Hey honeyscribe, I recently read your post on 'open marriage' and unknowingly started following you. Speaking as someone from a different cultural background and what may be a younger perspective, just wanted to say that I think your doing the right thing. The greatest religion you can subscribe to is yourself, and you should do what makes you happy. Whether God exists or not, you need to find peace within yourself and religious discipline is not the answer; freedom and acceptance of who you are is. When you find you peace, you can find God within yourself.
I wish you the best in life! :-)
