My religion story

Post Reply New Topic

Its hard because i grew up in a christian house hold were people believed that there was a god and this god created us and earth.
They took me to church and read me the bible even took me to bible school to learn about god. Everything evolved around god.
And they told me that god was a grate person and you should respected him and what he gave you. Now i understood this i was young and very smart for my age and the thing was i was connected to earth but i wasn't connected to god. I didn't believe in god and what he created so one day when i was around six years old i asked my mom something that kinda shocked her a little i said in all truth "Mom are we robots" Now i can clearly reamber this day and what i was trying to say is "Mom are we being controlled" She told me no and that we had free will.
Now when i got older i didn't believe anything but the paranormal. I even believed i was a atheist. And growing up my mom was awesome.
But my other family wasn't they believed that if you didn't believe in there god you would go to hell. Well as i got older i became more understanding and more understand of people. And i told them "i don't believe in this" But i understand you. And bad idea! My family tryed blaming my not believing it on everything in the book like my "disibleteys" and my "understanding" now my mom told me "i believe what i want to believe and be happy with what you do" But sometimes i could see she believed the same as the others. it hurt. but ill shorten it up.
i got older and i forgot about the others i thought myself to not believe in anything. but i was still oddly connected to earth and other gods.
I was also very into mythology. and i believed in other gods but not worshiped them. eventually i believed god the christian god was real but i didn't follow him. infact i looked up to other gods. but now followed them. and soon i meant someone who in my life thought me more then just religion thought me understanding in myself and others. and became the best person in my life i have ever had. my best friend she showed me what i was inside and told me "its up to you to know" but this is what i think you are because i am the same. a wiccan and now i am a wiccan because it turns out she was correct =) we are also soon moving in together. and that's my religion. just a little something i wanted to share guys. thanks for reading .

(spellings not grate but i did my best sorry)

First time in this sub-forum and there is religion bashing right off the bat, wow.

Nice story by the way.

I read the original post, and the replys before me....

Personally, I think you should end the Wicca....
why?
If the Christian God is real, he is the only god and spirit to be worshipped.
If you go on youtube, you can look up tons of videos where people say they were
into Wicca, (which from what I understand, is essentially Satan worship).....
and these people who used to be into it.....many of them are now against it.....
so that is why I suggest to you to stay away from it....

for me.....

The Christian God is almost impossible to believe in.......and even more impossible to worship....
based on all the violent he does......and the fact that he initiated this whole universe in the first place,
which in my mind, makes him responsible for evil......

but.....

for me, I can't live without worshipping Jesus, and the 3 in 1 God....
why?
it helps me emotionally.
without this God, my life would be pointless, meaningless, and I would end up just doing bad and bad....
so....
though I agree with anyone who will critisize my beliefs....
it's something I still have to do, for my own well-being. : )

When I was a kid, I had to go to a Baptist church and I didn't like the service because, 1 I was hungry and wanted to go eat and 2 they talked about being saved and spent too much time each Sunday going on and on about that and baptism and I just got bored to tears with that every week. My mom is a devout Baptist while my dad is Catholic and I would much rather stick with Catholicism. My dad will not step foot in a Baptist church ever.

I noticed other churches do not obsess on being saved and baptism for thirty minutes each week. It sounds petty, but this is the main reason I became so disillusioned with the Baptists. I used to get angry with God while in church because I just wanted to leave and go eat pancakes.

I will not go to a Baptist church.


I told my mom this the other day at Arby's and she got that forlorn look on her face but I can't help the way I feel about it.

And then with Bible stories, I loved listening to those and with my daydreaming and attention problems, it was great to have something I could really get into. Those Bible stories were the best and the highlight of my youth. I could listen to those endlessly. I even answered questions about them and won prizes. I won prizes in church quite often.

I've always been a Christian since I was a young child. However, I'll say have never realy been part of a specific church. (Baptist, Catholic, etc.)Though, I guess you can say I TRY to follow the teachings of the SDR. (Seveth-Day Remnant....it's complicated.)
And I honestly don't believe in the famous Hell, but rather ''The Second Death.''

I love mocking religion. It gets me through the day.

This was in my youth, the situation with the Baptists and the Catholics. Now I do not wish to be either because as a teen, I discovered Ras Tafari and have been into that ever since.
