OPEN TO ALL: Let's try something different, shall we?
Rather than bash the next person's religion or church, kindly do these 3 things here:
1.] Briefly SHARE YOUR OWN PERSONAL CREED, beliefs or moral code here WITHOUT the need to MENTION as to what other groups may or may not do in theirs;
2.] Mention the church that you belong to, or the philosophical ideology/ies that you follow now; and
3] Rate yourself from 1-10 [10 being best] as to how close you are in adhering to your own CREED at this stage of your life.
Thanks for all your responses.
Peace be with you!

2. pray at least 3 times a day in my own words ussually lasting an hour each. Study as much as I can about everything and help anybody that asks for help.

Email me if you want to know my laws or anything else
While I do believe in some supernatural forces and in an interconnectedness of all things, I do not feel that it any particular diety or force set me here, in this time and in this place for a reason. I believe that I can do with my life what I will, and I fully intend to make the most of it, especially as I am nearly convinced that there will be no afterlife. . .at least, not in the conventional sense. I feel that the mind is our largest power source, with many capabilities and facets we cannot even begin to fathom as of yet. I do have a strong ethical framework for myself, despite the fact that I do not believe that anyone put it there but me.
I belong to no organized group, but my beliefs remain as above and the "power" that I have in physical, mental, emotional, and influencial states satisfies me with this.
Because I create my own creed--I must rate myself a 9 in adherence levels.
1.) I'm Catholic. I believe mostly what they believe. There are some exceptions; for example, I don't believe that God hates homosexuals. I also believe in both creation and evolution, and I believe women should be able to be priests and priests should be allowed to marry. I can't think of any more specifics right now, but I know I have more.
I believe in God, The Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, i believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, He was conceived by the power of the Holy Sprit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered, was crucified, died and was buried. He went down to the dead and on the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of The Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Sprit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins and ressurection of body and life everlasting.Amen.
Personal Creed: Following the original 10 Commandments makes for a good start.
I do not attend/follow any specific doctrine. When I read the (in my case) Bible, I read the black part and listen for answers relevant to me and my situation.
