For LGBT

[GalTrav]

Which particular belief or faith do you practice?

[in progress]

I used to be a christian (raised as a Baptist) but dumped it when I had my awakening. No more religion. Beliefs are subject to change but I currently believe that the planet/people/our solar system etc is experiencing a rise in consciousness.

I practice metaphysical Taoism. In religious sect Taoism such as the Celestial Masters, homosexuality is a sin, but not so in classical Taoism, which is the foundation of metaphysical Taoism. Classical scripture actually discusses homosexuality as part of the streams of transformation. This passage from the Book Of Lieh Tzu (an expansion of a passage about evolutionary theory in the Book Of Chuang Tzu) is about the diversity of sexual activity and same-sex coupling arises naturally from the stream of change and transformation within Tao:

There is a beast of Shan-yuan which gives birth after conceiving by itself, the lei. There are birds of the rivers and marshes which give birth after looking at each other, the fish-hawks. There is a creature which is solely female, the giant tortoise; and another which is solely male, the little bee. The men and women of Ssŭ impregnate and conceive without intercourse. Hou Chi was born from a great footprint, Yi Yin from a hollow mulberry tree. Dragonflies breed from moisture, animalculae from vinegar.

No religion. I do believe in Source and law of attraction (Abraham Hicks)

[dreamer-rags]

I'm pansexual (attracted to all genders; male, female, nonbinary, etc..) but I'm strongly attracted to women. I grew up as a Baptist and oh wow, that was traumatic. So needless to say I'm no longer religious.

I'm a witch and spirit worker. I don't know how I feel about a higher power... I work with deities, and have a strong bond with quite a few, but I don't necessarily worship them. I honor them and what they represent, thank them for assisting me, etc..

I particularly love Aphrodite. She's so wonderful and loving, a perfect being to work with if you need to come to terms with sexuality, body image, etc.. And Morrighan is very much a mother figure.

Born into and raised traditional Christian (Lutheran). Questioning and slowly grew away from believing in God, gods or deities beginning in my early 20's, becoming full fledged atheist in my 40's. At 58, had a heart attack and a NDE. Since then, I find a collection of consciousness makes much sense to me, and might be what one experiences when trying to define "God". "God" can't be defined, and proof of that is that there are so many religions and even sects of specific religions.
So, my only religion or belief is, essentially, the Golden Rule...which is found in various verbage forms in the vast majority of religions.
