Q-t-pie,

Yes, you are correct, I come from a methodist background. I have a hard time letting go of that background. I love Christianity as a religion but have trouble with the church (not just methodist but all churches) and how political they are (and hypocritical--don't mean to step on any toes with that statement, this has just been a personal observation of mine). I follow the basic teachings of Christ and feel that the Bible is a great source on how to live. I consider myself 'eclectic' at this point (a far cry from where I started trying to combine the two religions), a good explanation of eclecitic would be I cut and paste various parts of various religions to form my own religion and spirituality. Being 'eclectic' allows me to combine what I like, it allows anyone to really practice what they want. The more I read and study religions, the more I find I have in common with witchcraft--why I consider myself a witch. I also have found a lot about Taoism (pronounce DOW-ism) that I can relate to. I have always been interested in witchcraft (and other religions) and have studied a great deal about it (history), but just recently began to practice it. A lot of witches study for a year or more before they actually consider themselves witches.

I'm glad you caught that! I forgot to state what exactly I believe before my little history lesson.
