You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god.

Why don't you cast a spell so grand that you will reveal your deity for the world to see!!! Why can't you conjure up this being?


LOL

I am looking to do more research on Wicca, but all my recent resources have been nothing but the fiction, what society believes bullcrap. Can anyone give me useful resources? I am Wiccan myself, fairly new to the game, and I would like to learn from books/internet sites, whatever is out there, as well as use what I was born with.

I currently work as a teaching assistant in the music department at a school. However, due to budget cuts, I have to go back to being part-time This is not a problem as I can find other hours if necessary else where.
The problem is, I do a lot of work and don't get paid nearly as well as some of the others. The children at school all respect me and I have started several musical groups such as choir and rock band. If I leave, I know full well these will not be supported by anyone else and the children will lose out. However, if I stay, I will get more work just put on me and paid the same.
If I do stay, I can get the groups fully going and then pass then on properly to one of the children to run. Yet if I do this, I will get more annoyed with the structure of the school as people in higher rank than me often make no secret of the fact that they don't value me or the work I do.

It seems as though 2005 was one of the hardest years of my life; I lost some folks in my life that left me depressed; because of that, I withdrew from school, and now I couldn't get back in there unless I paid; and didnt work for most of that year; I also encountered Katrina, and I am sure there are some of you who had their own unique experiences; I want to hear from you.

Christians think they well have orgys when they get to heaven
Muslims think it's ok to kill people who God doesn't like
Christians think its ok to bomb iraq and shout god bless America

Who wrote the bible? Not the words inside, but the person or persons who took pen to paper. Or is it believed it was sent down from heaven and some guy stumbled upon it?

Aslo would it be possible that whoever it is put his or her own thoughts/feelings/opinions into it.

Dont give me a link to the question asked once before, mine is slightly different, I wont look at or nor will you recive the best answer.

To tell you the truth this is how i feel: If you dont like racial mixing here & support segregation, then you need to go back to your own country wherever that is or a country where there the majority of your race is, & stay there. We get probly the most immigrants on a yearly basis so obviously no one is listening. But thats just me. Please help me out. I want to hear your thoughts.

Of course I understand that wearing a necktie is more official/fashionable/impressive and all that. But where does this social norm come from historically? What was the original function of the necktie? And why do only men wear neckties?

I try to enjoy life by not allowing certain situations to bring me down; such as the N. Korea, Iraq, and other political issues. I've lost many family members over the last few years and I've been trudgin' along just fine - until, I run into someone who says, "You joke around too much! You need to be more serious!". I'm a big guy! When I was younger I would have ripped the guys spinal cord out of his back, like in the first 'Preditor' movie; or slapped the taste of of his mouth, because I feel that he's disrespecting my aura. Now that I'm older I know better. I'd love to just lash out with my verbal 'Gatling Gun' - but, I don't. I'm attempting to change, into what I believe is a better person. Has anyone else ever felt like this? What do you think?

People give rude, obnoxious, and non-applicable answers to questions. For example, why do people answer a question about legal recourse for harassment, and not give any information about that issue? Why don't people ask for more details in a question instead of assuming things?

The Bible degrades the Prophets of God by vilification:



For a Muslim, many of the claims to be found in the Bible with regard to the prophets of God, and even God himself, are monstrous and preposterous. One is hard pressed to find a single prophet or messenger who was not a drunkard, an idolater, an adulterer, guilty of incest, a liar, and so forth. The Bible practically overflows with such stories from almost every Tom, Dick, and Harry. The messengers of God are even made to be guilty of multiple cases of adultery and worse. Abraham (pbuh) is alleged to be a liar and worse (Genesis 12:13). Noah (pbuh) a drunkard (Genesis 9:21). Lot (pbuh) a drunkard and guilty of incest (Genesis 19:30-38). Solomon (pbuh) a worshipper of idols in his old age (1 Kings 4-9), King David (pbuh) commits adultery with Uriah's wife and then murdered her husband (2 Samuel 11:3-4,15-18), David's son Ammon is guilty of incest and the rape of his half sister (2 Samuel 13:14). Aaron (pbuh) fashions an idol (the golden calf) for the Jews to worship (Exodus 32:1-4), to name but a very few of the many allegations to be found in the current Bible. (Misha’al Ibn Abdullah Al-Kadhi, What Did Jesus Really Say? [online Source]



Strangely, Christians defend the false portrayal of God and His prophets, yet have the audacity to charge the Prophet Muhammad with falsehood!

A couple of questions for you peeps:

1. Why is it that most of you feel that people should be spiritually stagnant? And when Christians try to spread good word, why do you feel like you are being "forced" into believing somthing you don't want to? Why do you use lexicon "forced" anyway? Are pagans a bunch of spiritual wimps?

2. Why do you use the "it's not very Christian-like" argument? We are all humans and are prone to failure. Are you really that short-sighted?? For that matter why don't you try to adhere to the 10 commandments? What's so bad about them?

3. Why do you distort biblical verses that you don't even know how to properly interpret to begin with??

Only answer the questions that apply to you, that is, if you believe in your answers. I would surely hope you can believe in something minimal as that! Consult your Ouija board or whatever. I am not trying to be converted and I am not trying to convert.
