| Hoo, boy, am I coming into this late in the game. I can relate to a lot of the prevous posts: I was raised Christian, got scared into obedience by a fire and brimstone preaching parent, who also happened to be very hipocritical, and by the time I was 19, I decided to enlist in the Military to get away from said parents influence. After I'd been enlisted for about six monts or so, I learned that among my circle of friends were an Atheist (although he seemed to be more of an Agnostic, to me), a number of Wiccans and Pagans, a Bhuddist, and a few examples of Christianity at its best. I also realized that years of seeing hipocrisy in my parent (singular, it was only one of my parents, and that one criticized anyone to didn't adhere to their personal interperetation), I was so bittered and biased that I couldn't view Christianity with an open mind. So I decided to take a step back, take a look at every religion I had an oppourtunity to, and really think about my faith. I decided after much soul searching that instead of picking a doctrine and adhering to it, I would look around untill I found a set of religious belifs that closesly matched my own deep seated beliefs. Such as: God is essentially sexless, neither male nor female, but with aspects of both, and may choose to present itself in many different forms. And morality is what is most important. All life is sacred, take life only when you must. No one view is perfect for everyone, religion must be able to adapt to each individual's personal needs. And (I humbly paraphrase from Hamlet) more exists in this world than is dreampt of in all our sciences, ideals, and philosophies. After I met my husband, and started learning about his religion, Wicca, with Druidic influences, I realized that Wicca matches my personal beliefs the best, and fulfills my spiritual needs the best. Will it always do that? I don't know. But I am committed to this path for as long as I can grow and move forward on it. |

LOL! Yes, I've heard that phrase - I've just never been able to figure out what it means! I mean, it's not proper grammar, you know...?
This reminds me of the phrase: "If you build it, they will come..." which was, I think, from some movie. Can't remember which...
- - - - -
Anyway, since I'm here, I want to grab the opportunity and express my condolences towards all the Catholics here, on the passing of Pope John Paul II. - Although he was very conservative in many things, I always had a great respect for him, and he was indeed a remarkable man (as well as the only pope who has visited Iceland so far). I'm glad that his suffering is now over, and that he is resting in peace with God now. 
And it will be interesting to see who will be the next Pope...  |
