Hello all, Erika Lee here.
I am 24 , married with a 3 year old daughter.
I grew up Southern Baptist, was Pagan for about 2 years and am now a full Atheist. I don't like to use any of those labels really, because they all have a bad connotation. How many times has someone yelled "Satan Worshipper!" and was referring to a Pagan or an Atheist. Aggravates me.
Anyway, I am a future Anthropologist of Religion, as soon as I can afford to go to school. In the meantime I do my own studying so I feel I'm atleast working in some way towards my goal. Otherwise I'd go nuts.
I feel I am a very openminded person and I can speak from a few points of view. I have a good working understanding of Christianity as I was raised that way and my grandfather is a Preacher. I also have a good basic understanding of Paganism. And I would like to pretend I know a little about Taoism - it's not that easy to understand.
I believe that Religion is as the basis of all Civilization throughout History and in some cases the beginning of Civilizations as well. Isn't that cool?!
Anyway, I hope to learn a lot and share ideas with other people as well.
