Day Two: Religion

Ok, so some of you might be saying "Oh, she's pagan!" or "She's a hippy woman!" No. Let me just say that, right now. No, I am more or less Christian. While churches give me the creeps, I do follow most Christian morals and ideals. I don't like modernized Christianity, and how man has totally wickedized (is that a word?) most of what is in the Bible. I do believe there is some higher being up there, but I don't believe that this being is all loving or all hateful. If he/it made us in it/his image, wouldn't he be humanesque? So, he would make mistakes, and actually have other emotions other than "wrath" and "love". This is just how I see it, and I'm not claiming Christians are wrong, Bhuddists are wrong, etc, etc.

Now, second thing: Therianthropy isn't a religion. Many people in the community believe (and its widely accepted) that therians are a result from reincarnation. But that doesn't mean you follow a rhino god, or a bear god or whatnot. When a therian barks, it isn't a prayer to some wolfy deity. A howl is not some ritual song. No, it's just therian nature.

So, yes, there are heavy Christian therians, and there are probably Islamic and Jewish and Bhuddist ones too. So, don't you worry your pretty little head that these hippy, pagan animal people are going crazy and will end the world. Because that isn't who we are. We're people with normal jobs and schools and beliefs. Just with an animal side.

I'll start getting into more of my life starting tomorrow (or the next time I post). But I just wanted to clear out confusion for some people before I start to get into that.
So now that you know a little about me, I'm just going to jump right into my life. Try to keep up, and ask questions that are relevant.
