I am what I am, and I guess by other people's definition that would be dangerously close to "angry atheist" and/or "the Antichrist". Though I find "spiritual succor" in the enjoyment of fantasy literature, roleplaying games, movies etc.

I'm a Dualist Pantheist who believes that you are reincarnated by someone else, but they are just the original template that drastically changes every life and that after you die you dont go to heaven or hell but you join a collective conciousness thing where your mind is still alive, but you have no physical form and you can watch people close to you, but cannot influence anything else. Also I believe that humans are not "Superior Beings" or anything like that but that we are just as subject to the laws of the world as any squirrel or bear but we just have ambitions

I'm not sure if that makes sense.
I also want to hear from other people on their thoughts on my beliefs especially other pantheists.
I also believe in some nonreligious version of Karma so that everything balances, like if you help someone across the street, a bad feeling with let you escape getting hit by a car, etc.
I have no problem with other religions I just question why if a commandment was that "Thou shalt not kill" then christians, (who I officially am, cuz i was baptized communionized etc) killed tens of thousands to make them convert

Hehe, I love how this thread just keeps going. 
Anyway, my thoughts aren't really different in regards to your religion than in regards to any other, pantheistic or monotheistic - it's a belief, predicated on no real evidence, and it sounds to me like one that you've picked because it appeals, and for little other reason (forgive me if that assumption is incorrect, but that is what it sounds like to me). *shrug*
Your example of karma, while I take it as just an example, also seems to be a bit...disproportionate?
Is that intentional (as in not so much balance, but reward/punish by some arbitrary scale, in which case how is it determined as it is nonreligious?) or was the example just accidentally a bit...extreme? XD
And your last point really comes down to something I think is well-covered in debates the world over - religion =/= the religious. I.e. as with anything involving people, it can be shaped and used in many different ways, regardless of original intent or even intent of the people in question. Your concern there is more with the Christians than with Christianity, in other words. And it's a problem every religion, though especially those which have teachings or 'rules', has to face and will never overcome.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Adjutant, you should give Mafia a chance! Here is some literature you can read, like this one titled, "What Mafia Can Do for Your Life" and "Should Mafia be Taught in Schools?". We would be happy to have you at to one of our meetings. You can even bring a friend.

Whilst I appreciate the effort, I've yet to see any Mafia-based-media that inform me of it's fun-ness.

Neopaganism is the modernisation of traditional Pagan beliefs, with emphasis on loving nature and animals. The 'monotheistic' bit I add because I believe there is some 'higher power' kind of thing, but I don't put too much faith in that since proving it's existence is impossible.
I tried to put it across in the briefest way. I think I did a fair job of explaining it
