For a few months I have undergone a rather radical change in my life.I used have faith in God. The God. The one in the bible. The one with the commandments and the moral code I was supposed to live my life by.
I could never live up to the particular moral code that I was supposed to live my life by of course. Things that I was supposed to find wrong I just couldn't. I couldn't find it in my heart to believe that there is anything wrong with finding your soulmate in a person of the same sex. If its Love then how could it be wrong?
As alot of you know I live with my boyfriend. Last December we got engaged, but before that we lived together in exactly the same way. According to the bible I was sinning. I was having sex with someone whom I wasn't married to. My sex life suffered greatly. I would make excuses so I didn't have to do it, and then when I did, I would feel guilty afterwards. But I couldn't give my boyfriend up, as much as Christians whom I had asked for advice had warned against me partnering myself with a non-christian, it just didn't feel wrong to me. It felt so right.
This God who I belived in was supposed to love me. I have never felt that. I have never felt watched over I have never felt protected.
I went through an amazingly bad time trying to get to grips with all this. But I have come out of feeling amazing. I know for certain sure that the God that I have believed in for my life so far does not exist. He is a myth that has kept me in chains all my life and made me dissaprove of things that in my heart I can't believe are wrong.
I feel so liberated now. Like someone has untied me and set me free to live my own life, but Its also a little scary as if my security blanket had been taken away from me. Its taken me a while to adjust to the fact that i will die, and then I'll be dead. (I realise that sounds a bit mental). I still find myself being dissaproving of something, and then wondering why.
Bottom line, I'm still adjusting, but I'm happier than ever.

Just because you don't believe in the Christian God anymore doesn't mean that death = oblivion. Spirituality is still important with or without a limited vision of God.
I've always seen God as a stepping stone, you've got to stand on It in order to reach higher and deeper.
Interesting post by the way.
