The other day I was asked what religion I am.  My answer was, "I don't really have a religion."  I got a confused look in return and explained that I'm not a church-going person of any particular faith.  I am spiritual, not religious. What follows is based SOLELY on my own knowledge and experience and is strictly MY personal belief:

Every religion on Earth, regardless of origin, has 4 basic principles, no matter what entity is in charge of that religion.  The power you believe to be "in charge" has a message for you that is at the root of your religion and this is what he/she/it is saying to you:

1.  I love you.

2.  Be good to yourself and others and the world around you.

3.  I'll be with you again some day.

4.  It may take a while.

Jesus, Buddha, Allah, etc., all have the same 4 messages (as far as I can tell).  And I believe that as long as you just believe these 4 things, everything else is up for interpretation.  Everything else religion is based on is hearsay.  I didn't see the burning bush, did you?

So..yeah…that's what I believe.  Comment if'n ya wanna.
