Question .. Amanda

[Guest guest]

Amanda,

 

To answer your question: I used to be an atheist because I didn't

believe in organized religion, and became skeptical about the

existence of a higher power (this was more about being upset at not

finding what I wanted, I guess). Now I believe in what I experience,

though I don't really have it all figured out. In any case, I am still

wary of organized religions.
