Rettu Skcollob The Goddess Aradia Rettu Skcollob Well, I was once torn between Agnosticism and Christianity, but now I've found a new and shinier religon, namely; the Fellowship of Uzoma, which I find much more fufilling. Never heard of that one before ^_^ Care to share about it? Sure, I'd care to share. Sharing is caring fool!Well, the Fellowship of Uzoma is actually quite complicated, and we have no actual written history, but our teachings are passed on by word of mouth. There are many different subdivisions of the Fellowship of Uzoma, and I am a part of the followers of Stigandr [accent on the I], which roughly translated mean followers of the Wanderer. He was basically this man who walked around many different countries, and asked any person he could find, about what they did or were, (for example, he would find out how different people felt about being butchers, farmers, protestents, atheists, English, African, Chinese, etc.) and would note everything down in his book, which was kind of like a logbook/diary/notebook. Even things he ate, he would note down. Perhaps the bread from one town was better than another. Basically, when we have finished our studies, we travel around, learning about different people and things for at least a few months, and some people have even spent years travelling. It's a bit more complicated than that, and traditionally we only teach others through word of mouth, but I decided to make an exception.
Do you know of any sites I could visit? I'm not trying to downplay youre religion at all sweatdrop It just seems more of a travelling lifetsyle than religion so I was wondering if there any reputable sites that could explain it better heh..

Well, there's not any that I know of, but feel free to look around. As I said, we mainly pass on information by word of mouth. We mainly eschew written records.
As I said, it's more complicated than that.

I've been in several ruts, and I've walked through several paths- I like to think of it as my own spiritual deveolpment.
First I was Wiccan, back in high school, then I fell out of that, and switched to Agnostic,and then to Athiest. Then soon after I left my parents house, I found Buddhism, and I sincerely thought that that was the path for me...Untill eleven months ago, when I met the man who is now my husband, a Christian, and I've slowly, gradually became a Christian who came to sincerely love God. I just hope I don't stray from this path.

If you began to feel unfulfilled in a religion what happened? I first felt unfulfilled with Catholicism because I was taught that I was evil for being a girl, poor, and the only child of a single mother. I believed only because I feared both the wrath of God and the wrath of my peers and teachers. I realized that such cruelty was not a product of God but of these people, so I left. I joined Neo-Paganism, but became unfulfilled with that after a few years. I realized that I was adhering to the communal beliefs of Neo-Paganism rather than acting on my own, I realized that religion is created BY people FOR people. I took many things I learned from Neo-Paganism and formed my own spiritual beliefs. I discovered that these beliefs are those of Liberal Quakers thus I identify as a Liberal Quaker, but I'm open to change and I don't adhere.
If you never had a religion did you seek one out? see above
If you are not in one, what happened that pulled you out of your spiritual rut? Really, forming my own spiritual beliefs stopped my frustration. It was merely coincidence that my beliefs are the same as those of Liberal Quakers, something I didn't discover until about a year after leaving the Neo-Pagan community
