Re: Why does this still feel "Unnatural"?
ill give you the same advise that i gave a friend recently.it was concerning other matter but i think its still applicable.
the best way to uncomplicated things in life is to do what makes you happy.dont over think it,dont try to rationalize it.just follow your heart and be you.apply this to every aspect of your life and i promise things will work itself out.
at the end of the day this is your life to live,no one elses.you dont want to be at the end of it regretting...

Re: Why does this still feel "Unnatural"?
No one should underestimate the damage done by Christianity. While in the early centuries it was actually very tolerant and inclusive, the move to persecute the Cathars in France, which resulted in tens of thousands of brutal killings, led to the establishment of the Inquisition, which carried this particular role on. Protestant versions were just as bad with many thousands burned as 'witches'. Some of these victims were simply mad, some were unlucky enough to have upset someone influential and some were actually believers in older faiths. Perhaps even worse, during the colonial era, Anglo-Saxon protestant christianity, a grim, dour cult that banned any form of sexual activity that was not directly procreative, exported its viciously repressive ideas across the globe, where they continue to fester and cause harm.
The tolerant attitude of Islam, which is derived from Christianity, was far less general than you may think and was contained mainly to the Persian version; the Persians were converted relatively late and tolerated other religions and even (!) atheists for centuries. Unfortunately, the rise of Wahabiism, a rigidly fundamentalist, literalist version of Islam with an uncanny resemblance to American right-wing Christian fundamentalism, has made Iran (modern Persia) one of the most intolerant states in the world, where homosexuals are routinely executed.
Monotheism in general is a cultural blight that we could well do without, and if people really must persist in believing these groundless superstitions, they should find something a bit less blatantly evil.
Re the ancient world, I have written here before about the cult of Cybele, a Graeco-Roman fertility goddess. Cybele is actually a version of the Sumerian goddess Inana, later Ishtar, Astarte and many others. Inana was the goddess of fertility and not only did her temples contain natal female prostitutes but men who, in a passion of religious fervour, would cut off their own genitals and spend the rest of their lives (if they survived) as women. This practice is still carried on by India's Hijra, and it is likely that this culture is a derivative of Inana's worship.
Inana became Isis in Egypt, where she adopted a maternal role as the mother of the god Horus. That is interesting because Isis is the direct model for the Christian Mary and Horus one of the models for Jesus.
What complicated webs we weave, no?
