What religion am I ?

Clayton,

What you describe is pretty much the exact description of being a Mormon.

no- he's Jewish. the primary principle of Judaism is that there is one God. He thinks there is one God. He likes the teachings of the bibles but doesn't like the stories.

There is a story about a Rabbi from long ago. Guy says "Rabbi, if you can teach me everything there is to know about judaism while I stand one foot, I'll convert." Rabbi said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Everything else is just commentary. Now go study."

You're just another traveler, asking the questions that have plagued man since the dawn of time.

Who are we? Why are we here? What is this?

Your views would easily fit into the Unitarian Universalist Church I attend, for the simple reason that the place is totally without dogma. There are many differences among the various Unitarian congregations. Some are more "Christian" than others. But at my congregation, the overriding principle is that virtually any point of view is accepted.

nh. This was my first thought for a match when I read OP. Clayton, it's not my bag, but you may find Unitarianism very much yours.

I'd say Unitarian or Reform Judaism, depending on how much Jesus you through in the mix. If you think of Jesus as the Messiah, that rules out Judaism, unless you take the Messianic Judaism route, but let's not go there. However, if you just accept Jesus as a spiritual teacher, there are some liberal Jewish congregations where you'd fit in without too much trouble. Unitarianism is more likely your choice, however. Or Ethical Society.

I was raised Christian but I'm not really into embracing the trinity thing. However, I embrace a lot in the Bible regarding Jesus' spiritual teachings.

I've already read and embraced writings in the Koran, a good bit in Buddhism, a "little" in Hinduism, very little reading in the far eastern religions like Dao and Sikh.

I believe in some kind of entity regarding creation but do not believe in any of the "storybit" stuff put into organized religion, like adam and eve, or the concept of jihad, or a god with an elephant's head.

I am pessimistic about the idea of an afterlife or incarnation, but I'm kinda agnostic in this regard.

What the hell am I?

You pull from many cultures and philosophies, the very manner in which you choose to develop your spirituality defies the boundries that a label places. I guess the important first step in finding out how to label yourself is finding out why you care in the first place.
