    Reasons for Neopaganism

    I was raised Christian, went through a discontented phase where I explored Luciferianism, became comfortable in New Age for a few years, then reconverted to Christianity for a little while, and now I'm pagan. I don't really follow any tradition. I'm eclectic I think. My Patron deity is Diana so...

    Describe what you believe

    I'm agnostic but my theism would be inclined to be polytheistic. "Maybe deities exist, maybe not"

    Theists: How do you determine that God is not a malevolent being?

    You can't. When you take this question seriously there's no way to really know. Which is why I think putting 'God' into a box of perfectly good or perfectly evil (or two separately opposed divine beings!) doesn't work out. I prefer to think that any God has both, which makes you wonder why to...

    Theology: Useful or Useless?

    To me it's mostly useless, but to others it may be useful.

    True purpose in life

    I found the purpose I gave myself. Medicine :)

    A bit Effeminate? Don't Count on Going to Heaven.

    What about the reverse? Women wear trousers these days - traditionally considered men's wear in western countries. Are we going to hell too? I feel sorry for the Scottish men who wear traditional kilts (aka, skirts).

    Can we agree that late abortions are heartless

    Because bugs terrify me and I haven't figured out a way to deal with them maturely. Lol

    Can we agree that late abortions are heartless

    Everytime I squat a fly I hate myself for being a murdering so and so. Where do you draw the line? A fetus under a certain age isn't really alive. Also, as others have stated, there may be perfectly good reasons to abort during late pregnancy. Ok in a perfect world no one would squat flies...

    Are we fundamentally good or evil?

    I started watching the series on Netflix called "The Good Place". It's about a woman who died and finds herself in 'heaven' by accident, because she was a bad person on earth. But it actually turns out this 'heaven' is false and is actually hell. Now, when I watched it, I didn't like the...

    I have finally found my home

    So many months seeking and I have finally come across my spiritual path. I devoted myself to Goddess Diana a few months ago after she visited me and since then it has been a wonderful relationship and spiritual path for me :) I never thought I'd find a place I truly belong, nothing felt right...

    Am I more kind than God?

    My answer is really the same as my last, since you are monotheistic I can't refute your beliefs without refuting monotheism as a whole, since I am not monotheistic.

    Am I more kind than God?

    Good answer, but I'm not a monotheist, so I can't really reply without countering monotheism as a whole.

    Am I more kind than God?

    I think the real question should be: Why did it take us mortal humans so much blood sweat and tears to find a cure for leprosy, whilst a supposedly omnipotent God can just heal them with the click of his fingers? Is God lazy or what?

    Question for unbelievers

    I think it's your perception of the world that determines everything else. I believe the world is beautiful as it is, perfect, magical, and wonderful. Sure bad things happen too but I don't focus on them, instead I focus on minimising such things through activism. And that makes this life 100%...

    “Why Don't You Look Into Jesus?”

    I was raised Christian and my entire extended family are Christian. It's hard not to include Jesus now and again in my own personal devotions. But apart from social convention I don't really have a connection with Jesus. So he remains a bridge between me and everyone else.

    Your Best 10 Minute Case for Your Religion

    How do your religious beliefs affect your actions?

    For me it's more the other way around. My actions affect my beliefs. I love nature, so I become a pagan. There's no conflict.

    Diversity of religion in your family?

    I am the only non christian in my entire family including extended family, on all sides (all protestant). Lol. I'm at a significant disadvantage there.

    Dating and the internet

    I met my boyfriend on a spiritual dating site. Nothing like craigslist I guess but I have had a good experience with it.
