Hi, I'm "Whispers". I guess I'll start by letting you in on a little part of my life & why I do not believe in the "traditional god" or a god at all. When I was young, around 3 yrs old, my birth mother left my birth father & moved to Texas to marry another. This "other" decided he like little girls. My birth mother seemed or so said, she was clueless. After 2-3 yrs of being "liked" by my sick step-monster, we (my sister, brother & I) were taken out of the house. Our grandparents were in the process of adopting us. Then our brother was kidnapped by the step-monster. Finally, the adoption process is over. We live with our grandpanrets, our legal gaurdians, our now parents. Let me put it this way, things were better for the most part, that is if you think watching your grandmother get beat every day is better. After a few years of the beatings grandmother-mom moved us away. The point of my little depressing story? The God I was brought up to believe in was never there when I needed him or her. When something finally came out of my prayers it was always 3,4 or more years later. This God, I decided wasn't worthy of my time since I didn't seem to be worthy of his/hers. His/her exsistence became to be more like the Easter bunny's exsistance to me - fake. Years later after moving away from my mother & step-father (whom I love dearly) I was working at a gas station in Southlake, Tx - that's where I met Azrael & Spiritwind, two great, friendly men. They came in the store & told me that they were opening a shop & would like it if I would come by & check it out to see if kids my age (I was 19) would buy any of the things they were selling. So I agreed. I met them at the store & there I was introduced to Azrael's pregnant wife Treehugger. They showed me around & showed me all the neat stuff they carried. I told them I would buy what they were selling & I am sure others would also. The introduced me to a bunch of great friendly people. They told me about Wicca, etc. They interested me. I started hanging out at the shop & their house a lot. I became more interested in their religion, though I never proclaim myself Wiccan, etc. because I don't practice it, I dabble. To this day I still have no religion (I'm 27). I proclaim myself Agnostic. I'm still floating trying to find what's right for me to believe. So far the only thing I have found I needed to believe in is myself. If I believe in myself enough I don't need a religion, though I still dabble in The Craft. :)
