain of sand, the animals and all things placed here for us to enjoy. Each and every thing that exists upon the earth and throughout the cosmos are His. We are a part of this whole creation. God in nature is a strong spirituality! Some would consider this a Christo Pagan way of thinking and if so, I am Christo Pagan.

POPSThoughts About Jesus I believe that Jesus would encourage people to build their faith upon love of God and others in whatever manner one selects or is drawn to. I see nothing wrong with being an Eclectic Christian or Christo Pagan. The combining of the spiritual outweighs the formalities of following rigid laws that Jesus taught were impossible to keep to obtain God's grace.

POPSThe Seven Angels Being Christo Eclectic, I find the Angels of God to be an integral part of my spirituality. I do not worship these heavenly beings but believe they are part of God's creation and assigned to be with us through difficult times and all times. Each plays a different role in our lives. Each is unique and is given his/her own powers that are meant to be of help and guidance to us.

POPSFundamentalist Christians; A point of view I agree with precepts that Fundamentalist Christians are trying to impose their standards of morality upon the whole of the United States, causing division. The concept of creationism and evolution is a personal decision among all people and each person's beliefs should be respected. Remember, separation of church and state!! Freedom to believe one theory is the right of all people! Fundamentalism is out of control with their agenda to push their beliefs upon others and integrate it into the Federal Government, State Government, Local Government causing great conflict and much harm on society.

POPSChristo Wicca I believe in the acceptance and respect of all religions. I lean towards The United Church Of Christ but find this concept of a blend of beliefs enlightening. I have reverence for the earth and feel the materials of the earth are placed here by a superior being for us to incorporate into our faith based practices and religious rituals. Freedom to all people to worship as they see fit. Blessed be, God Bless, open your hearts and minds and through Jesus Christ and His many diverse means of worshiping Him! We should celebrate this diversity and the beauty of nature which comes from above!

POPSRespect All Religions-Learn To Create Your Own I believe in the aspect of respecting all people's religions and faiths. I do not believe one religion has the right to intrude on others faiths or beliefs. We are all here as one people and while here we are trying to commune with our god, goddess, gods, saints, etc. Respect for others beliefs is a way of respecting your own beliefs or non-beliefs. Again, I cannot emphasize enough that we should all celebrate diversity! I integrate smudging and the burning of incense when I pray. I also find reverence in nature and the Shamanic views. I am a Christian but do not believe we have to adhere to traditions. When you pray, it is a deeply personal thing and objects and images that mean a lot to you should be integrated into the ritual/time of prayer. This makes more sense than repeating words or phrases that are not meaningful to you. I believe my God wants me to use my own mind when worshiping and at prayer.

POPSTHe United Church Of Christ; Open and Affirming The United Church Of Christ is a church that accepts all people regardless of race, sex, nationality, sexual orientation, mental and physical disabilities and more! They are a very strong advocate of GLBT rights. Please visit their website sometime to investigate their constitution, agenda and how loving a place this is.

POPSBible turned into a club This is so true! It is the 21st Century and Biblical scholars cannot find any direct references to "homosexuality" in the Bible. The term was introduced into the Bible in the 19th Century and is incorrect!

POPSAnother Christian Who Happens To Be Gay Yes, I am a Christian who just happens to be gay. I am convinced that God created me the way that I am and that I should live a proud and open life. Everyone should do this! Love yourself and respect yourself. Love God foremost! Together we can make the world a better place.

POPSJesus Camp, God Hates Fags-Love God's Way; IMAGINE THIS HATE! I've heard of this website and have not yet visited it due to my anger probably growing intensely strong over it. This is pure ignorance and hate! I don't want to turn everybody away from Christianity, as there are many congregations that do have the policy of 'open and affirming'. If you despise this message of hate that is being projected on the web, please POP ME! Help stop the ignorance and hate!

POPSGLBT Christian Flag; "So All Might Be One" read remarks You are as God created you, be it straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered,all races and nationalities, and more. (See video below regarding God Of Love). To me, the multi-colored flag symbolizes the many differences amongst the people of this world. We are a mix by God's doing. We are His True Colors. I view this flag as a flag for ALL people truly seeking God and His will in their life; bringing all together "So That All May Be One". God Bless and Peace unto you! Let us grasp the truth and total concept of variety and diversity. Amen! 'THE CHILDREN ARE FREE!'
