so was crowley a mentor, or did he focus your spiritual search, or do you know of his work?

I'm attracted to many forms, but would have to say I'm Gaian at heart. After all, the physical manifestation of the entity that sustains us all is right under our feet.

I have been raised in Christianity my whole life. I had my doubts from time to time but I believe, know, there is a God. I consider myself a spiritual person, I pray, repent, try to live a life of servitude but I don't attend church. I don't possess the ability to walk the straight and narrow as most churches would expect and I don't care to be looked upon as a hypocrite. And, I don't care too much for the word religion as I feel it boxes you in on everything one religion sells you. I think all 'religions' are open to interpretation and there will always be at least one element of it that you can't quite digest.

I was raised Catholic...quit the church years ago....I drop the kids off, hubs never goes & I rarely go. When they get to high school, I'll just write out the check for the church so they get a tuition break but won't go unless they get some decent priest there who is actually decent & friendly. For now, no thanks.

I have my own reasons for not attending as well, in addition to what I already mentioned. Nothing scarred me for life or anything but things I witnessed happening as I grew up in the church. Preachers dallying with the secretary, yada yada. I grew up in a Pentecostal church... not the long hair, long skirts type, but more in resemblance of a 'soul church' . I love the music, others' dancing never bothered me but when some talked in tongues I became a little uncomfortable. It's something that I believe that exists, I have done it myself, but I feel it is too often faked and done for show.

I pretty well separated myself from the church when I moved out at 19. Once it was no longer required I found I didn't want to go anymore. I've visited here and there, even DATED a preacher back in 05. I've dabbled in other religions such as buddhism but I can't tear myself away from the fact that I cannot believe there is more than one God and the whole reincarnation thing kinda freaked me out too lol.
