Re: What's your progression?
Umm . . . I don't even know anymore . . .
*Thinks really hard*
Here it goes . . .
Mommy-is-nice-to-me -> Why-does-that-happen -> Child Christian -> Forced Christian -> Christian -> Conservative Christian -> Christian -> Deist -> Atheist -> Wiccan -> Atheist -> Pagan -> Pagan-ish -> Pagan/Atheist -> Transtheist
I know that I'm missing some stuff, but it's close enough."Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children." - Khalil Gibran

Re: What's your progression?
Born and raised in Christian flavoured agnosticism with Pagan undertones-----> Agnostisim-----> Atheism----> 'Toaism is kinda cool' -----> Agnostic learning about Wicca -------> Agnostic depressed, thinks she's doomed Christianity because she dosnt fit with Wicca ---------> Agnostic realising she can just be an earth lovin Pagan ---------> Pagan -----> Pagan with doubts ----> Pagan ------> Pagan with doubts ------> Unitarian? --------> Pagan----> Pagan with doubts -----> Pagan....
Mostly I wander around in a haze of awe and or confusion lol.

Re: What's your progression?
Born to nonpracticing Freewill Baptists--->became obsessed with religion at a young age and flirted with countless systems--->became obsessed with Catholicism particuliarly, parents fought it tooth and nail--->finally allowed to convert, become a zealot to a frightning level--->realize in high school, "Oh, crap...this gay thing might be a problem."--->spend years torturing myself physically (think: mortification of the saints, whips and all)--->start flirting with other paths to cool down, namely Buddhism and Judaism---> College, opening my mind up, questioning everything, leaning towards other paths, meetings with Reformed Jewish Rabbi and also with Buddhists--->Focus on Goddess worship, Dianic sort of interpretation of Paganism--->Back to Christianity/Catholicism but liberalized--->Leaning towards Agnostic thanks to an amazing Atheist friend--->Atheist but quiet about it--->Militant Atheist

Re: What's your progression?
Fundamentalist Baptist; Christian (went sectless for a while); Religion Seeker/Eclectic; Babylonian Pagan Revivalist; Atheist; Atheist with pantheist lean; UU atheist with pantheist lean. Though I go to the UU because my friend from work goes, should that really count? Its a community thing.I was Hadad2008 when I joined Feb 2008.
I became Abdishtar this spring.
Then, after the Great Crash, I was reborn as Spartacandream!
