Wahaika, again I don't believe in the Christian God, so asking if I believe what naturally occurs with animals over what "God" says is right to be right, just shouldn't be asked when you are referring to your idea of "God" which is not my idea at all.
In a nutshell, because I don't want to hijack the thread too much here, I believe in one deity, you can call it "God" if you want, I generally say higher power. I believe it is not male or female, human or beast, it is a much higher being than we can comprehend but I believe it can take form of anything it wishes which is why different religions view it as different things. I don't believe in hell at all. Not trying to offend anyone. But I believe hell was a place made up by Christian type religions to scare people into doing the right things like not killing or stealing, to instill good values into them. I believe in an afterlife but it's not like the "heaven" Christians believe in. I believe in reincarnation and I believe we are hear to learn, yes, and each life we are given new lessons. We keep coming back until we have learned all we need to. In the afterlife we have jobs to do also, one of the jobs is being a "spirit guide" or a "guardian angel" to someone who is living. That being said we don't die them move on to the next life right away, sometimes it's years and years before we do. I also believe before our next life is chosen, we decide what kind of trials we want to go through, it's all preplanned.
Now to explain "spirits" or "ghosts" they are simply people who have not moved on. I am naturally clairvoyant, though I try to block out most of it, spirits not moved on can be hostile at times and I've had very scary experiences. But from my experience most that are not moves on A. do not know they are dead because maybe of a tragic death so they go about each day as if alive B. they have unfinished business, maybe getting revenge on the one that killed them or telling a loved one goodbye C. they are scared to move on to the afterlife because they "sinned" in their life and are afraid of going to hell. Yes I can talk to spirits, do I like to? No, they freak me out. That's why I block it most the time. Funny how many people today want the ability I have and I see it as a curse.
Now the most asked question I get is, if you don't believe in hell then how are the bad punished? I believe in karma. Whatever you do good or bad it comes back to you, in this life or in another. Which is why I feel I have gone through what I have, my soul was being punished for things I did in a past life. I have dreams that are either past events or the future or even present. And I know exactly what the past life did and plan to eventually write a book on it. I was writing the book but an ex of mine burned it to be spiteful. I believe I was a psychotic killer and serial rapist. And this life and the one right before this one, I have been paying for that.
As far as Paganism goes, I'm closely related to it because of my views on the afterlife and reincarnation. Also some Pagans believe in what's called an "All" which is the same as the deity I believe in. I do not however believe everything has a soul, like rocks, sorry just don't haha. I also do not practice the rituals they do, such as the ones for the different solstices. Those to me are all just old world rituals. Most Pagans worship a God and Goddess, God being the father sun, Goddess being mother earth. So the solstice rituals are to go along with that worship. They worshiped the sun that made their crops grow, the rain, and of course mother earth being the plants and such that feed them. This is all primitive ways of thinking. Just like Native Americans, their beliefs are closely related to Paganism as well. I also do not practice "magick" or witchcraft, which some Pagans and Wiccas do. I don't think it's something that should be messed with in my opinion.
I also believe religions primitive roots are all related and all stem down to the same beliefs just about. Look up the video "Zeitgeist" the part on religion in it will best describe what I mean. The video is on youtube and google videos. Most of it is about government conspiracies, but the part about religion made perfect sense to me on how all the organized religions are related. That's why I think religious wars are pointless.
I think that about sums up the main points without going into way too much detail. If I go into it with too much detail we'll be here for days or weeks lol.
