All this time I've never known there was a term for my religious and spiritual beliefs.
Turns out, I’m an “Omnist."
"The belief that no one religion is perfectly right and yet, no one religion is totally wrong. Each religion and even science has a bit to offer to the total experience of faith and our world. Almost every religion is fundamentally the same. A God or Gods created, and or rule over the earth. Also we should know that we exist and try to live our lives in a positive manner. The problem is that these books have conflicting rules amongst each other and even in themselves. This is where the hand of man came in. For the Christians/catholic people, yes. The bible dictates very explicitly that god’s word should not be changed. But in the thousands of years the bible and every other religious text has been in print and translated, the interpretation of man steps in. Even when the books were first written they were subject to interpretation. This is where Omnism helps out.”
“An Omnist is someone who seeks and is open to spiritual truths from many religions and then comes up with their own individual form of faith or spirituality. Omnists realize that although all religions have some powerful spiritual truths and great wisdom in them which can be very inspirational and moving, they also contain a lot of human opinion, social politics, and outdated viewpoints (beliefs and rules that made sense at one point in history but don’t apply as well in today’s world). Omnists explore spirituality and religion in a modern context using reason and their intelligence as well as their intuition and insights gained from personal mystical/spiritual experiences. The key is what has meaning and relevance to each individual in their seeking. You could say that for Omnists the focus is spirituality more than religion and the general approach is exploratory and open minded rather than dogmatic and rule-based. Omnists tend to be freethinking, non-dogmatic, non-hierarchical, syncretistic and science-friendly. Omnists respect the rights of each individual to have their own spiritual/religious views as long as those views do not espouse harming or being intolerant of those who disagree with them.”
