I held on to this ring for a long time... and my morals are still inside my heart eventhough I haven't gone to church. "true love waits" Its a white gold ring given to a teen. And kept until you fine the right person. Many years later I find myself still wearing this ring... and part of me thinks it really kepts guys away. I'm not waiting until I'm married. I want to tell them that... I'm just waiting for my true love. Is that alright? Can people still wait... and know for sure the other loves them back?... or is it more of a game now and love happens not to be part of it. "True love waits" ....its been 7 years since I was given this ring in church.. others in the group who got the ring are gone now. or...just stopped wearing it. But... part of me still needs it on. Tell me...does true love really wait anymore?

Please don't answer "in your heart" as it's silly. I've seen ex-rays and God is not in my body and I don't think he is in yours. A spirit would be routed out by your body's defense anyway. Only concrete forms or enities could build stars, planets ect.

I am wondering why people are still touting the wonderfulness of embryonic stem cells which have not been proven to be effective at all---when we SHOULD be pouring money into Adult Stem Cell research since they are plentiful (umbilical cords and many humans available) and they have been PROVEN to be effective?

Why are people still getting caught up in this political quagmire when we could be doing real good!!!

On my travels around the globe I have had the pleasure of attending local services of almost all relgions on the planet, but the only ones who pass around a plate afterwards were the Christian Churches. Why is the father of just Jesus so bad with his money?

I've totally enjoyed reading St. John of the Cross and he has a great book called, "The Dark Night of the Soul". Which I highly recommend to anyone interested in spiritulaity (not just Christians)

But wait, you say... You're a Pagan!!! What are you reading Christian literature for?

I'm weird okay. Deal with it.

Anyway...

The phrase Dark Night of the Soul gets tossed around a fair amount so... What does it mean to you? Is it a bad thing? Is it a good thing? What comes of it?

My girlfriend and her family are strict Catholics, and I am insisting that she have the traditional Catholic/Christian wedding that her god approves of, and that frankly she has always dreamed about.

But her parents and her are strong believers that marriage should be a compromise and that we should have a split ceremony, first a traditional Catholic one, then a ceremony traditional to my religion where we make small incisions on our wrists and let our blood mix together in two chalices. The first of which we burn as a sacrafice to Dortoh the pagan god of marriage as the participants chant in greek thanking Dortoh for bring us together, the second of which we burn as an offering of our combined love to satan.

What's the best way to have this split ceremony, and where should we have it?

I received a card with a lot of signatures of people who gave money towards a gift card, I received actual gifts from individual people, management gave me a special cash gift, and I even had other co-workers out of state send stuff. Should I send a card to each person that gave a gift and a mass card be posted for the groups of people? I need to know the professional way to handle this. I am very thankful.

I want everyone to pray that god will give these religious fools a sense of humor.
I am tired of seeing "you have been reported" after someone says something that is funny.
they are lost souls i dont believe in god, i think if he is real he spends a lot of time j***ing off, cause he's ttoo busy to do anything for us. anyway now you have something to pray for. good luck
