About me

If I created my own religion based on my beliefs...

  1. There are two Gods, a mother and a father. I tend to believe they can shapeshift.
  2. The God and Goddess do not typically intervene in the world, except to communicate with us through prayer and visions.
  3. Jesus suffered and died for our sins and struggles, and He rose from the dead. However, we should focus on how He lived his life and follow His example.
  4. Each and every person is an individual, and we must treat them as such.
  5. All human beings are created equal. We must not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, ability, or anything else of that nature.
  6. All human life has value. This means embracing a consistent life ethic by opposing abortion, war, the death penalty, torture, euthanasia, and all other forms of aggressive violence. The only time when violence is morally acceptable is when it is strictly in defense of oneself or others.
  7. Animal and plant life must also be respected. While it is not wrong to use animals or plants, it is wrong to torture living things or kill for the sake of pleasure. 
  8. We have a moral obligation to help others, especially the most vulnerable members of society and those who cannot care for themselves.
  9. If one's actions do no harm, they should not be condemned. Actions that only do harm to the person making the decision should be discouraged, but we should not punish the person making the decision because that only hurts them more.
  10. When people make decisions that harm only themselves, they will not face punishment from the Gods. However, they should still communicate with the Gods to help solve the problems they face.
  11. When people make decisions that harm others and do not repent, they will experience a type of karma in the afterlife where they feel the pain they inflicted on others. This is a natural consequence, not a result of the Gods punishing them.
  12. Sex must be between people who are committed to each other and should not be done casually, as casual sex can have negative consequences. However, we must mind our own business and not focus too much on what people do in the bedroom.
  13. Logic and reason are important, and we should not be blindly obedient. However, we must keep an open mind for things that we do not understand yet.
  14. Science and knowledge must be valued. 
  15. Creativity must also be valued.
  16. Each person must form a personal relationship with the Gods. There are many ways to do this, including (but not limited to) prayer, meditation, pondering, creating, learning, and being out in nature.
  17. Supernatural beings exist. 
  18. Spirits do not typically intervene in the world unless they have some sort of unfinished business. When they have completed what they needed to do, they will continue to dwell on earth, but they'll be at peace. It is not until the earth is destroyed that they go to heaven (for the lack of a better word).
  19. We get to create our own heaven based on what we love.
  20. The Gods did not create morality. They only enforce it. Morality just is.
