A mixture....I believe in a higher power...whatever you want to call him...I believe he is the same and tha the gave us all different understandings of who he is based on who we are in order to understand him the best....I believe in life after death and karma...what goes around comes around...and that life and life's lessons are pre-destined....and that we are all here to learn those lessons...BUT because of free will it takes some longer than others....I believe that love and compassion for others should be the name of the game.....NOT judgement and being right!!!!!!!!

Some of the principle means of explaining why religion exists: as an explanation for what we don’t understand; as a psychological reaction to our lives and surroundings; as an expression of social needs; as a tool of the status quo to keep some people in power and others out; as a focus upon supernatural and “sacred” aspects of our lives; and as an evolutionary strategy for survival.
