Most people on here know how I feel about paternalistic religions... controlling, dominating, destructive, the cause of ecological imbalance, etc...
My husband (tyreay) and I are both ordained humanist ministers and I have adopted pagan traditions, which are in synch with my beliefs concerning the environment and the world around us, the cycles of the seasons, the scientifically proven connections on human behavior with lunar cycles, the interconnectedness of all living things, cause and effect (karma), the proven psychological benefits of meditation, which I believe is the same psychological benefit achieved by prayer, and the need for male and female for procreation.
However, I do believe that everyone has the right to beliefs that make sense to them.
