Re: What's your progression?

Umm . . . I don't even know anymore . . .

*Thinks really hard*

Here it goes . . .

Mommy-is-nice-to-me -> Why-does-that-happen -> Child Christian -> Forced Christian -> Christian -> Conservative Christian -> Christian -> Deist -> Atheist -> Wiccan -> Atheist -> Pagan -> Pagan-ish -> Pagan/Atheist -> Transtheist

I know that I'm missing some stuff, but it's close enough.

Let's see: Baptist - nondenominational Christian (when Dad was a preacher) - Pentacostal (the scariest people) - nothing - Mormon - nothing- Pagan. The nothing to Pagan was not an overnight thing.

Born and raised in Christian flavoured agnosticism with Pagan undertones-----> Agnostisim-----> Atheism----> 'Toaism is kinda cool' -----> Agnostic learning about Wicca -------> Agnostic depressed, thinks she's doomed Christianity because she dosnt fit with Wicca ---------> Agnostic realising she can just be an earth lovin Pagan ---------> Pagan -----> Pagan with doubts ----> Pagan ------> Pagan with doubts ------> Unitarian? --------> Pagan----> Pagan with doubts -----> Pagan....

Mostly I wander around in a haze of awe and or confusion lol.

Re: What's your progression?

Fundamentalist Baptist; Christian (went sectless for a while); Religion Seeker/Eclectic; Babylonian Pagan Revivalist; Atheist; Atheist with pantheist lean; UU atheist with pantheist lean. Though I go to the UU because my friend from work goes, should that really count? Its a community thing.

Re: What's your progression?

I was raised catholic but I hated the hypocrisy of it, so I did some searching and found wicca. Wicca was the gateway to Pagan and now I'm leaning toward Heathen.
