Good morning!
I have not posted much at all, but I read nearly everyday and I respect the opinions of many of the posters on this board.
With that in mind, this is no so much as a debate as it is question (or series of questions) that have been weighing heavily on my mind.
I'll elaborate if asked, but I was a Christian for 10 years, then after a long and difficult time examining my faith, decided there were no gods and lived happily as an atheist for another 10 years.
Recently, as in the last 3 months, I have felt a strong pull toward paganism. I was not looking for a faith nor was I curious about in the supernatural again; I just 'felt' that paganism described me.
Now that the novelty has apparently worn off, I am forced to question what I have learned; is it real?
I do not want to debate which faith is the True Real Honest to Goodness faith, because I don't thing anyone could know that.
What I'd like to discuss is why do some (most?) people feel drawn toward spritual things. I cannot provide any evidence that supports my belief that I am pagan, I can only feel that I am.
How can I tell if I am making this up as I go?
How can I KNOW what to believe?
