I was born and raised Catholic. All my life I thought this will be it since it was the only thing I knew, 'til about two decades ago when I was introduced to Karma and Reincarnation which I found very interesting. It didn't stop from there then I opened my mind and found out about other religion and beliefs. Up to this day, I am drawn to New Age and Buddhism (regularly attend a discussion group). I still do believe in God and his angels. So what should I refer to myself now?

Refer to yourself as "you." You do not need to have a label.

GT2015, like you, I was raised Christian (Protestant), and I still hold onto those beliefs.

I have also practiced Buddhism (Nichiren Diashonin), Native American spiritualism, and other New Age modalities.

I, personally, refer to myself as Spiritual. Hope that helps. :-)

Thanks Seeker 101! My friends think I'm a nut for believing in so many things. I can't help that I'm drawn to these things.

The more I look into different faith and belief systems, the more similarities I see. For instance, some version of 'The Golden Rule' is found in most religions.

If you feel called to be a Seeker (that is how I would refer to you), enjoy the journey.
