What religion were you raised in? [Spirituality & Religion]

@GodSpeed63 It's so hard to explain what being abused by clergy does to a person , You know the feeling you get from your faith ?That feeling of security? That freedom from fear of death? That certainty that there is a heaven and you will go there? I'm assuming you feel all of that .So it makes life much more bearable .I won't ever have that and believe me i'd rater be blissfully ignorant than to have to face the truth . This is what religion did ,not just some pedo priests.

@kodiac
I may not know what you went through with that idiot clergy but I do know what being abused by someone and I feel for you. I can't imagine of what you're going through right now, but I can only relate to you being that I was abused also by my schoolmates. I'll be praying for you.


I do have those feelings at times but I still have my doubts like everyone else. It's really hard to believe that I'm saved, especially when I mess up. The only difference is that God's Holy Spirit within me reminds me that He loves me and will not let me go.

Thank you ,you are one of the few i can debate with about religion ,the others get mad or act like i'm not worth their time .

@Krishh Do you mean that you have abandoned your search for reality, and are now in need of a good fantasy?

@newjaninev2
Difficult to explain.
In short. Wish to keep them reality (science & technology) and religion separate

@Krishh How are you planning to handle the resultant cognitive dissonance?

What got you into Wicca? I used to be super interested in it when I was young and questioning @Greenbare

😂@Peaches

@Peaches yep! I sat in Seaburg's drug store and ate jelly donuts with a bottomless cup of coffee...wonder why I prefer stretch pants now?

@Fernie LMAO!!!😜

@SW-User interesting. My dad's Jewish but he's agnostic

@Zeuro It was the 70s...I’m his age, but made the leap to atheist. What about u?

I'm atheist, have been since age 15 @SW-User

Which religion is that @GJOFJ3

@Zeuro Messianic Christian

@Cmstars my mom's a little disappointed, my dad's agnostic so he doesn't care

@Zeuro Hopefully it hasn't caused too much of an issue. Thank you for sharing.
