The Wiccans first belief (my apologies if I misquote this) is to not cause harm to others.

The Biblical teachings of Jesus in the New Testament show to turn the other cheek.

Muslims believe in peace.

And I believe the same is true about the Hindu and Buddist faiths.

So if those of us who are religious follow these principles, why can't we stop the bickering, the hatred, and the antagonism?

Does it really matter if someone else from one of the other religious camps did something wrong that was offensive?

What will it take for people to learn peace?

Why can't we stop blaming what another religion or another person did in the past?

GUYS! First of all do you like hugging??

If you initate a hug with a girl, does that mean you feel anything for her??

What about a side hug vs. a frontal hug.

Are there certain girls you would side hug and not hug frontally and vise versa?

A guy I know always hugs me really close and it's always a frontal hug and a good tight hug.....does this mean anything??

Are there different meanings or implications to a hug??

THANKS!

I sort of bought an ocarina on ebay while drunk. But... I'm not sure what it is or how to say it. I'm not going to lie, though, I'm really excited. HAve you ever played Zelda: Ocarina of Time? I played that once and I'm really excited because now I'm going to pretend that I'm Zelda, playing it once I figure out how it works.

was jesus a latino? Plenty of people have told me so, which i really do not believe. It does not make sense. No one inhabited the Americas until the 1600s. He could not have been a Spaniard because he was the descendant of King David. It does not make sense to me that he was a Latino. I think he was either a Sephardic Jew or a Ashkenazi Jew.
