Guess I am in the polar opposite. Born and raised christian, until I accepted the failings of dogma. Sexuality was always a strike against me growing up, as I was somewhat active in this regard.
I became Pagan after much research on world religions proved to me that I simply couldnt have a pure soul if I accepted one version of "God" over another. I now feel so much more peace knowing we are all correct, and sexuality is a natural and loving aspect of life. I guess I cant relate anymore to the belief that I need to feel guilt over something as beautiful and inevitable as loving another person physically, as well as emotionally.
I wish you much happiness on your path, as it is the correct one for you, or you would not be on it. My recommendation is to take the biblical version of sexuality with a grain of salt, as no god will forsake you for loving.
