i'm not religious either, but very spiritual too:-) my parents are different religions and i was raised in one. i'm thankful for that, but started to question it. as i got older, i studied other religions. i decided i don't really like organized religions, but i do like some of the knowledge in all religions/spiritual beliefs. i take what is important to me and just go from there.
I am conflicted. As a scientist, I think religion and a belief in the afterlife is our way of accepting death. However, as a mother who has lost her only child, I desperately want to believe. I never cared much for organized religion myself although I do not begrudge those who make it a central part of their life. Our wedding acknowledges a creator, the Great Spirit (half of the ceremony is Native American because of my heritage) and the Goddess. My FI's VERY Catholic parents would no doubt think it bizarre.
I belive, I just don't think you should have to go to church to prove it. I wasn't raised in one particular religion (though my mother will swear I am methodist because she is) so I don't really give deffinitvie answers if asked.
I do believe in god but I am not at all religous. I don't believe in organized religon. I'm spiritual and believe that god is love, god is everything, god is in all of us and everything. I do not believe in the whole hell and damnation god either. That whole thing just ticks me off.
What type of officiant are you guys having marry you? We decided on a friend of the family who is also very spiritual. He attends Mayan spiritual retreats every summer and we've explained exactly what we want. A SHORT ceremony with our own vows and maybe a joke thrown in. Nothing dull and boring and no long, drawn out readings.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I know, it's so cliche, but it's true. I was reading some posts earlier today and it just got me thinking. I've never been interested in organized religion. My parents were episcopalian but never pushed it on me. I am very grateful that they let me explore different belief systems and encouraged me to find my own truths. My dad talked me into going to confirmation class "to see if I liked it" but I soon got kicked out for asking too many questions. I wanted to know how there could be a God and not a Goddess? It never made much sense to me. I've always felt much more comfortable with the idea of the Goddess and when I am in pain or need guidance, I call on her. What about you? Do you have non-traditional spiritual beliefs?
