|  ...Yet another new one!
Hello, everyone! I'm a new fellow agnostic female here. I prefer not to disclose my name for right now, but you can all call me by my screename (I hope this doesn't bother anyone and if you are rolling your eyes I don't blame you) I'm eighteen years old, I live in the west coast. I've been confused about what exactly it is that I have believed in for a very long time, but I've been studying other religions for quite some time. I've recently begun reading The Bible to gain some understanding of things, yet at the same time I study occult and divination practaces aswell as pagan religions and such. I grew up as a Catholic gypsy in a a family of gypsy machuvaya (please, no racist comments or harassement) but my family is more superstitous than religious, so I had no real insight to any "truth" (if there is any)
I haven't been on an online forum in quite, and I randomly found this place on google and it seems pretty friendly  Good to know I'm not alone in the world with my confusion that I have felt pretty bad about for the past four years. I hope to make some new friends, and possibly gain some insight here and there. I'm a pretty friendly person, I can pretty much talk about anything...
Don't really know what else to put here other than the fact that I am hoping to make myself at home ^_^

Do you believe in god? | Well when it comes to there being a God I am not sure. It makes some sense to me, then again it doesn't... As for paranormal, I have seen ghosts and random things that have appeared for no reason. Don't know if it can be explained properly, but I do believe in ghosts and spirits.

well, even believers in the bible believe in spirits, but mostly they believe that any spirits messing with our life are bad, and from the devil. so its kinda just like, they believe what they want about it (this is where superstition meets christianity)
ps welcome

| Other than believing in the paranormal (the lack of which is probably my main obstacle in fact) this sounds very similar to my own position.
No an Atheist, but confused about 'the truth' and would like to know more.
From newbie to newbie, welcome. | |
