I think I’m very much agnostic/UU as far as basic ideals and beliefs. I do feel there is a God, or something else beyond us, but I don’t know, and ultimately I think we’re called to spread kindness, love, and acceptance before perpetuating any specific religious dogmas.

That being said, I also feel drawn toward worship sometimes. I want to give thanks to the universe, or Creator, or computer program that allows us to be here. The problem I run into is that I quickly fall back into my Christian roots.

It’s hard to separate my Christian upbringing and what I now believe. There are stories in the Bible that I feel immensely protective of, that are extremely meaningful to me, but I don’t believe they happened historically and I don’t care what others think of them.

Is it weird to continue to worship the only way I know how? To still feel a strange pull toward the Christian way of celebrating faith, even if I wouldn’t label myself that way anymore?

I’m probably not articulating this well. Let me know if anyone else has experienced this same feeling.
