Answer 1

Islam is good enuf for me....and its cool!

Answer 2

I'm an agnostic now but after leaving the chrisitanity I was raised with I was a eclectic pagan for a number of years. I don't feel it was a conversion because no one pressured or strong armed me, I just found that path myself.

I have studied other religions mostly through taking four comparative religions classes in college.

Answer 3

I was raised Jewish but found some of the beliefs and traditions and mainly written-in-stone dogma just did not feel right for me, so I started learning about other religions, particularly Pagan ones like Wicca. I now consider myself Eclectic, having merged some of my Jewish upbringing with other religions ways and my own beliefs to make a unique religion all of my own.

Answer 5

Yes, I was brought up protestant, married a Catholic and converted to Catholicism. Then I dropped that when I left my first husband. I did not consider myself a member of any church, but sort of generically Christian, for about ten years. Gradually, I began to identify as an Episcopalian.

Then one day the Episcopalian chaplain at school, who was my friend, was talking with me about how women were becoming deacons, probably in order to be well positioned once the church started ordaining women. I considered it, and said, "Well, then when they ordained me, I'd be a priestess, right?" "Oh, no," he said, "they will never use that term. Sounds too pagan."

In my innocence, I asked, "What's so bad about sounding pagan?" He suggested that since I felt that way, I should go to California and become a pagan priestess.

So I did. I've never regretted it.

Answer 6

I have studied religions my entire life and started out as a Christian (Methodist) went to a Brethren congregation then back to Methodist then was agnostic a while (issues) then became Buddhist and now feel things morphing again. I am changing...I find that no one is static, we should all be changing and seeking truth where we can find it.
