There were some Pagan religions that had a god for every day of the year as well as for specific things like; harvest, fertility, war, etc....
Anyway these gods would be worshipped to gain the most ideal outcome.
My qestion is this " Do you think the Catholics created the Sainthood to take the place of the Pagan "gods for any occasion"?

fans of sports teams that are named after Native americans should be allowed to wear headdresses and smear themselves with paint? why or why not?

An interview I found:

Diana used to attened a high school with a team nicknamed "indians." she said she was proud to paint her face, stick feathers in her hair and make Hollywood war whoops as part of her cheerleading duties.
"i felt we were honoring the indians" she said. Suppose you team was called the "African-American," I asked her. Would you paint your face black, wear an Afrowing and prance around the football field trying to imitate your perceptions of black people? she responded, "Of course not! That would be insulting to blacks." My point is made.

I am a 2nd year college student, female,(obviously) and I like to do things which are not typical feminine things. I'm not homo or anything like that!

I like to watch football, and I love to help my dad with his general contracting work- power tools rock!-, but I also like to do really girly things like babysit and clean and cook, plus my fave color is pink.

So, am I cool or crazy? Thanks for your responses-I look forward to hearing from you ALL!

This is not intended to insult Muslims, this is just an honest question.

When I see a Muslim women all covered up I feel really creeped out. I feel like the woman is being controlled and has an awful life. I know that Muslims have a different opinion, but those are just the feelings that come to me. How do other Americans feel?
