I would look into Ismailism, it is a branch of Shi'a Islam which believes in reincarnation if I'm not mistaken.

Good catch, though I don't think Ismailis are common in the UK. Closest thing I found matching that in Edinburgh are here:

IQRA ACADEMY (Newington, Edinburgh) - Comprehensive Complete Directory Search Listings of Muslim Mosques in the United Kingdom

Actually, there are a lot of Ismaili immigrants in the West. You won't find Ismaili places of worship in the links you posted because Ismailis don't pray in mosques though, they pray in something called jamatkhanas (I live in a place with a large Ismaili population). I found a list of all the jamatkhanas in the United Kingdom.

I started off Christian, but then later could not accept two premises:

1) God sends people to hell for being a part of another religion and

2) God sends people to hell because they are not believers, even if they are good people.

I guess I will have to say it is just something inside of me which says this is false. I do believe there was a possibility of Jesus. However I believe much of his teachings have been distorted, and much ado about fear was included. I think he wanted us to find our way, and change by leading a spiritual life. But I don't see why he would want us to fear so much. So now my path is pretty much my own, and I just try to find the answers in my own way.

Yes. :(

I go back and forth between Catholicism, Satanism, Luciferianism, Paganism, pantheism and atheism/agnosticism. I am confused.

I think that changing minds, even several times, may not necessarily be a bad thing. I changed religion many times before finally coming to Sikhi, and this process of considering several religions allowed me to discern what I really believed by examining a range of ideas critically and then discarding the bad whilst keeping those I felt to be right. Plus it also meant that when I did find Sikhi, I knew not just WHAT I believed but also WHY I believe it.

I know how you feel, I've changed my mind so much that I don't really know exactly what I specifically believe anymore or what I should be called.

Weren't you Mormon? What happened?

I'm still kind of Mormon. I've always questioned things, and I've only been Mormon for about a year. I've been questioning whether or not I believe certain things that are major points of the Mormon religion, so I'm kind of between being one and not being one at the moment.

It's kind of hard to say no because I was raised as a Christian so it's something I'm familiar with, but it's hard to say yes because I'm not sure what exactly I am at the moment.

It's hard to say yes because you mean in your heart you're not sure that you believe in God and Jesus ?
