Dragons and Spirituality.

[Inuya]

Thank you again. I was misinformed yet again, all the people I ever knew who called themselves pagan used the term pagan and wiccan interchageably so the thought they were the same.

Are you otherkin?

Yes.

What's your religion?

None. I consider myself to be druid-like in many respects, but would never associate with an organization of druids.

Does your belief in what you are contradict with your religion?

Not applicable.

If it does...

Not applicable.

If you do not have a religion or are anti religious then please explain why you believe you are not human.

I'll allow myself to visit churches and such if a friend would like me to, just for social niceties. I might even allow myself to respect some religions out there. But I've forbidden myself to become an active member of a religious organization because I fear religion greatly, and the reason for that fear would have to be a totally different topic in the Debates section. As for the latter part of the question, I do believe that I am human, and I believe that I am human because my parents are human. On a spiritual level, I'm neither human nor dragon, but a soul operating an intricate and complex machine developed ingeniously through billions of years of evolution. What makes me otherkin is that my soul would PREFER to occupy a dragon's body and isn't occupying one currently. Why such a condition exists is still a mystery to me.

Are you otherkin?

Yes, a wolf/therian.

What's your religion?

Well, in a way I'm agnostic/pagan. Simple fact is, I believe in afterlife, I believe in the soul living on. I believe in the devil/demons/magical creatures/angels, but not God (weird I know). My religion is confusing, I also believe in magick, ghosts and all that jazz. So anyone who can help me find the right name would be great!

Does your belief in what you are contradict your religion?

No, in a way...it's kind of for it.

Why or why not?

Because of my belief in magick and spiritual/magick animals and things beyond this land.

If it does contradict your religion, then why do you follow it if there is no room for your kind in it?

There is plenty of room for it.

If you do not have a religion or are anti religious then please explain why you believe you are not human

I'm not religious but I am. I believe in certain parts of religions but not all, and my beliefs are from all kinds of areas.

Please use correct capitalization. ~Namhias.

Are you otherkin?

from the moment of my awakening to this day I've never been sure if I'm only having a strong affinity (hope I'm using the right word) towards dragons or really am/were/will be one.

What's your religion?

Christian. because of that (and what the thing in my head called "logic" says when I think about it) I'm very cautious with anything supernatural. but my problem here is that in spite of that I'm very curious about it and greedy for information/people's experiences with it. so if you got anything to share, PM me

Does your belief in what you are contradict your religion?

well sometimes in the Bible dragons are portrayed as evil..... further than that I really don't know

Why or why not?

I dont know <.< >.>

If it does contradict your religion, then why do you follow it if there is no room for your kind in it

well my affinity towards dragons/my draconity always keeps poking around in me and I believe in my religion as well. there is no real conflict or something. both are just there and feel like they're telling me the truth

last question: not applicable

[Jasriella]

Are you otherkin?
Yes, I firmly believe that I was once a dragon in my past life and I still belong as a dragon and strive to figure out a way to become so

What's your religion?
I am Agnostic as well, I question all forms of religion for there has been thousands of years for the leaders of those religions to re-wright their sacred books to better suit their own needs, so what is the truth in those texts? Yes, I do know that there is a higher being, maybe even many, but I don not know fore certain what to even call it/them so I will remain questioning. I believe in magic, spirits, ghosts, a peaceful afterlife for those of whom that lead a good life and not one of foul deeds, alternate dimensions, and another world where dragons could still live.

Does your belief in what you are contradict your religion? Why or why not?
It actually suits my being very well. Dragons have always been thoughtful and spent most of their lives learning of the workings of the universe. I'm just one of those of whom that don't know where to start.

If you do not have a religion or are anti religious then please explain why you believe you are not human.
Because something in my gut instinct tells me that I don't belong with people, that I'm not even part of them. I want to fly and live among my scaled brethren but thats not possible at the moment and I have actually woken up in tears from wonderful dreams of flying and being with other dragons, because I know that I will most likely never get to do that in this life.

Are you otherkin?

I think that term applies to me. It is certainly the closest fitting term to describe what I feel I am.

What's your religion?

I have none. Religion in many cases is a way for people to come to terms with what they fear after they die. I do not... not because I KNOW what is going to happen, but because I dont. I know how I came to be here... but there is nothing to say I will not simply cease to be after this life. Or be born again as a dragon once more. or human, or a dog. I take joy in the unknown, religions are set up to... Make you fear it. To live a 'good' life now, with promise of reward.


Does your belief in what you are contradict your religion? Why or why not?

My belief in what i am is based on what i was. What I am, and will be, is known, and forever changing. I both contradict and reaffirm my own beliefs every minute.

If you do not have a religion or are anti religious then please explain why you believe you are not human.

I remember my sister. My playmates. Living. Dying. A journey... a new life. I remember what i was. I remember not having thoughts, of pleasures and pains unfiltered through a mind, like a sparking spring, pure... I do not feel myself to be 'human' because I remember NOT being human.
