Religion

Ah, the touchy topic that, when brought up in conversation, can turn one of four ways; 1. it can make the conversation go akward and the topic is avoided completely, 2. it can turn into an argument, 3. it can become a deep conversation/learning experience or 4. it can turn into a battle of who's is better/an attempt to convert another into a different religion.

I'd have to say #3 is my favorite and usually how my conversations go, except when I am having this conversation who is clearly not open minded and prefers to argue or try to convert. I like to learn and I don't shoot down others beliefs, ever.

I thought I'd share a good explanation of my beliefs that I expressed to a friend of mine today. I think I explained myself pretty good and I wanted to post it somewhere.

I am a very open minded and free, for lack of a better word, person. I enjoy being able to believe what I want without being told that's what I'm supposed to believe. That being said, I tell people, for the sake of conversation without too much judgement, that I am an Eclectic Wiccan, but really I am just a Witch who chooses my own beliefs and believes that EVERY religion has truth to it. I work with energies, spirituality and the earth in a way that makes sense and feels right to me. Some would say it's a rebellious thing that I got into but it's really not. I guess I chose this path because I am open minded to everyone's beliefs and I enjoy learning and exploring new things.
