What is your religious background (if any)?

[TheFifty9Sound]

I was raised Roman Catholic. I went along with it until I decided it only served (in my personal experience) as a means of getting through the day unscathed. It offered no room for variety of experience, flexibility of response, expansion of consciousness or raising of the spirit.

I still consider myself a Christian, but only so far as I believe in the teachings of Christ - and even then I'm always trying to find the most pure and undistorted versions of biblical texts. I also actively pursue many other spiritual and religious traditions.

The creator and I will work things out between ourselves. I don't need a middle man to tell me what's right and wrong. If someone asked me what my religion was, and really pushed me for and answer, I'd say Love.
