for most of my life, i've been eclectic in my spirituality. i like exploring the diversity of religion and using bits of this and that. i know this may be odd for you. i am real close to the native american spirituality. and i'm into the bible, as well.

somehow, i'm getting tangled with christians who believe that christianity is the only way. i try to avoid them. i have christian friends who are open to a bit of flexible spirituality. but, i'm really uncomfortable mixing my own spirituality with christianity lately. even though i believe in the one god - great spirit, i just hate when something clashes. i don't know why i feel anxiety over this. i guess, the bible is so strong. it's good that it is strong. i just don't want to leave the spirituality that gave me comfort when nothing else could. and that's the native american spirituality with insights from other religions.

of course, i am a bit of an oddball. i don't follow the wiccans. i do root for the underdog, since they were persecuted in the inquisition period where they were burned alive for their beliefs. and i do like reading poetry of the moon and nightly things. i'm naturally a nocturnal. i have a fascination for the unexplainable, like cryptozoology, paranormal, and such. i have seen what looked like a u.f.o. when i was young. of those fascinations, i believe and disbelieve, just like a scientist would. i don't follow cults, devil worship, or animal sacrifice (or any religion that says animals go to hell). oh, yeah, i'm not into scientology, either.

i believe in magic because without magic, there's no hope, dreams, or imagination. and the sole source of magic is god/great spirit.

i've been chewed out by a group of christians lately, so i've been burned. so, now, i'm confused because are we supposed to have tolerance?

if any one of you are offended by anything in this post, please accept my sincerest apology. i have no interest in attacking any religions. i am a person of peace.
