[Serious] When you left theism, did you go Left?

[zwanzig]

I was always on the left. I simply finally realized that religion's far right mentality was not for me.

With the second skim of your post, I noticed both Mormonism and bisexual.

Have you ever seen the film Latter Days?

Also, I do mean to pry. Are you married?

Lol! No I've not seen that film. Might give it a watch.

And no, not married. Divorced for 8 years.

Many considered me to be one of the hippies back in the 70s, including me. I've always been left though never what I'd consider radical left. Let's just say...left of center. Though raised Catholic and having to attend Catholic schools from 6th grade through graduation, I didn't ever buy into it so leaving The Church really didn't change my core beliefs and values much.

The one change is that I was staunchly anti-abortion as a teen. Then I learned more about real life and relaxed that black/white view on the matter.

Abortion is something I've really relaxed on as well. When you consider it from the perspective of what can naturally be proven, and the soul no longer has any bearing in the conversation, it changes how serious that decision really is. Add onto that the different justifications that can be made, the as you said "grey" situations and circumstances, it makes abortion just another option.
