"Are you Christian?"
"No."
"Well, what are you?"
"I'm rather eclectic."
"Huh?"
"I feel whatever you believe will happen when you die is what will happen for you."
"Oh."
True conversation from about a year ago. In the context that I'm a hospice social worker. We talk about death more often than not in the religious context.
I usually just say I'm "eclectic".
There are little things from a number of world religions that I find would be nice to believe in.
If they push me further, as our Chaplain does frequently, I can push back in a way that keeps me from getting fired, but protects my capability to have my own thoughts. It works for me.
