Re: Losing your religion

[personal profile] inkmage 2013-04-07 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I was raised loosely religiously - my mom took me to church, and I was baptized (Methodist) when I was like 5 or 6, but at some point I said I didn't want to go to church anymore (I don't remember when, so it was likely because I didn't see the point of getting up early to be bored for an hour). She didn't make me, and I haven't gone to church for probably seven years.

For a while I hung onto the idea of there being a God, until I was around 14/15 years old, when a) I realized that it didn't make a lot of sense, b) every time I built a world for my writing (sci-fi and fantasy) I both was effectively a god and created gods of my own, so it seemed a little silly to believe in a real one, and c) realized that the main reason I liked the concept was because I wanted to be owned and kept, and a Domme would be much more likely to give me positive feedback (or any feedback) than the invisible bats in the sky.

Checked out The God Delusion from the library, read it cover to cover and realized that it made a hell of a lot more sense than the religious... let's go with dogma... that my mother kept spouting, and that was the end of that.

I'm looking into and researching Satanism currently, to see if it makes sense and matches how I want to live my life, and so far the philosophy part seems sound. Technically Satanism is a religion, but I dunno if it counts as far as OP's definition of "religion" goes.
