Angst

So, has anyone out there reading this ever just walked away from their religion? Just kicked their spirituality off the turnip truck?

I was looking around my room and just about everything hanging off my walls is spiritual. I've got a bookcase full of Tarot-related and Pagan and Buddhist books. Most of the art in my 'My Pictures' folder on my computer are from Pagan sites or depict Paganism in some form or another. It takes up a lot of space in my brain. I mean, if I'm not contemplating my navel, what else might I be thinking about?

But honestly, for all the physical & mental space dedicated to my spirituality, I spend little or no time on it. I'm still the same person I was when I left the Temple of the Inner Circle... I don't feel like I've grown or evolved one iota. I do not serve any Gods nor do I dedicate my life to Them... would They even miss me if I forgot about Them? Do They even care anymore?

heh. While I find what people believe to be very interesting (I read, talk, and think a lot about the subject), I personally have no belief in the supernatural. I gave superstition the boot in high school and have never regretted it.

Atheism never worked for me. I'm too paranoid - I know the Universe is out to get me and I have to know why...

*chuckle* I do sometimes believe in Murphy's Hammer...

Murphy is a mighty and fearsome entity... I worry more about his anvils dropping from the sky than his hammer :D

*chuckle* mighty and fearsome entity, indeed! I worry about getting caught between his anvil and hammer. LOL
