Hello, everyone. Long time user, but inactive until this evening. I decided to post here after some inner dialogue.
I "discovered" Wicca when I was 11 or 12, and was fascinated by a religion that was so unlike thw Christian religion I was raised in. So peaceful, life and sex are sacred, and ooh, magic! The woo was strong, and I just wanted to feel special.
Que 2006, 2007, and I read Richard Dawkins book The God Delusion. It was like I was pulling down a giant curtain that was blinding me from what was real, and that I didn't need to live in fear of hell, or doubt.
Now, these days, I've gone back to Wicca (sans pagan gods) for the comfort of it, and hoping that it would make me special in some way. I knew it was bullshit, and I know it's a waste of my time and money.
Has anyone had issues with this, or maybe could shed some light? I would talk with my therapist, but she's Christian.
TL;DR: I've gone back and forth with being Wiccan for comfort, and atheist because I want to be honest and find the truth. What do I do?
