69. 84 - Non-Denominational Christian

Wed Jan 30, 2013, 11:06 PM

Jan 2013

Was raised by atheists, was slightly influenced by a fundie Lutheran grandmother as a kid, spent a lot of time at Catholic Mass even though I wasn't Catholic, and also spent 5 years as a Norse Pagan before I realized that I was more into the fun pagan parties than the religion side of things and gave it up. Now (for the last 15 years or so) I consider myself a follower of Christ and His core principles, with no specific attachment to any man-made church.

In other words, I'm a mutt, religiously speaking.

On Edit: Should also note that I am a Social Psychologist, and that life path has contributed FAR more to my worldview, philosophically speaking, than any religion I have ever been exposed to.
