Re: Coming out about your religion
I have been me for a while, and I only ever tried to tell the people around me once that I was pagan. They thought I was refering to the motorcycle gang... and proceeded to presume that I was a drug dealer too... I got a bunch of crap for the wrong bunch of crap.... So I don't mention it, if it comes up in conversation, I make the conversation go away, If someone is really pushy, I mention that I was raised protestant and am very comfortable with who I am now, not a lie, but it does gloss over a few of the finer points of what I am now... My husband knows, and my mother did open many of the packages I used to order from amazon. Other than that I am me and it has absolutely no bearing on anyone else, and is pretty much none of their business. I do not hide any of my things or books in my own home, so some of my friends know to some extent, but most of them don't care, only one of them has been curious, and I found out another had similar interests because she noticed some of my books and mentioned something.
I feel like there is a saying that describes how I feel here... it is minorly vulgar so not for innocent readers.
Religion is like a penis. It is great that you have one, but it is not OK to waive it around in public, and it is certainly unnacceptable to stuff it down my throat.
