Spiritual leanings
Wow, you guys are taxing my brain today. LOL. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vichan asked for a post on spiritual leanings (I'm assuming my own)
I have to say that at the moment I'm staring into a big well of nothingness but it hasn't always been like that. When I was in my mid-teens I went through a hippy/spiritualist phase where I was really into crystal healing, meditation and tarot cards. When I got to university I got involved in the CU (Christian Union) without really intending to but it became a huge part of my life while I was there, to the point where I led a bible study group in my first year.
In retrospect I think I was confusing an interest in Christianity (my degree is in Theology) with an actual belief in it. I drifted away after my third year when I found that there were a lot of things (mostly the church's attitude to homosexuality) that I had issues with.
These days I don't really have any sort of religious or spiritual beliefs, which I guess is kind of sad, but it's just not something I think about.

I don't think that's sad at all. I place my faith in people, and the general awesomeness of nature and science, and I'd like to think I'm a pretty happy person. : D
