    Am I looking for Religion or Spirituality?

    Hello RF buddies, I'm in a weird spiritual time right now and could use some input. I was raised Southern Baptist (in a sort of extreme and isolated way), but years of religious and emotional abuse, in addition to me going to a secular college and realizing that some of my beliefs were hurtful...

    Check what you are

    I'm not exactly sure what I am. Some kind of of spiritual universalist that believes in loving people and being fully alive, however one personally defines that. In current practice I'm a mix of too-scared-to-do-religion-wrong and Druid I think. :P

    Belief and Knowledge

    @9-10ths_Penguin I agree that knowledge is a subset a belief. The ways we "know" things come from experience/observation, tradition, or reason, but I think modern humanity stripped down the tradition category a lot to distinguish "knowledge" from belief or faith.

    Why so much attention on male-to-female trans people?

    In reply to the OP, I think the visibility issue could also have to do with the concept of fragile masculinity, which basically theorizes that masculinity in contemporary western society has to be continuously fought for, proven, and guarded, and thus, that it can be easily broken by any...

    Struggling/Anger/Confusion

    Hi Patience, I'm new here but resonate with so much of what you've said, including the anger and having been trained to a T in all the arguments/Scriptures of your religious base. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

    Looking for Home and Identity

    Howdy y'all, I've only been surfing this site for 30 minutes and I'm already hooked. I'm littlefire and I'm a 21 year old formerly homeschooled German-Irish-Dutch-American bigender lesbian recovering-fundamentalist-evangelical-Southern-Baptist craving a new framework for my spirituality. Years...
