I felt liberated when I left religion behind me and little else. Any loneliness I felt was in the fact that a lot of extended family and community ostracized me out of fear their children mine catch what I had> I was 10 at the time and I distinctly remember aunt, parents of friends and adult neighbours preaching, lecturing, chastising me and trying to shame me back into belief. I was fortunate though because my parents supported me in my decision and had little problem in tell them to shut the hell up.

No, I didn't.

Being a spiritualist has given me the opportunity to stay open minded about everything and not judge anyone or anything only seek out more truth spiritually/ supernaturally that's all. I get along with everyone from all Faith's and beliefs and I understand that everyone out there has their own understanding of things. This is why it's easier for me to learn from others and not argue as much with some people at times.
