I'm spiritual, having great respect to most religions. There's something to learn from all of them. I have to admit that the pythagoreans and foremost Platos beliefs fit into my image.

In Greece there are people cellebrating on the 7th as well. It depends wheather you belong to the new or the old calendar. Officially it is the new one that counts.

I have been a true believer since the age of 20 when God blew my world open and showed me how REAL He is.

I LOVE Greece with all my heart but it will never become my God.

Jesus saves.

Hehehe, sometimes such words do make me smile, its good to see it brings happiness to you Alita.

What is happiness to everyone?

You ascribe your faith to phenomenal interactions? Actualy saw things that could not be explained by the rational side of the brain?

What did you apply to come to the conclusion that your God made his presence felt? Mathematics, any scientific analyses? Logic?

I pose these questions without any attempt to offend you, we have had many conversations about this, it just fascinates me how strongly you believe.

I believe in the One Triune God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I believe in the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Faith, I believe in the remission of sins, the resurrection of the dead, and in life everlasting. Christian Orthodox, in other words.

Personally I consider myself more Pagan. I worship nature and everything nature can create and destroy. I suppose you can call me a Naturist. I believe this is why I enjoy the Olympian Gods. After all they do represent all aspects of Nature just with human form in order to better understand them. Nature to me is a life force in which all things exist. Many people easily forget that we are a natural part of this world and that we must find harmony within it and not destroy it. I think Nature needs to be respected more, after all, just look at all the natural disasters that have happened in recent years. We destroy what Mother Nature created in order to make money and then we complain when she destroys us. We need to learn to balance our modern world while preserving the natural barriers and wonders of the world.

If the natural barriers around Louisiana were not dredged in order to create new ports for ships to dock then the flooding that happened in New Orleans would not have occured. There are so many examples.

Anyways I loosely vote for #2 even though I don't believe nature is a metaphysical being('s) or an entity.
