What do you or don't you believe?

As I am new, I ascertain that this board seems to have a greater diversity of beliefs than the 'other board'.
I recognize quite a few monikers from the other board and there are many I don't. In an effort to get a better picture of MD, I hope you will answer.
Are you LDS, ex-LDS, athiest, EV, RCC, Agnostic, etc...?

For those that don't know me, I an evangelical with a few views that differ from the mainstream. Though I was an agnostic for a decade or so, prior to my conversion.

I'm a skeptic/agnostic. Used to be LDS, but haven't believed in it for almost 3 years. Wife recently left as well.

Geez, my wife is still hard core, even though she doesn't practice it at all. She holds it sancrosanct like a Catholc would his Rosary. I just don't get it.

I was attending mostly for the sake of family harmony, when my wife one day asked me to hand the bishop her temple recommend. She had finally read up on Mormon history for herself.

Well, my wife simply doesn't care.

Its scary. She is from S. America and she comes from a superstitious culture.

Well, I suppose you can be grateful she doesn't go.

Was she a convert?

Welcome to the board Mudcat,

Hmmm... sort of a pantheistic, Spinoza following, mystery embracing, wonder loving, nature religionist who believes there is more to the universe and existence than humans will ever comprehend.

Hi TD,

I'll have to check out Spinoza, I suppose. Do you believe in an afterlife..or is this it?

I lean towards natural theology, and agree with just about everything Einstein had to say about God. Maybe I should start my own church teaching Einsteinism. ;)
