Raised Catholic. Am now a Deistic Agnostic.

But if there is (and I swing more in the "yes" catagory than "no"), I choose to believe he made us like an artist makes his paintings or a clockmaker his watches: complete, with some imperfections, and (mostly) has left us alone to do our own thing.

Recently, I figured out that I don't fit in any religion, but I do believe in spirits and reincarnation. I think I started to believe in spirits and reincarnation in the past 5 years or earlier, I don't remember it right. Then, in 2022, I tried to consider Brazilian Kardecism, Umbanda or Candomblé, but never felt that I was really attached enough to those religions to consider myself part of their believers. So I decided to follow my own individual spirituality and I'm happy with that!

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I was born into, but as I grew, I had to know for myself it was true or not. I did a lot of praying and reading, and one day received an answer to my prayers. In this case, the best I can describe is a flow of light and knowledge, and a confirmation to my Spirit that it was true.
From then on I've had more experiences, but that was the start, and that is why I continue on the path I'm on.
