What are your beliefs? Religious, personal, etc...

I was just wondering what everyone here believes?  What is your religion (if you have one)?  Tell a little about what your beliefs are.

I am a fundamentalist Mormon.  We believe in the teachings of the prophets in the Bible and Book of Mormon.  We follow the teachings of the early LDS church (including, but not limited to, plural marriage, law of consecration, united order, Adam-God, Jesus being married, personal revelation, etc...). 

Not all fundamentalist Mormons completely believe the same things.  Some are their personal beliefs.  Such as, our family does not celebrate Easter, Halloween or Christmas.  We circumcise on the 8th day.  We do drink wine for sacrament.  We are wanting to start celebrating the Feasts, and we believe Sabbath day is Saturday, not Sunday.

If you want, please share your beliefs.  I would make a poll, but currently, I'm too lazy and there are just so many beliefs out there.  LOL!

My family isn't necessarily religious.

I teach my children respect for ALL things- people, animals, nature, etc.

I let the kids go with their friends to different churches with their friends. I'm open to then experimenting with religions and belief systems until they find one that fits their spiritual needs. Personally, I never found one. But that doesn't mean they won't. If they ask to join a religion, I will let them. And I will happily drive them to any and all services.

Religiously - I'm a Christian Universalist, which means I'm not quite orthodox - I believe in religious pluralism and the universal salvation of all mankind.

Politically - I am very pro-homosexual rights, pro-life, anti-death penalty...

I believe in respect and compassion for all people, and I believe that I can find what's right for me without making anyone else "wrong."

=D
