I'm into Deism. I believe there is a creator, but it doesn't directly influence our lives.

I was born into a Jewish family, and have been so all my life.

Same here except I'm agnostic. I do not know whether or not there is/was a living god but if there was I suspect he/she/it was killed in the big bang.

I just want to say that i'm catholic. I was buddhist once but my teacher khenser wandak rinpoche once told us somthing that i wll never forget. he said that whatever religion you where raised with is what you will always be no matter what you convert to. No matter how much you belive in your new faith deep within your heart you will always be what you always were. This is why when we christians see or hear somthing astonishing we exclaim "Oh my god!" likewise tibetan buddhists exclaim "Padmasambava!" even if you convert from say christianity to say jewdism you will still always say "Oh my god!" much to your rabbis shagrin. You are what you are and no one can take that from you. Wise words from a wise man. By the way i do still study buddhism have for 10 years even been to kopan monastary in nepal buddhist monks like catholic's they say it's very similar to tibetan buddhism and i somewhat agree.

I am the only Buddhist on this website?

WTF is the world coming to?

Just because you were born under the influence of a certain religion does not automatically mean that you become part of that same circle.
