I see the plight of non0white people and see how they are the ones always getting the worse things to happen to them and am wondering how does God feel about them? All of the non-white groups. It is sad to see the plight of them. In my small town many of them are dnied good jobs even though they try to get them.

In part that is what sparked my question. i am heart-broken to see those people groups the way they are.

in the bible, it talks a lot about gold in heaven... and jasper, etc... these are things that MAN knows.. they have been idolized by man for thousands of years.. so if man wrote the bible, of course his heaven would be filled with gold...

hello, yes I am pagan so all those who would wish to convert me don't bother. I'd like to know if anyone knows of any good pagan resources, maybe even coven type things, in the Antelope Valley(Specifically Palmdale & lancaster),ca. I already know of midsummer faeries & sacred space, and I've heard of online groups but my comp. access is VERY limited, so if you know of anything? Also, I'm trying to raise my baby pagan with my very mormon, very anti-pagan mother in the house. Any tips on how to deal w/ that?(& for all you naysayers who would assume I'm a freeloader, actually she's disabled and lives with me.)Appreciate any positive comment. :)

It's obvious we have a clash of cultures going on. We in the west want to live in peace and harmony - allowing others to worship as they please. The Muslims want to put anyone who isn't a muslim to the sword. The recent reaction to the Popes words were a disgrace, shooting a Nun, burning churches, rioting in the street & burning flags. All over the world there are muslims terrorists. Why are so called moderate muslim leaders not publicly outraged at the way other muslims are acting?

i went to church this last sunday with my wife.(she's mormon) she is going to be having surgery in a week so she wanted to be blessed by her bishop.
so to make her happy i went with her. (i am a pagan)
i was seated with her when the bishop and a few of the priests and told me i had to leave. they noticed that around my neck was a pentagram with a ruby in it called a dragons blood and is a symble with my religion for protection. i explained what i was doing there but they insisted i leave or the police would be called. i went outside to wait for my wife and swore i would never set foot in another christian church again. but my question is what right did this supposed man of god have to do this to me?

Do you think Bush will help Israel if Iran attempts to attack or will He bend to the threats of oil prices going up.

Keep in mind that Israel is God's chosen people and He will bless those who help and curse those who don't.

At times, I feel that it is hard, but I have to do it to move on in life.

It's sort of like freedom.

Freedom from anger, hurt and pain, obstacles that prevent you from accomplishing great things and building new relationships.

I have to remember this, even if someone has deeply hurt me.

I am divided at times when it comes to forgiveness.

Pastor Butch Paugh who, in March of this year was invited to attend a meeting of his local FEMA chapter, has come forward to blow the whistle on a nationwide FEMA program which is training Pastors and other religious representatives to become policy enforcers who teach their congregations to "obey the government" in preparation for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation.

Invited Pastors were asked to make a pledge or an affirmation during the meeting to fulfil the roles ascribed to them by FEMA. The FEMA directors told the Pastors that attended that it was their job to help implement FEMA and Homeland Security directives in anticipation of any of these eventualities. The first directive was for Pastors to preach to their congregations Romans 13.
