more and more threads i see have religious overtones to them, in additon id say 50% or more peoples avatars are angels, demons or riffs on 666 etc.
as well as people talking alot about ascended "masters" light vs dark etc or talk of serpents and the like.
personally i was raised with no particular spiritual or religious ideas, religion has always seemed very very foreign and weird to me , worshipping and rituals dont really work for me ( i dont even like going to big concerts exactly because of the "worshippy" overtones)
so when im reading posts and theres so much "be a part of the light my child" and whatnot i get that same feeling of distance that i would get attending a church. i find myself in a strange situation of being with seemingly very religious (particularly christian) people (again im not saying thats bad, just very weird for me)
so my question is, how many of you out there are infact christians either now or previously were. and how many people of a buddhist, jewish, or muslim backround are here at avalon?

Oh totally agree CLARKKENT as soon as i see this i suddenly get all defensive, and don't feel comfortable.
I did go to sunday school when i was a little girl but in the 50's most kids did.
The bible never gelled with me either mever made sense to me it contridicted itself so much.
