This is a sensitive topic so I don't want to insult anyone's beliefs. I love and respect everyone here, but you ask what we believe. I was raised christian. For years I had the Jesus, Holy Spirit, and God experiences. Even speaking in tongues. But I spent years and years researching it and I learn such christian experiences are so very contradictory and can be found in many other religions. I love christians but it was not cool when I used to tell people the bible clearly says you go to the lake for fire to be tormented for ever if you simply are an "unbeliever." For me it's not truth. Sorry.

I too have spent years talking to guardian angels, guides, and evil spirits but after all this time I finally conclude its most likely not real. Don't get me wrong. I still really believe in the power of the subconscious world. I think as humans we are soooo amazing it's just beyond words. But honestly I don't think any religion or even open minded scientists are even close to figuring it out.

Religion has been a source of great depression for me leading me to the brink of suicide many times. I prayed and prayed to Jesus to heal me. He said he would. It helped a lil emotionally but not really so much. I know lot of people get healed in many religions. So in that respect religion is good. I just can't accept the dark side to religions, such as telling people an all powerful and knowing God would create humans knowing our very human characteristics would lead most of us to not believing in a God who doesn't give us any real proof and a God who would create hell and cast us his children their for ever leaving and abandoning us.

But then again I haven't been so fare to all religions. Like, there are over 40000 christian denominations and many will argue for ever that God extinguishes unbelievers and will not cast them in hell for ever. So that's pretty good that they have a nice happy religion and don't believe God is a monster.
