I Am Not Religious

According to Urban Dictionary, a REBEL is defined as:

A person who stands up for their own personal opinions despite what anyone else says. A true rebel stands up for what they believe is right, not against what's right. It's not about smoking crack, drinking till you're rendered unconscious, or beating the crap out of anyone that crosses your path. It's all about being an individual and refusing to follow a crowd that forces you to think the same way they do even if it means becoming an outcast to society. True rebels know who they are and do not compromise their individuality or personal opinion for anyone. They're straightforward and honest and they will sure as hell tell it like it is.

My husband recently became a "born-again" Christian. He and I were both raised in the Catholic faith, but neither of us were religious. We both were highly spiritual though. Now, with his new changes, it weighs out a toll on me. He is very involved in events that are held with the church and I always make it clear to him that he can do what makes him happy, but I would rather not join him.

I've always considered myself to be "different". Am I rebellious? I feel as though I am. I hold true to my beliefs and opinions and I won't allow myself to agree with anything else otherwise. I try not to let these...

I think I'm more of a rebel myself. There are things in the bible that really scare the crap out of me. And even if it's there plain in sight in words, I still can't believe some of it. For example, the roles women play in a marriage, or just in a relationship with a man. I don't agree with the idea of losing some of my power and being submissive. It dos not register to me naturally and I can't force myself to just deal and accept it.

That's the thing about religion, it's just s organized and there's no shortcut or other roads around it. If you're a part of it, people expect you to be part of all it. If you're husband is recently a born-again Christian, give him time. He might be doing all these things because he's excited about where he's at. But once it gets old and sinks down a little, he might relax.
