Syncretic? How so?

My ancestors adopted certain practices upon arriving in the new world.
I can only attest to what I know in family after my Paternal lines arrival in the US(or soon to be) , and to the modern(the last 80 years) practices of my maternal line which follow those of my paternal line(similar regions of the country and socio-economic status).

Syncretism in practices commonly seen in Native American, African, and Afro-Caribbean faiths. It was only as an adult where I was able to examine, contrast, and compare.
This is not uncommon in the united states and many people dont realize they are practicing what is essentially heretical forms of Christianity. I have over my life been "invited" to not attend a few Churches once the nature of my religious views were discovered. I have been flat out told I was unwelcome only once-- the point in all instances was made regardless.

Lately I've been following Buddhist philosophy. It seems like a pure way of life.

Also, the amount of Christians and irreligious individuals are ineresting, if not unsurprising. This is a largely Western-based site.

Syncretic Christianity? That sounds interesting.

I am a Protestant and agree with it for the most part, but don't think any sect (including Catholics and Orthodox) are right on everything.

I like the unity and hierarchy of the Catholics and Orthodox though I agree with Protestants more on theology.

I may attempt to combine all of them, or reform my beliefs to the original Christianity laid out in the Bible.

The "Original" Christianity would be to follow Christ.
I call it "Red Word" Christianity. Many entrenched traditionalists get nervous when you start talking like that, when you start asking why the Pastor needs a Cadillac, why the parish priest drives a Porsche, why the sermon spent 45 minutes talking about how wrong homosexualism(is that a word?) is, but only 10 minutes of Praise, why the church can afford to refloor the basketball court but cant ever seem to feed/clothe/ aid the homeless/elderly/invalids/prisoners.

You want to see a Clergyman sweat? Start quoting Matthew 6, they will start fumbling for all the reasons why it doesnt mean what it says.

I do think modern Christianity has lots of problems, but I do not think it is necessarily hethen. It began 2000 years ago, so how can we know what Christianity was supposed to be like?
Christians still believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Trinity, and the Resurrection.

You do make some good points, though.

Homosexualism is not a word, the word you meant is homosexuality.

And no, I don't want to see a clergyman sweat.

Wikipedia sez:
The philosophy or life stance of secular humanism (alternatively known by some adherents as Humanism, specifically with a capital H to distinguish it from other forms of humanism) embraces human reason, ethics, and philosophical naturalism while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and superstition as the basis of morality and decision making. Secular Humanism is not a religion. Humanists don't worship anything. To a Secular Humanist, Religious Humanism is an oxymoron.

You can be a religious humanist though.
