Shouldn't you just put the info thats already on the other lists onto this one?
It sound a lot more easy then having everyone ask to be put on again.

People's idea of what their sexuality is can change. People can change their religion. People can think they're one gender for a long time before realizing they're trans*. In other words, they just aren't up to date, and thus a fresh set is more reliable.

Sexuality: Cis scum. IIRC I had a bicurious phase when I was young, but I'm at least 85% Hetero now.
Gender Identity: I am a MAN. A MANLY MAN.
Religion: I don't even think about religion enough to care either way. Uh, agnostic I guess.

Atheist.

My parents baptized me as a Protestant at age can't talk yet, so I am still written down as a member of the church, but consider myself more of an Atheist. Take it as you want.

IRC Name: Liche
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Gender Identity: Male
Religion: Between Theist and Agnostic.

My feelings for God is sort of like:

@ Hackenbacker
Is there a difference between Kemetic Paganism and Kementism, or are they different names for the same thing? (I tired looking this up, and learned that paganism means a lot more than just Wicca, but also got confused, because Wikipedia says Kementism is also apparently called Egyptian Neopaganism, and now my brain's just all tangled up.)

@ Jojo's Bizarre Bazaar
Do you mean agnostic theist? Or is it more complicated than that? Because an "I want to believe" sort of mindset sounds more like somewhere between agnostic theism and pure agnosticism, at least in my mind.

@ everyone
Sorry for all the questions and bringing up potentially touchy things. I'm honestly just curious, and not trying to push anyone into any boxes, or start any flamewars. I apologize in advance if I said anything erroneous or insensitive.
Oh, and can someone tell me how to reply to multiple posts at once? I know it's possible, but a quick search didn't yield any results.

There isn't really a button for it – you gotta copy and paste and add a bit of code. What I did for that above:

Yes, I know it is a little complicated.

The difference between "Pagan" and "Neopagan" is pretty much just a slight historical and grammatical difference. "Pagan" can sometimes just be used to describe the old beliefs of the ancients, and also the new movements. "Neopagan" just means "new pagan" and is usually the term to refer to the modern Pagan movement, but sometimes also the "New Age" movements as well. Both terms are interchangeable.

Paganism, like many religions, has plenty of branches and different takes. Wicca, is obviously the most popular and well known, but Paganism also has branches including Druidry, Asatru, British Traditional Craft, and something called "Polytheistic reconstructionism."

Basically, unlike most of the other branches, reconstructionists look to old beliefs and try to follow as by the book and ethically sound as possible. (Basically Roman Recons aren't going to sacrifice a bull every few months.) Recon can follow many branches, Celtic, Greek (Called Helllenistic), Roman, Armenian, Slavic, and yes, Ancient Egyptian.

Now, like again most religions, this branch has branches. Kemetism, named after the Ancient Egyptian word for Egypt, Kemet, has it's own branches and varying styles of worship. Kemetic Orthodoxy, is an established church. It has it's own way of setting rituals and worshiping. Fun fact, they can determine who your literal god parents are by cowrie shell divination.
Other than that, there's just basic reconstruction, which is where I fall. I worship most of the gods on a personal level, give offerings at an altar, and try to follow the way of order known as Ma'at.

Now, unlike most religions, Paganism actually allows people to blend a few beliefs together until you find your pick, so unlike some Kemetics, I still follow the Wheel of the Year Cycle, (Yes today is a big day for me being the Solstice and all) and the group I normally go to for rituals is a Druid group. Even though I personally worship multiple Egyptian gods, I find it easier to follow the Year Cycle and worship with other Polytheistics.

So there you have it, any questions, comments, or incense recipes feel free to contact me. Thank you letting me post this long ass wall of text, but knowledge is power!

I usually don't reveal my true self, but for this:

IRC: PEPSI MAN
Sexuality: Pansexual; Sex is not very interesting to me.
Gender: Agender
Religion: Agnostic; I think a god could exist, but I also try to follow the rules of science as well.

..I may have not been the first to ask, but what is the primary goal of this survey? What will it be used for?

Nothing official or fancy. It's just a curiosity, primarily. It also helps people learn more, explore a bit about new ideas, and become more knowledgeable about their fellow memers.

The amount of diversity on KYM, in some ways, is amazing. The lgbt+ community is, proportionally speaking, giant, and diverse religions are present.

On the other hand, as the list can attest to, it's an absolute sausage fest.

There is a much simplier way.

Just add "bq." at the beginning of the sentence, and a space afterwards. The quote will extend for as long as you don't press enter twice.

bq. Like this.

You would really organize a orgy? And BTW sometimes someone gets left out in orgies, would that count as someone just watching?

Ha! Of course not. Maybe. And… He/she will just have to jump in and hope for the best!

Gender: male
Orientation: homosexual, but maybe just a bit of bi
Religion: originally Roman Catholic by birth, but now i think i'm more aligned with Buddhism more than anything (do's and dont's, human nature, mysticism, etc)
