No Sir. I don't practice any religion. I do however believe in God. I don't need to go to Any buildings to communicate with God. I dont need to have any books show me how to live. However I do not put people down if they practice a religion.
Which God?
What exactly do you mean ?!

Can I see the options ?!

Conceptions of God vary widely. Theologians and philosophers have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of civilization. The Abrahamic conceptions of God include the monotheistic definition of God in Judaism, the trinitarian view of Christians, and the Islamic concept of God. The dharmic religions differ in their view of the divine: views of God in Hinduism vary by region, sect, and caste, ranging from monotheistic to polytheistic to atheistic. Divinity were recognized by the historical Buddha, but they play a subordinate role in the devotee's personal path to salvation. Conceptions of God in the latter developments of the Mahayana tradition give a more prominent place to notions of the divine.
Pick one!
The God I believe in is by far less complicated than the options given above. I believe IN a creator that created this universe and that based on how we live our life and treat eachother , there may be a reward after we are done here.
The "creator" part is important as to how the creator you believe in wants you to live your life and how he wants you to treat others in order to get your just rewards "after you are done here." Some gods have their heads up their ass's for their intolerance for other gods. Is your God tolerant of other Gods?
Most definitely ! My God is pretty laid back and doesn't feel threatened by other Gods. In fact he'd enjoy a few cold beers with any other Gods. He's not a jealous God. He does enjoy great conversations , a long hovering over the beach and real sports like Hockey.

Would you say that you believe in a Supreme Being but not in any one religion then, since you don't practice a religion and you state that your God is not a jealous God? All the popular Gods profess to be jealous Gods so the one you believe in imust be an uncommon one and one I'd like to hear more about. Your Freudian slip might be more on the money in that you feel that you are your own God, living by your own rules of good or evil, with just rewards. What kind of just rewards are you planning on?
Supreme Being , Creator of the universe , God .. It's all the same regardless of how you label it.
I don't believe in any religion but I don't sea anything wrong with people thar do. What I do see as wrong is if someone tries to force their personal belief upon others , whether it's Mormons telling you " it's the only way to heaven " , or extreme islamists " you have to convert to Islam or I'll kill you " , or morons like PeePeeParfait " you morons don't know anything! I know everything ",,, it's all wrong.
I don't expect any specific rewards. I try my best to live life as a good citizen and hoping that there is an afterlife where I get to see my two sons again and of course other loved ones.
