[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IME - and I say this as an apparently quixotic young person (30) of faith - my peers as children either (a) experienced religion as an oppressive institution that did nothing for their spiritual growth or (b) did not have exposure to religion, and therefore generally do not have a sense of longing for that.

Despite growing up in an atheistic, non-religious household, I always felt called to religion and matters of the spirit. In middle school, I devoured religious (Jewish, Hindu, Christian) texts. I dabbled in Wicca. I joined a UU church at fourteen. I became "born again" at sixteen.

My journey continues, and I accept that I'll never fit into anyone else's religious ideal. I'm a social liberal with an abiding faith in God and love for Jesus. I'm a bisexual reformed slut who now prays with my children and husband at night. I'm a Christian and a yogi. And I'm okay with that. [/quote]

Most social liberals wouldn't refer to any woman as a "slut," including themselves.[/quote]

Thanks for the insight. I guess this is just another item reflecting my unpredictability. [/quote]
