Yo, I've recently started coming here and reading up on some of the threads. But, there's one thing that really bothers me... I don't know what to call myself. As in, a religious standpoint. I have no idea, I'm so confused... But, anyways... Here we go, I'll tell you my beliefs and HOPEFULLY you'll maybe know what I am... I don't believe that there is a god. I believe that we were made by aliens.(Yea, yea... I know, I'm probably going to be laughed at.) And, I believe in an after-life. I believe that after this life, you go onto the astral plane where you are judged by a spirit. And if you are deemed worthy, your soul goes onto the next plane. And if you aren't worthy... You come back to the physical plane and do it over. (reincarnation) So, anyone have any ideas?

Apart from the aliens part, which I do think is ridiculous. I'd say "Spiritualist" seems pretty acurate.

To me, religeon - dogma = Spiritualism.

Spiritualism being "matters regarding the spirit", and includes anything from psychic abilities, afterlife, collective consciousness, etc.

But please, consider the universe to be the creation of a consciousness (that being what some people call God). Consider that life in its entirety is that consiousness's constantly changing expression of itself.

hey, is there any reason you believe in all that stuff? Just wondering where you got those ideas
