Have any of you passed high school Geeology? Did you use the Geological time scale and answer questions in reguard to Geological time?
If you passed then you must have and in doing so you went against your personal beliefs for your own benifit.
You either lied then or your telling lies now.
Are creation "scientists" hypocrites?

I am American. My husband plays a video game online with several guys from the U.K. They got offended when he called them British and insisted on being called English. Is this a geographic preference, or is this some sort of class distinction? Does everyone feel this way about it? I want to understand so that I don't accidentally offend someone. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!

I find that when I became Pagan 10 years ago I really went all out for myself , as time goes on I am more meditative about the holidays and celebrate in a personal way. I still have to celebrate all of the Christian holidays as well...so I in some ways I feel like I am cheating myself because I have to get my act together for family holidays and don't put forth the effort for myself.

"The life of the fllesh is in the blood, and I have given it upon the altar to make atonement for your sins." Leviticus 17vs11

Isaiah 52:13-53:12 explains how Messiah Jesus was as promised to first suffer "and lay down his life as an atonement for our sins." So He was allowed into Israel to fulfill this-but was Moses right to say we had to have a blood atonement for sins, in that in Genesis it tells he couldnt even enter israel and was burried outside of the land due to Moses' sin?

in the South East quite near to London, and there are areas which are frequented entirely by specific minority groups [I have no opinion on this by the way]... but I have noticed over the years that every time a billboard picture is put up in these areas, the following day they are partially painted over as the advertising pictures may have women with exposed arms or legs showing. It happens all the time...

Most of the advertising is actually not sexually explicit.. there might have been a Loreal ad with a woman running her hand through her hair but she has a bare arm so some of the people living in this area will paint over the picture all the way up to her neck...

Is this painting over of the billboards reasonable taking into account peoples' religious affectations....?

If you have a close family member who has passed away, I would like to have your opinion on what you feel about their existence now? Please close your eyes and irrespective of your religious beliefs ask yourself in what way do you feel their presence. Is he/she far removed, say in place called heaven, or has been reborn, or out there near you in someway. I would like to know how you feel about it. I will greatly appreciate personal anecdotes if you would like to share them here. Thank you all very much.

I try to give things people want and throw in a few natural gifts as well. My family usually want gift cards (boring) I give those as well as some artisan made things or items made out of shells or stones. What do you give to your families?

I dont' believe in cutting a live tree down. I wondered if other Pagans, had a fake tree as well. I have also thought of decorating a tree in my yard to celebrate the Goddess, without harming a tree.

I'm at a loss as for what to get for my brother. He's 10 years old. He's into videogames, but I don't want to buy him another game for Christmas. I want to find something that will get him to learn, but he doesn't like books or sports at all. I don't want to get action figures or legos or anything like that for him, because he already got them for his birthday. My mom and I were concidering a drum set, but we're not sure yet. Any ideas would REALLY help me. Thanks

I am a Christian,but my "connection",so to speak,with God just seems to be fading.I am feeling kind of lost and empty as far as my spiritual life goes.It just kind of creeped up on me not too long ago.Alot of prayer and thought is going into this already,but any (kind&andthoughtful) advice is apreciated.(So,ya,I am going to do this the WSIDR way)

What should I do?

Faehrenheit instead of Celcius
Inches instead of centimeters..
even the voltage in electricity is different

I mean, the whole world is going one way, Americans the other.. why's that? (I'm not criticizing or anything.. I'm just wondering)
