my father is catholic and my mum is church of England so we three kids we're not Christened..which was a big deal for others when l was growing up . l was actually stopped from being my best friend's first borns godmother because l hadn't been christened. All of us were free to chose whatever religion we wished...my sister headed towards catholocism for a few years , while my brother and l headed towards pagan...where l stayed .
l found for me personally , that it just felt "right"...l found l identified with a lot of the ideologies and practices . l have some inate abilities that don't "fit" into any organised religion...in fact a couple of hundred years ago they would have had me burnt at the stake ( as apparently l was in a past life )...l have had too many uncanny experiences in life to not be a believer.....tho l prefer to talk to the universe and it's energies for guidance...l guess you could call that talking to the Gods..
interestingly , my bloke is a lapsed catholic who is quite at home with my belief system....he's studied many religions and philosophies and finds mine the most humane and accepting..the only issue that may raise its head is having our kids christened.....l have no problem if they are baptised catholic..as long as there is some type of pagan rite performed as well and they kids are allowed to follow their own religious path , whatever that may be
sorry about the long thread...l do tent to ramble on sometimes :-)
