What spiritual path do you follow?

Please note that this poll is not anonymous.

Sorry if your path is not on here. I had 37 I wanted to put up. Then I broke it down to 15 (with Other) then I just had to drop out 5 because of the limit. Sorry.

You really need to have check-boxes, rather than radio buttons, for me to answer properly. In my "spiritual" life, I try to take those aspects of many different religions that resonate with me.

I take the Native American's love of earth, the forgiveness and love of fellow man that comes from Christ, the search for balance and harmony that comes from Taoism, the seeking of virtue through meditation and self-reflection that comes from Budhism, and anything else that I might latch upon.

A pigeon-hole answer just doesn't work for me.

There are other polls out there on this topic too, but I'm willing to be the token Buddhist on this one too :D

I agree Ace. I am a Pagan but take from many places. Buddhism/Hinduism/Taoism/Native American and much much more. I am still a Stregone at my hart and soul. The other religions help me learn but they are not who I am. Other works for the most part for any one like you.

Being in the world but not of it and striving to live as the ancient Avatar Zarathustra said by good thoughts, words and deed.

Just another day in paradise!

:D

What's a spiritual path, and why should I be following one?

Every one has one. Even Atheist have one. Most are just to stubborn to see Atheism as one.

:) This was done a few weeks back. Easy enough to answer again. Christian.
Was the word Christianity italicized by you or did it just do that when I did the poll?

The poll automatically italicizes whatever you selected.

What, so Judaism isn't a valid spiritual path? Not to mention LDS. Even in SL you are going to find a hell of a lot more Jews and Mormons than Shinto devotees.

Mormons are a kind of Christian last I checked (My sister tries to convert me regularly) and Judiasm seems to have gotten over looked I agree

Yes Judaism is one of the western world's major religions - at at a minimum should have been included as Judeo-Christian...I would have listed it separately.

LDS is a christian church.

None of the above. I guess secular humanist if I have to wear a label.

I hate it when people say this. I may have a philosophy and a set of morals and ethics to live my life by, it can't be considered a spiritual path as that would require me to be concerned for the condition of my spirit or soul - which I know does not exist and so I waste no time worrying about it.

Okay, I don't feel so bad that they left out Satanist if they didn't even remember Judaism.

Pigeonholes are fine by me. "Other" suits me wonderfully. ;)
