I see the Catholics...
always in confession or mass.
I see the Mormons...
one man, many women.
I see the Baptist...
some loud, some quite.
I see the Buddist...
always silent and in prayer.
I see the Hindus...
searching for enlightenment.
I see the Pagens...
still living the old ways.
I see myself...
where do I belong?

Perhaps you belong nowhere?  oblivion has always been perfered over indecision.  Just remember that life is yours, live it your way.  Let nothing dictate it, be it a diety or flesh and blood mortal.

Great poem! In fact I was so captivated I was writing out my answer to your question!  But don't want to appear as a preacher.  It's good that you are asking.  I pray you find home like I have.

"Here in Your courts where I'm close to Your throne,
I've found where I belong."

A question I'm sure many have pondered. There are so many diverse 'religions' out there it's hard for one to know just what to believe.

The Truth, the Light and the Way, is Jesus.
None come unto the father except through ME. (Jesus)

When you seek, you shall find! Stick with His word, instead of the words of men, and you can't go wrong. I hope you find what you search for.

Well of course, here is only ONE of the places you belong...so keep asking your questions and someday the answer WILL come to you...

in the meantime, on my part, a belated WELCOME to Passions!

   First, I found your stereotypes of the different religious groups very humerous.
Thank you for making lite of a very heavy subject.  I admit that I have many of the same images.  Now, to answer the question, "Where do I belong?"  I believe the answer is in a relationship.  Just my opinion. I hope, who ever or what ever group you decide to have a relationship with, they will nurture and cherish your special gifts.
