Greetings from Canada
December 30, 2013 at 9:06 pm
Hello everyone. I found this site through quotes on fstdt, and decided to give it a look see.
I was raised Roman Catholic but de-converted when I was 17 to Paganism and haven't looked back since.
I was raised with liberal views, and enjoy a good debate. I respect most people's religious views, as long as those views are not used to justify atrocities committed against others or to suppress the rights of minorities.
Anyway, I hope to have lots of interesting discussions here. See you around the forums!

Hi and welcome to AF! ^_^
What kind of pagan are you?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I'm an Eclectic Pagan, or Solitary Witch if you prefer. I tend to lean toward the Celtic traditions, and also like to read up on Druid traditions and practices. I'm always trying to learn more about various world cultures and ancient Gods and Goddesses, and the roles they played in their region of the world. So, pretty much a smattering of different cultures have shaped my personal beliefs.
I know, it's kinda funny that someone who believes in multiple deities is on an Atheist forum.

Nah, not really. You're not the first, nor the last. And variety is good

Pagans are generally fine in my book.
