Earlier it was posted that there should be more Wiccan beliefs on this board. Now I know there's a lot of you out there that think you can come up with some snappy responses to my question, but please refrain.
When I think of the Wiccans I don't really think about what they believe, but more of how they believe in it. More so than Christians whether they be Protestant, or the Catholics. Do they have rituals with beads, bongs, and dances around big fires. It's the perfect religion/belief for anyone who wants to feel like they have some special powers. I take it that most Wiccans had a real low self esteem when they grew up. Mix this with rebellion against a religion (whatever it may be) and make them feel like they have something no one else has.....MAGIC. I'm Atheist, but no so much that I believe in nothing at all, but I find Wicca to be too much Faries and Unicornes. Honestly, don't you find that the REAL reason that you believe Wicca is because it involves you doing magic?

I have been researching Christian denominations hoping to find the one that God wants me to be, in that search I have found another question I have searched alot of sites hopeing to find an answer but sadly have not any way here is my question
Which Christian denominations/Church will be be accepting (will not get rude or mad with me) of the fact that I enjoy praying the Rosary & the Divine Mecry Chaplet I know that the Cathiolic denomination is very accepting of this but was wondering if any other denominations/churchs are.The reason I am asking this is because I have had someone to get rude & what seemed to be mad at me for just wearing a Rosary, when asked if I prayed it I answered yes that only added to the problem.
Thank you for time,please take your time & answer like Respectful Adults

Lets see how many give an UNAPOLOGETIC - UNQUALIFIED - ENTHUSIASTIC "YES"
QUALFIED = "YES BUT..."
UNAPOLOGETIC = "YES." OR "YES, FOR EXAMPLE, I LOVE..."
Myself, I love American culture, western culture in general. I love it and anyone can make me parrot this...I will parrot this all day, seriously, I love it and I am so thankful that I am not forced to smell a mans rear end 5 times a day and separated from the opposite sex. I am sooo thankful for freedom.
OK MUSLIMS...PROVE ME WRONG...POUR YOUR LOVE OUT!!

How is it that you can't believe in something that's supported by 150+ years of emperical evidence but you have faith in something more or less imperceptible? FYI for those of you that like to state that Evolution is "just" a theory, it's only a theory in the strict scientific sense. Basically everything is a theory until it is disproven. It has withstood the rigorous test of time...so it's not really a theory in the sense people usually use the word theory i.e. meaning an unsupported conjecture.

They always seem to want to speak english, and don't care if you speak japanese. That's been my experience. And it's specially true if the people are advanced in english. But i think it's pretty rude to ignore your interest in their culture and language. Why do they do this? Why can't they share, and speak in two languages. that's how i view it whenever i speak to a foreigner, i like to share and learn from them too.

At least I think that's the question I suspended for. Though there were a couple others I might've got some complaints about. Por ejemplo: "I recently killed my neighbor's cat in a fit of rage... should I tell him?", or "Why does my wife make such a big deal everytime I sleep with other women?" or "I accidently brought the wrong kid back from disney world, what should I do?" etcetera, the list goes on. Although they're a little offbeat maybe, I don't think it's right that Yahoo would ban me. What do all y'all think? Anyway, I'm back now (under a different email), muahahahaha.

The man in Luke 16:24 cries: ". . .I am tormented in this FLAME."
In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
In Matthew 25:41, Jesus says: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting FIRE,. . ."
Revelation 20:15 says, " And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE
I get the impression that there is some fire in hell......
Liberal Christians ignore what it actually says in the bible and they make up their own religion. The bible says that not everyone will go to heaven.

I dated someone for almost 4 years and I caught him (literally) cheating on me with another girl in the bed we had shared. Is this a big deal to happen to someone? It has been almost a year since and I am doing much better. But I was wondering if this is something that can be very traumatic to a person? Or was I overeacting? You hear a lot of people talk about stories like that and see it in movies, but does it rarley ever happen to people you actually know?

And why Muslims should be apologetic? We Muslims doesn't care what you think of us. The problem is with the Muslims who have weak faith and try to answer their fugly questions in apologetic manner.
They try to teach us PEACE --when they are the greatest plunderer
and war-mongers. We understand PEACE--but not on your terms and standards--but in our own.
You should read those verses in their context--not out of their context.
For thousands of years Muslims did read and understand what they meant. If they misunderstood the verses--there shouldn't be any Jews or Christians left in the Middle-East or North Africa. Right?
There shouldn't be Coptic Christians in Egypt. There shouldn't be any Mizrahi or Shephardic Jews left.There shouldn't be any Hindus left in India.During the 700 years of Muslim rule in Spain--the majority were always Christian--they were not forced to convert--they remained alive. But just after the Christians took over--there were SPANISH INQUISITION. The Christians well understood the Bible for sure. Certainly, Quran condemns the unbelievers to hell-fire--so did the Bible. The verses that are about killing infidels are in direct combat or war. It's not about killing civilians. Didn't Christians kill each other in wars? If your country is attacked or you are persecuted as a group--you won't war against
your opponents? And is there any war without killing????
Why Good Muslims aren't standing up against Islamic extremists?
I think they are just a by-product or reaction to the Imperialist
Neo-Con real Western Terrorists. Why did you vote the fugly
TERRORIST NUMBER ONE--BUSH? Muslims should not be apologetic anymore.Muslims doesn't fear anyone except God. Our enemie's enemy is our Friend.

I just wonder if a person is willing to change her/his mind. In this site I have read a lot of Q/A that states God doesn't exist because there is no scientific evidence to prove it (though i personally believe there is plenty of evidence around us and science is not the only way of proving everything, especially those things related to faith). Since scientific knowledgement is not and absolute and static thing...every day new evidence is discovered and new theories are proved or refused. My question is how would you feel if in a couple of year scientifical evidence of the existence of God is published and diffused?? (This question is for both, those who don't believe right now and those who do)
I believe in science and i also believe it doesn't has to be necessarily opossite to faith.
PD (Hope your answer will not be: "such thing will never happen", that wouldn't be rational, at this time almost everything could happen.)

Well the question I was wondering is why so many claim to be christian yet at the same time they dont follow their own beliefs? As well as why alot of places of worship are almost more political then anything now a days? Example -is that alot of churches dont recognize you as that man of god anymore you would be recognized more so as ur posistion... thats the pastor or hes the deacon. At the same time I know of alot of people within the church that had affairs outside of their own marriage, people that openly discriminate others, that treat others as they are less of a person because of anything considering that most of the basis of being part of ones family
