I am currently converting from Christianity to Hellenism, the belief of the Greek Gods. Something I love about my religion is how you can make altars for the different Gods. For example, I currently have one for Apollo and Artimes. Apollo's jar has flowers, concert tickets, his favorite number (7), a wolf toy, and others. The next altar I am going to do is for Hades, because my mom just lost a cousin on May 31st and I want to make sure he has a safe passage into the Underworld. I will answer any questions in the comments!

But your profile name is 'Mars', the Roman version of the deity Aries? I would be very interested to see some of your alters. I'm currently working on a piece about how the ancient Greek creationist story is comparable with todays modern scientific beliefs.

    I don't believe in religion. What I love about it is that it doesn't force me to try and be something I'm not.

    Im a Catholic. I lile how we are strict, and I lile hpw traditional we are. I aldo like how we can sate everything back to when Jesus was alive and how if you go to another country and go to Mass, even if its a different language you cam tell what is happening. Some things I don't like is how unprogressive we are. Only men can be priests and only women can be nuns and they just recently allowed girls to serve in mass. I also hate how homophobic we are. I do ballet and im a guy and sometimes i don't feel welcome there and at the school i go to, which is a catholic school. I feel like more ppl would be catholics if we let everyone in, not only heterosexuals.
