I think the problem with posting anonymously is that it suggests you have something to hide. Granted, we all possess an anonymity of sorts with our individual login names but having one still allows other users to reference our personality and, in effect, know who is posting. Posting openly rather than anonymously exhibits sincerity and authenticity, whereas posting anonymously will always come across as untrustworthy and dishonest. I hope this helps.

On a lighter, more pleasant note, thank you for expressing interests in my own beliefs, Tracy. They're not always well received by the general community. You might find a lot of value from researching pagan beliefs similar to mine such as Celtic Reconstructionism, Wicca, et al. I admit I was raised into my religion so I can't say with honesty that I chose my faith, but I feel it is the right path for me and can imagine practicing no other belief system than that of my pagan roots.
