Society & Culture - 30 November 2006

Largely for the Christian folks here.

when you answer questions about Paganism. where do you get your information?

have you studied any Pagan religions?

What about our way of life?

or our history?

when someone asks a question about a Spell or Ritual. and you answer ,"there is a spell that does this or that"

how do you know? have you studied Spellcraft?

Most of us (Pagans) are not only free to study other religions but encouraged to do so. and for the most part when we answer a question aobut your belief system it is grounded in your holy text or the history of your church.

can you not do the same for the folks that you would answer for?

all that i ask is that you make an attempt to understand us and where our beliefs come from. and to answer questions about us from within the confines of our belief system. as we try to do for you.

Jesus was tolerant, is it so hard to try to be like Jesus?

I don't mean to offend anyone by asking for believers only, but I need only people who believe in the bible to answer. I have a friend who has lived her life mostly the way she has wanted to live. She claims that it is too late for her. That God has given up on her. She did attend Church some and she does believe in God. What I need is scriptuals from the bible saying that it is not too late for her and that she can still ask God to be forgiven and can recieve that forgiveness.
Does God really give up on you as she claims? Does He at any time turn His back on you?
Can you seek forgiveness and recieve it?
Any answers would be of great help.
THANKS!

Why are people who can look pretty on camera and pull-off a convincing crying scene (thanks to eye-drops), and people who can throw a football really far or a basketball through a hoop paid WAYYYYYY more than our firefighters who put their lives on the line for others, our mental health professionals who dedicate their professional lives to helping others improve the quality of their lives, or our teachers who instill knowledge in our future generation?

I don't think people who act, sing, or play sports don't have their purpose, but should they be making more money than they know what to do with while the rest of us struggle?

It's hard to want to dedicate your life to a worthy cause when providing entertainment value is what is rewarded.

Sorry, I know, it's just a fact of life in this society, and it does no good to be bitter about it, which I'm not. Just frustrated.

And I'm SICK of 'TomKat'! Ugh!

a 20th century British economist, argued for an “intermediate technology” that would result in a lessened economic growth but provide for basic human needs. Bassically, sacrificing the use of new technology to employ more people. In this statement he seems to combine two categories, “thinking with one’s hands.” What is it to “think with one’s
hands”? In the early 21st century, how would you interpret Schumacher’s idea?

not to be racist or anything.
I'm light brown, and I like this white guy. A girl told me white guys only like white girls. Now I'm all stressed. Another one of my friends told my white guys actually like coloured women.

What if this statement were true and all the government funding to make people quit smoking was a ploy to make everyone more vulnerable to becoming "cattle"?

I am talking about men also, so don't get all pissy. People seem like robots. I can't talk to anyone under 25 without bullsh*t. I think it is pathetic.

Do you still say this occasionally? Does your priest require you to say this in Confession?

What do you think of those pretty suburban housewives that drive SUV's the size of a UPS truck? Do you think that they are evil people for driving around a vehicle they don't need, polluting the earth to ridiculous degree? Or do you think they are worthless human beings who simply have kids, go shopping, and don't contribute to society in any meaningful way except to be trophy wives to their shallow husbands? Or do you think they look cool and wish you could be them? What do you think of when you see these women?

Why do so many people on this site feel they MUST ask respondents to 'please be nice' or 'I really don't want to offend anyone, so please don't think I am' ???????????

I think I know the answer to that , it's because so many people attack others and 'falsely report' others . . . . . . But I'd like to know .. . . . . What Do You Think About It ???

who is Jewish correct? Do you think this is wrong? I'm sure he was a smart fellow and had a lot of good things to say, but he can't be my savior, I don't want him to be, because he's not my blood.???
