i was raised mormon (christian sect) and for 14 years i was a goodie goodie. then, i had some struggles, hated some parts of my self because i thought they were bad. then around 16 i had a mentor. he opened my eyes. the dead poet's society story essentially.
then, things with proposition eight started to happen. and i was studying all religions.
well, now im what you'd call a jack mormon. not very active. im not taking myself out of the church because there's no need.
my family was very upset when i started to go "rogue" and said i decided to not go on a mission. i still take sacrament, but i don't stay for the meeting.
i tried to be an aetheist, but im just a person who likes to believe in magic and stuff, so im not an atheist, though i have 5 atheist friends, many from different religions, and a gay friend.
as for me, i am me. not anything in particular all the time. i believe in everything, because i've seen many things, felt many things, experienced many things. but no one religion seems perfect. so i don't care for organized religion for myself.
i like empirical evidence, and gut intuition. also mercy. big fan of historical Yeshua. love ghandi.
my biggest, most trusted philosophy is Taoism, pure, non-religious specific Taoism.
i also do tarot, was chosen by a beautiful Haindel deck.
i believe the mind is powerful, and i wonder if half the things that are are because people believe.
so, that's me. i try to be open and fair, though i must say i have a bigger appetite for more liberal view points than conservative. but i also see problems with liberals, so im neither. just myself.
you probably have an interesting story.
