It has been coming for a long time and particularly over the last five months. I have left the Christian icon behind me fully. I have adopted the pagan icon as I find more comfort in following it than I ever did Christianity.

This is not to say I do not still hold Jesus in the highest of esteem and I believe on his words that we are to love one another. Of all the humans who ever walked this earth his example and his willing self sacrifice has set a standard for me that I will never forget.

Peace to you all,
Casi

Hi Casi,

I'm curious, does this change mean you have adopted a new metaphysical outlook?

Your path is your own. enjoy the journey.

 

[Eudaimonist]

Welcome to your new path. May it help you find what you need.

 

[Cassiopeia]

Thanks you guys

Orontes...my life has always been metaphysical. It means I no longer am bound by shakels that held me from enjoying a path of joy and truth. One that kept me in the chains of fear.

Blessings,
Casi

A CF icon says nothing about a person's religious beliefs. So I'm curious to know, do you simply not want to be bound by the Nicene Creed belief requirement of this forum? Or do you really not believe in orthodox Christianity?

Namaste Casiopeia,


thank you for the post.

it requries a great deal of courage to subject ones religous beliefs to the critical process of analysis since, in a very real sense, you are also critiquing the time spent living with that view.

often, the very thought that we have spent time in a manner uncondusive to our spiritual welbeing is enough to prevent one from doing any critical analysis.

it is to your credit that you were able to do so.

i hope that your path brings you the joyousness which i experience in my path and fulfills your spiritual needs.

metta,

One that kept me in the chains of fear

Only one more step.

 

[HummingbirdSong]

Only one more step.

Believe it or not, not all religion is based on fear.

Casi, May you find the peace and joy you've been wanting in this life for your soul...

Just my opinion... but I believe that even though you are a pagan, you are still following Jesus' teachings much better than many who call themselves Christians.

I reject the Nicene Creed and I reject orthodox Christianity...but then you knew that arunma. You and others for months have been shoving it in my fact that I am not a "true" christian. well guess what...I have come to the point that if this is really and truely christianity and I see that it is ...NO THANK YOU!
