Hello

I never know what to say in these things, but it's only polite to introduce myself.

I love discussing and debating religion. Theology is my great passion. My personal spiritual journey has been an interesting one, (at least to me ) and at this point I could found an entirely new religion if I cared to. I'll probably post an explanatory thread on my beliefs eventually.

I noticed that keeping posts short is a rule. I'd like to explain my beliefs, but I'm afraid I can't do that in a paragraph or two. Is this a firm rule?

People have a tendency to not read long posts. If you can keep it to two paragraphs you will have more readers.

Hi Storm2008 and welcome to the forum.

If you like to explain yourself, you can sign up for the member hot seat too. Right now, we have a short waiting list, but there you can explain your beliefs and answer other questions too. It is a great way for new members to introduce yourself in more detail.

If I were interested in gaining converts, I might care about that.

Well, I was raised nominally Christian, but heavily influenced by my deist father. At the age of 10 or 11 (I'm not sure), I suffered abuse, which caused me to lose my faith completely. Then I had a very intense theophany, and non-belief was no longer an option, so I was a maltheist for a short time. I then discovered Wicca by way of ecofeminist Goddess worship, and that fit me comfortably for most of my adolescence. However, my theology continued to evolve, and I no longer feel that I can honestly call myself a neopagan, broad as that category is.

The nutshell version of my current beliefs is what has been described as a "living Godiverse" - that "God" is a sapient organism whose physical body is the cosmos.

I've also found community in UUism, and do my best to live by the 7 Principles.
