Do you find it possible to be half a religion or belief?

Question:I had a falling out with Catholicism many years ago and then found a reconnection with God through Buddhism. I have many strong Buddhist beliefs that coincide with my Christian beliefs. Even though I'm not really Buddhist and not really Christian, being a little of each has helped me reconnect with myself, my spirituality, and has helped to realize that things happen for a reason. Yeah, Christobuddhism isn't a religion, but it makes me a more understanding, more open-minded, more caring person.

no. you can be between ideas and searching. but, to be commited to a certain belief you have to have you whole heart in it..

it depends on what you mean. I not only think it is possible to be half a religion i believe it is essential as being a whole religion is far to contradictory and extreme. as to half a belief. well that is much harder. if you have a belief then you believe it. of course you can half beleive something but you will eventually reach a point where you have to decide between believing it or not.

yeah a bunch of my friends are halfies but i dont think u can be for ex. athiest and christian

Yes, I think you can.

yes. if you only think parts of a religion are good then you're not really in the whole religion like the religion wants you to be, but you don't totally disagree with it either.

a belief is different, but i still think you can half it. and you can do doublethink on it too, you can believe it and also not believe it at the same time.

Well i look at it this way. It is true or false nothing is in between. existance of God ( yes or no). It is good or bad if you have faith is some thing you belive or you donot belive.so half belief is like not beliving only.

This is my positive opinion regarding religion:

-A religion that stresses the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, will draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by traditional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge. Carl Sagan

As far as being half a religion or belief, at least it means that you are thinking seriously about all of the aspects involved.
