I am a born again Christian (That means I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and He controls my life), from the Baptist convention (an oxymoron since Baptists don't have any conventions) and influenced by the Charismatic renewal of the seventies.
Lately God has been steering me into an understanding of other religions and that course led me here through a post on the Sangha site.
Muslims define Islam as submission to God, so I fit that definition but they extend it to the Quaran which like the writings of Moses contains many laws but all lawfullness is fulfilled in me by Jesus not books. So in effect the Muslims redefine me out of Islam because they don't think I observe the law (sharia).
I wouldn't make a very good Buddhist because I believe in God, war and suffering.
I tried reading the Hindu scriptures but decided it just wasn't worth it since they were much less than inspiring.
I am now reading a book about a Sikh master and finding it quite enjoyable.
