I have never had serious thoughts about religion till now.
I am a little confused if I should ever take it seriously - i like the serenity religious institutions provide - the artwork - the quiet comfort - but dislike the brainwashing and scams.
Would love to know how the community got started with this.
Oh dang, good on you chaplaining for pagan prisoners. And yeah the connection to earth through paganism has had a huge positive effect on me. I've also found that celebrating the solstices, equinoxes, and midway points has done wonders for me feeling in tune with life itself.
I had the door for Christianity, but I have no desire to leave my paganism even if I wish it was easier to find community that I felt like I fit in properly with with it.
