I was born into the United Methodist denomination of Christianity. My mother was a pastor's kid and my father went to seminary to 'become a vessel of the lord' Anyway he did so by having sex with me when I was about 8 years old. (Vessel of the lord) anyway I repressed all this so it really had nothing to do with my deconversion.

I reamined christian after my parents split up(yet another christian exaple) but I felt like something was missing from my life. The only reason I went to chirch anymore was the music. Even now I love music from the church....though I do not sing it becuase I don't believe in promoting something you don't support.

I was in high school and a friend of mine was Wiccan. I asked her about it and she told be about some books to read. I read them within a week and was hooked. Not on Wicca but on Paganism in General. I do not worship any deity now, rather I follow the laws of energy and nature. I feel more at peace in a single day then I did my whole childhood.
