"being professional Christian ministers to being followers of a Luciferian, Neo-Pagan path" This is hilarious! I love reality especially when it sounds made up. Did you really switch? I guess for me, I switched from being atheist to worshipping the sun.......Native American philosophy makes so much freaking sense to me....

What a great personal tidbit about you!
I consider myself 'faithful' but if people ask me what religion I tell them "a little bit of all of them." My Aspie brain doesn't really understand worship, but I feel connected. I speak to the moon and seek out the stars. I cried when a neighbor cut down their BEAUTIFUL healthy oak tree because they didn't want the leaves to fall in their pool. I feel energized when I play in the dirt. I also 'walk the talk' because karma is my good friend and I'm trying to keep it that way. ;)

That's pretty much the way my wife was when I had my awakening. Very nature based. It's not allowed to call our cats and dogs animals, they are considered people. She talks to the Elements, and I swear they answer her. :-)

I couldn't agree more! When we were doing demo and construction, half of my house was open. I live in Florida and we've got all kinds of critters. I basically gave them all a talk and my brother was AMAZED that we weren't overrun with anoles and snakes because I respect them when I'm in their house. :) Cockroaches and wolfspiders though... excuse the language but they're assholes so they get smooshed.

Going from Atheist to being a Native American Sun worshiper...I can see that! We all have growth areas that take us into unexpected places. As for me, yes I am serious. After 30 years of alcoholism, once I got into recovery i found I had to make some major changes. Fundamentalist Christianity no longer worked for me, so I choose the path of Luciferianism which stresses Enlightenment, personal growth, and self improvement by taking responsibility for correcting your past misdeeds. Most assume Luciferianism deals with devil worship. It does not. Lucifer is the Arch-type of the Light Bearer...the symbol of Enlightenment. Even so...when former church members bump into me....it can be rather awkward. :-)
