I don't know where else to go.

[URAVIP2ME]

This is the forum with the most people on it, and I don't know where else to ask. I can't ask in a specific forum because I don't know what religion I am, so I'll post it here. Thanks to all who reads this. I am 14, and this subject is bothering me. I need to know.
I believe that all people are born good, as they have not committed any wrongs, and are born with a clean slate. I believe that all the inhabitants of Earth share a common bond, the atom, and should always live hand in hand with each other, with man never destroying nature. I believe that God is something we can all be, an all loving, kind, omniscient person whose only purpose is to help others. Sex is something to be enjoyed, but in moderation, as everything in large quantities is harmful to you. I believe that your soul is what makes you, you. Your essence if you may. All humans are brothers and sisters (not in the genetic type) in the sense that we are all one. We can change the world for better, or worse. We should never fight, but only love and help one another.
What am I?

Good point about being born with a clean slate but every parent knows at birth that its child's leanings will be leaning toward imperfection. In other words, the slate will not remain clean [ human perfection] .

Because of disobedience some greedy people ruin nature. That is why we have the assurance at Revelation [11v18 B] that God [not mankind] will bring to ruin those ruining the earth. That includes both literally and morally.

Jesus gave us the illustration of the neighborly good Samaritan.
That shows practical ways we can widen out in love for others.

If you follow Jesus neutral stand to Not live by the sword [Matt 26v52;
Rev 13v10] then 'What am I?' might be answered, "Christian".

Thank you for the suggestion.

Since you are seeking, have you ever considered looking into a Pagan path? Lots of youth especially these days are embracing Paganism.

 

[theuniversallife]

I have not, care to explain?

 

[Many Sages One Truth]

Paganism is the label generally applied to most of the ancient idegionous religions outside of Christianity. Like for example, the ancient religions of the Greeks, Egyptians, Celts, etc. T

I understand, would you please list a few that you have had experiences with?

 

[Many Sages One Truth]

Paganism is the label generally applied to religions outside of the Abrahamic ones that were ancient cultural religions. Examples: Greek, Egyptian, Celt, etc. Paganism is a balanced and moderate path that teaches worship of god, in god's many forms, respect for the earth, peace and harmony, and other great ideals.

I try to experience a little of them all

I try to experience a little of them all

Which is a good thing, of course. I will read about Pagan religions whenever I can, and thank you for the suggestion.

Welcome to the forums! I highlighted above with underlined emphasis on a very strong sense of social justice that you seem to have! This is very laudible on your part! And at such a young age, too! The religion that might fit you best and really be up your alley as far as social justice goes is Unitarian Universalism. There are no creeds, no set beliefs, nothing demanding you adhere to certain doctrines or risk damnation, no inerrant holy books and sexual suppression. There are certain principles that members adhere to and I think you would really like them!

You sound like a classic universalist. If you like drawing inspiration from most/all religious traditions and lean towards eastern religions, that label probably fits you aptly for now. Of course, you could always make up your own religion/title like I did.

Nature can never be destroyed, only altered. Everything alters nature, and all is nature.

Buddhism, perhaps?

Depending on your personal beliefs -- which will keep changing -- Celtic Reconstructionism might appeal or an earth-based path, but maybe not. I'm currently learning about and refining my practices through Celtic Reconstructionism.
