On being Babylon

I didn't ask to be Babylon of the Apocalypse. When I was a small child, I asked God to make me a saint or an angel.

I felt lead to Wicca because of the hypocrisy in Christianity, and the way that Christianity causes a separation between you and God, while Wicca is a pursuit of unity with the Divine and that your beliefs can change according to what you learn. I appreciate that the Divine is viewed as both female and male in Wicca, whereas Christianity has a blatantly sexist streak. I don't believe the Bible to be the true word of God because it was written by men with ulterior motives, and edited by the Romans, who wished to control the population more than they wanted people to achieve divine union. I think Jesus had a lot of great things to say, and most people overlook that he told the pharisees that the Old Testament was obsolete.

When you look at the mystical traditions within the world's religions, you find a universal Truth not weighed down by dogma, and I believe this is where we should turn to find the Divine, and you can experience the Divine love written about in the scriptures, not just preach about it. The Kingdom of Heaven is upon you, and if you can't find it here on Earth, you will not find it in death.

But this is not the message most Christians will want to hear, and I'm afraid I will be hated, which is so unchristian, or anti-Christ. They have been primed with prejudice against the whore of Babylon. And here I come, with a cybernetic implant and a pagan religion, fulfilling prophecies no one thought possible. I hope I can do some good for humanity. I wish I understood God/dess's plans better.
