SFF Keyboard Evangelists "Unborn Again" or Otherwise?! Most of my life, I have belonged to some type of Spiritual Community. My family life and school life as a was very dysfunctional and attending and being active in a church brought a sense of stability and hope. Years later, I found myself as a mother of two boys and my marriage went south. The neighborhood that I could afford to live was not all that great. I took the boys to the local church down the street. It was a sight better than what some of the neighborhood were experiencing with parents using drugs in the household and eventually the being tossed into the Foster Care System. One young man was bragging about going to Juvenile Hall and eventually graduated to Big Boy Penitentiaries. I stayed active in the Church, taught Sunday School, and help organize the Food Pantries. My always ate. I don't always see eye to eye with the all doctrines of some churches but it's a whole lot better than the alternative. A few years later, I met my future second husband through Parents Without Partners and we moved out of that neighborhood. My best friend and I had a falling out. She didn't like my husband. She said that he was too old, bald, and not attractive. There was a serious betrayal and she started "rebuking me" in the name of Jesus Christ. Dang, I was the one who had to drag her drunk azzzzz out of bars and keep her out of trouble. Suddenly, I am the heretic and sinful one. Whatever. The friendship ended and ultimately resulted in an "Unborn Again" experience. I started exploring other spiritual paths. I started going to Sweat Lodges, Drumming Circles, Psychic Fairs, and joined a" Dianic Coven." Dianic Covens are usually all female and my husband wanted to play so I had to start our own coven. I became a part of the local Unitarian/Universalist Fellowship because they allow me to keep my crystals. So do the Quakers. I worked with the local churches to run a homeless shelter for the homeless in the winter. We even help a few of the homeless get off the street and back on their feet. Later my husband and I relocated to West Virginia. Welcome to the Bible Belt. A Church on every corner. There are four churches down the road from my abode. Baptist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Catholic. I have been told that the Catholic Church is not mainstream. I've attended the Episcopal Church which is run by a lesbian couple. I was active with the Unitarian/Universalist Fellowship (Gay Minister) and eventually the Quakers. Our Clerk is a bible banging Christian. A retired history professor who is very interesting to listen to. They let me keep my crystals and don't object when I attend GOP events with my pink hair. I was attracted to the Quakers because of the activism. The local faith community runs food pantries, clothing and furniture banks. They are frequently helping out flood victims. Floods happen a lot in West Virginia. There is a focus on similarities versus differences with the common goal of making the community a better place. Most of the local Church People are nothing like the SFF Keyboard Evangelists like ManyProfiles ,Ad Infinium or even my ex best friend . They inspire folks to become "Unborn Again.  Abracadabra  |

Faith in something more powerful than us is the key. That which is timeless... socially positive that contributes to the well being of mankind.

My motivation for the blogs that I write are not motivated by a desire for you and anyone else to change religion or politics. Frequently, I read a blog negative or otherwise and it prompts me to write a prospective based on my own experience. That is what blogging is all about. In this particular case....I find it hard to understand what a negative blog is? Is there really such a thing?...... that can be defined..No matter what a person says, of words they use... In my view the only negative blog is a dishonest one. Speaking about negative blogs..is in itself a negative blogs. Starwomyn....You don't write negative blogs... You never have.. any disagreement is not about your blog being negative.. It's far more about it being incomplete. And MY BELIEF... It doesn't tell the whole story is not negative either, and not meant to be negative.
