I have browsed this forum on occasions, but just now decided to join.

I was raised in a christian family, in which the extremity of our actual practice of the religion constantly fluctuated. If that makes sense. Basically, throughout the years, my family has had on-off dedication to church and religious morals/practices and whatnot. I was always a complicated, different child though. God, christianity, and the bible were huge burdens on my back. I felt like I always had to live up to the standards of something that I wasn't sure existed, or I would go to hell.

My actual conversion from christian to agnostic is a very long story, so lets just say it involved a lot of research, and finding out that I was a lesbian.

My change in beliefs has lifted an elephantine burden off of my back.

I didn't mean to make my introduction as long as this, but hell, I'm a writer, I make everything I write complicated.
