i am leaving (have left?) the christian faith.
i'm so tired of feeling guilty all the the time.
Welcome! Don't worry, that's all artificial guilt. You know, like when a less fortunate child doesn't get what they wanted for Christmas and thinks it's because they let down Santa? You are in a safe place now! Now you'll see the whole view of the forest you were in, and no longer be confined to those damned old trees!

Those who's names appear purple are donators to the forum up keep. Which reminds me, Zen and I are due for another contribution.

Why purple? Long story involving Alice.

How did you go Over? Sort out your profile?

The anger will pass, but now you have to do the Wiccan equivalent of regaining your pride, belief and centre of yourself. We have all been there.

RE: i'm new here
You don't need to go any further than here. I apologize for the obtuse nature of my welcome. I didn't pick up on the distraught nature of your introduction, but take comfort in knowing that we are a tight knit group of people that will gladly share our similar experiences with you, and we do so purely out of compassion and empathy. You are not alone, and if you ever want to just vent, that's okay too. Take some time to look around. You'll likely see some samples of similar experiences woven in to various topics and threads. You are in a safe place, and there will be no judgement here. Kick your shoes off and fire away.
