Questioning my beliefs

Ever since my teens, I have been an atheist didn’t believe in any deity or anything that science couldn’t eventually understand. Although I would respect other people’s beliefs as everyone is free to believe what they like. I would occasionally challenge people’s ideas about things if they brought them up. Such as creationism, the earth only being 6,000 years old and alike, but never in a mean way in a way that would make them think about the rationale behind the idea.

Although most people who held such beliefs and adhere to their holy book to the letter generally won’t change what they thing. When I would get hypomanic I would go to fundamentalist religious websites and deliberately post things that would start an argument, as that is how my bipolar can manifest some times.

Bella was into her Wiccan belief and I had no problem with that I even read some of the books she owned on the topic. As it was not an organised religion it was up to the individual to interpret it as they liked and practised how they saw fit.

As a system of beliefs goes it was one I had more respect for than the fundamentalist elements of the Abrahamic religions. It did have a set of deity’s to make offerings to or to ask for blessings from, and it made her happy and didn’t impact on me so it never caused any issues between us.
