when i asked this question, why did the suggested category come up as gay and lesbian? no problem with them, but this has nothing to do with that.

I didn't leave my religion for discontentment alone. It just didn't make sense. And the more I find out of this world outside of the confines of that religion's boundaries, the more it seems as thought going back to it would be a regression. I have nothing against the religion and I respect people who choose to live that way -- they're mostly good people and they're just trying to do what's right -- but to go back would be awkward and unfitting. Plus, I fear I may giggle too much during the meeting.

I'm not Christian anymore, but I do not have a strong dislike for the religion. I just don't believe it. I don't like the attitudes of some of its members. For your own sake, work on forgiving the religion and the people who ticked you off. Try to even wish well the condescending people on here who are trying to tell you you are hell bound for leaving their little club. They're just threatened by your rejection of their faith. They'll be similarly threatened by your happiness. Isn't that sad? They actually hope you'll be miserable as a non-Christian. (All the more reason to avoid negativity IMO. ) It is a scare tactic. Don't fall for it. You'll be fine as sifted frog hairs.
Namaste and blessings,

Been there, done that, not going back. I was there and left it all behind. Christians talk about how amazing it is to have Jesus in their lives. I find it even more amazing to not have Jesus in my life, as well as god for that matter. I feel free, free to think and act how I want without this foreboding weight on my back. I do not despise religion, per se, but completely disregard and find no necessity for it. This might be the greatest form of freedom to be found in this world. Take care.

I was born and raised a Catholic and am now an atheist. I think the bible was the longest fairy tale ever written. I mean come on, the earth created in 7 days?!?! Universe being 6,000 years old?!?! GET REAL PEOPLE. It is physically impossible for these thigns to be true as well as there being a "divine force." Oh yea AND WE ROAMED THE EARTH WITH THE DINOSAURS HAHAHAHAHA.

No, never. I have found the path I was called to and live my life honorably and care for myself, family and community and honor the gods.
Raised Southern Baptist - I've recovered nicely.
Added: to an earlier poster - reading Revelation will not do it for me, thanks. I've read more coherent stuff from people on an LSD trip.

Sounds like you want someone to beg you to come back, but if that is your will, I'll say it's a cold cold world with Him. However even lost sheep can find their way home someday.

i consider myself agnostic. i gave up on organized religion long age although i tend towards the eastern philosophies with a dash of christianiry. religions were meant to teach people how to become spiritual, to get a personal contact with a higher power (whatever that is). today religion means money and power just like big business.
