A Pagan Convert's Tale
I gave up believing in God when I was 9 years old. If God would let a devoted, loving child of his go through ** at the hands of her peers and her abusive teachers for 5 long, hard years, and never changed anything despite the prayers and pleadings of those around her, and herself, he must be a sick, disgusting, cruel God, and I would have no part of his religion. At age 14, I befriended a Wiccan and trained under him for a year and a day, as per tradition, to adopt Wicca as my religion. I have never been happier than I am as a pagan. I wouldn't change my belief for the world. While my life hasn't gotten easier, I am more at peace, knowing that the God and Goddess of my tradition are lending their strength to me in a way that I can see and feel, in nature and the spiritual world around me. I never felt that peace with Christianity. EVER.
Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world"
Romans 8:18 "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
awesomeness its good to see more pagans around
Blessed Be. I have been Pagan for 9 years, and I have never been happier, or more secure on my faith.
Yay!!!
