Comments: I like your web site! Your path is very similar to mine. I was raised Southern Baptist. But it just didn't fit. The Bible is a book of ethics told in nice stories. But most people take it far too literally. And it's severely outdated in many areas. I gave up Christianity and began my journey into feeling part of Nature and the Earth still feeling there was "something" out there. (Not UFOs out there...) Then Star Wars came along and The Force pretty much summed up my belief in what God the Spirit is - the basic energy of the universe. Later I discovered Wicca and began tapping that energy. I lost my path for a while but I'm back on it now. (I have Bipolar Disorder, a nasty mental illness, and have had a tough last 6 years.) But rededicating myself to my beliefs has helped bring me back. Of course, no one takes me seriously now but that doesn't matter. Except one of my daughters believes in and is learning all about Wicca, which is very nice. Feel free to Email me.

Comments: I'm 14. My whole life I've been scorned upon by my parents and other devout christians for being individual and having my own beliefs. Most people dislike others who see differently. I'm seen as a threat, or a troublemaker. Of course, I have found friends who see as I do, and aren't blinded by the mind-controlling wave of Christians and self-rightous, self-serving people who call themselves Christians. I respect their faith, if it helps them put a meaning to life than all the better. They should at least be happy before they die. Death, a biological process of ceasing neurons. People don't want to know this, so they turn to a religion supporting after-life. I'm sorry, you may disagree with me and see this controversely, but please consider pasting this on your website. I agree with you whole-heartedly on every issue you've brought up. I read your site and thought somebody was reading my mind. Thank you so much putting this up here for people to see and!
hopefully learn from. I will help promote your site if you like. I run several myself. E-mail me back if that's okay with you. I didn't mean to rant about Christians and complain, I just wanted to show people how prejudice they are against anything different. I hope they will open their minds and hearts.
