Hello chaps
June 4, 2014 at 6:31 pm (This post was last modified: June 4, 2014 at 6:32 pm by Onion.)
I'm female, 32 and live in the UK.
I went to a Christian boarding school and got sucked in to the sunshine and rainbows end of the Church of England. I managed to remain sort of christian for another ten years without really thinking about it, until it became obvious that I needed to make an assessment of the whole thing. I read the Bible and examined the nastier bits of doctrine that I'd tried not to dwell on. I've always had a strong moral sense which had nothing to do with my religion, and I found Christianity didn't meet my own standards.
It all fell apart after about a month, and I wasn't even slightly sorry about it. I kidded myself into the church, but I thought my way out of it.

That's how most of them manage to stay with it. Congratulations on your escape.

My cats are called Beans and Sausage... although you don't get much meat on them and apparently the taste is awful.

Oi, Onion. Welcome to the Land Of Whatever This Is.

By the by, 'Beans' and 'Sausage' are mad cool names for cats.
