Part 1: Introduction
by Runawaybride
I didn’t start my marriage out to be a Christian, in fact, I was a practicing solitary Wiccan at the time, being in rebellion from my Presbyterian Country Club Church upbringing.
However, I had and still have a voracious appetite for reading about different faiths, philosophies and beliefs. At the same time, the internet was just beginning to get off the ground, which, for a person who researches for fun, was the best toy I could have gotten for Christmas. I got my first PC in 1992, and signed up for Delphi.
It was on their religion board that I first encountered a Patriarchalist, who asked if he could correspond with my husband via regular mail. He did so, and sent him some very poorly but strongly worded letters, with copied and pasted printouts of other people’s writings to support what he felt were truths. My husband, being a very lapsed but well trained Catholic, said the man was well intentioned but somewhat ill informed.
