Interesting question. I'm just now starting to explore helping create a chapter of Wicca (for Earth spirituality) in connection with our UU Church. Very transformational sermon, today, from a visiting Rev. I'm starting to be open to softening my negative reaction to all things religious. It won't go away and I can't imagine spending the rest of my life being mad about it so my mind is looking for a way to make words and imagery something I can live with. Wicca might do that. My point is that I'm unsure I'd be doing that if it weren't for what I read on this site.

Ditto with clarity and friendships. I'll add perspective, affirmation, and community.

I like to read & learn about other points of view.

As my stated goal for my presence is interaction and giggles, I would say this site has provided both.

Life differences? Meh, it's the internets - my life is beyond the 1's and 0's...
