Glitched Existence

Thats the family for you lol thinking it would work but in the end push us further from it/scare us away. The one good experience I could say was when I was walking around down town with a group of friends, we saw some bible group walking around with signs and an old guy looked at me while I was holding my friend hand. He just placed his hand on my shoulder and told me God loves me no matter what and it kinda made my night. Cause it was a night I was actually dressed rather girl ish and when me and my friend are together she's always all over me (as if we were dating) and before they got near us I was kinda angry like ohgeeze. They're gonna call us faggots and just tell us we're gross and going to hell- but this guy didn't. Even the others who passed us were just as nice as him and I just was pretty happy about that. Even if it was short.
What I was thinking, crossdressing/cosplay is usually ways people find themselves attractive and more open.
Least she understood for the most part? I'd kill to have my parents understand. Least be open to it instead of either closing me out/ brushing what I say under the rug sweatdrop
Oh wow, really? XD Lately I find myself reading up on different religions, curiosity getting at me and wondering if I can ever find one to be part of/call my haven. but as of late, agnostic is fine with me.

Oh man that thing with that old man is awesome! Imagine how much a difference they'd make if everyone religious was like that. :l

And yeah! Witchcraft itself actually is not exclusively a religion, people tend to think so but it's not. I just practice witchcraft, not wicca, which is religion based witchcraft. But yea do what works well for you! At this point, I personally don't believe there is a god, and if there is I'm quite mad they let s**t go the way things go. I'm happier thinking there is nothing to be mad at and the universe just is how it is.

Yeah, if more were like the group i met and him- I'm sure religion wouldn't seem so bad and those within the LGBTA+ group wouldn't feel the need to avoid them sweatdrop least I would, but that one experience is the only one i have compared to the countless horrible ones i have which kinda out weighs it.

I was reading on wicca and its pretty intense to say the least- I mean reading how people convert and such but I guess what also caught my interest was the fact that they're poly when it comes to their gods. Like, instead of most just having one sole god, they have multiple and they pretty much choose at least one of many to be tuned in with for most of their life while also appeasing others and idk i think thats rather cool, plus lots of nature stuff is involved.
I honestly believe its better that way too, instead of thinking that maybe one sole god made so many mistakes that we have to make up for. because we're at fault for it apparently and being who we are we have to appeal to him and ask for forgiveness for what he did. makes no sense.. eue' I'll continue to question and enjoy what life offers instead of doing that.

My little back story on religion:
I grew up with both of my parents being Pagan. My mom, when I was about 7 or so, decided to go take me around to all of the different churches we could find. We'd sit through the services and when we couldn't find any other new churches to go to she asked, "So, what do you think?"
I told her that they were all the same, the Catholics were the closest to us though. My mom just laughed and pet my head.
Later, when I went on to live with my father, I was going to a christian church on a regular basis and even going to a christian private school for a short time. I can't get away from it.

My personal two cents on Religion:
The vast majority of religions all have the same message when you can get passed the bullshit and it's the 'golden rule' that most of us grew up hearing. Unfortunately bigots decided to cherry-pick and read only what they want or what their Priest, Rabi, or other religious head tell them to.
In the infamous Christian Bible (NKJ), when Jesus came to fulfill the law, or also known as the Mosaic Law, he left them with one law. Love your Neighbor as you would love yourself. Alot of religions that are supposed to be paying attention to only the new testament seem to love forgetting this. Most religions say this.

My religious views now:
Since you rarely find two pagans that believe the EXACT same thing, I do still consider myself pagan. By how most people define pagan it is simply a religion that has not or can not be defined or named by an existing religion.
I'm polytheistic and follow closely to the greek and roman gods. I also follow a select few of the Egyptian gods as well as the Pagan God and Goddess.
I choose to stay close to this religion because the creed is simple and it says nothing about sexuality or gender identity.

My immediate family haven't had issues with me being Bisexual, even when I use to be Catholic. I went to Vacation Bible School one time but that was it. It's all a blur now. I remembering asking a question about going to heaven and I had a lady talk with me but I remember nothing of it now. While I was Catholic all through most of my teenage years, it wasn't until my early twenties that I started reexamining my beliefs.

I started to feel like if I didn't pray to God every night, I'd be punished (i know, I don't know what I was thinking. This kind of thing was never instilled in me by anyone.). So I thought, you know what? I'm tired of feeling bad and guilty. This isn't working for me anymore.

I practiced Wicca for a while but now it doesn't feel right for me. I'm looking into Pantheism right now while still practicing witchcraft.

I haven't told anyone except one friend and my sister, that I'm agender. I don't know how my other family members would react. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be bad but I dunno...I wanna tell my other friends on Facebook but I don't want my parents catching wind of it and then asking me questions.

Not right now. I probably won't say anything till I move out in the future.

I'm thinking of waiting until a year has passed before telling my other friends just so I can be ready and that they know (A year will pass December 26th of this year).
