So the Catholicism thing is no longer working for me... I think the biggest problem I had with the Catholic Church is that, as a whole, Catholics are awfully judgmental.
I was a pure agnostic for a while. Then... around The Raven Seance, I guess, I began to become interested in Wicca/Paganism and such... Magic's always fascinated me, as has nature, and MAN do I love candles and incense.
I have an altar. I have dried herbs and candles and books and such. I don't do MUCH, and what I do do I don't often do by the book.
But that's me. I think everyone needs to find their own way, their own religion, or not at all. I don't think religion should be crammed down anyone's throat (nine years of religion class, har), because that's not only counterproductive, it's... it's... stupid? I mean, religion should be open and welcoming (know that Catholic means 'welcoming to the whole world?' I do.), not restricting.
....okay, bravo if you can make any sense of that post.
