Society & Culture - 10 December 2006

I have posted a question about the New Age movement, and YES I am just as ticked off as many of you are. As a matter of fact, I wish the movement never existed to begin with since it is a synthesis of Wycca, the old Celtic pantheon, into which is now the religion of Marin -- MY RELIGION! As a Unitarian, I feel that both my religious beleifs and my civil rights have been stripped. Whoever started the movement is going to pay for this, because it nearly cost me my own marriage. And you better believe my wife is just as angry as I am. How would you feel if your religion was infringed because of its advantages. First Hinduism was ripped off, then Rastafaria, then Islam and now Marin! I feel like crying an ocean of tears. I appreciate any viewpoints you may offer for my question. Thank you, and may Gaia bless you with Her bounty.

The lyrics go:

I like sugar and I like tea
But I don't like ni**ers, no sirree
There are two lone things that'll make me puke
Is a hog eatin' slop and a big black spook.


I think it may be Johnny Horton or Johnny Rebel, but I am not sure.

Comeing here in living having gained a measure of LIFE and progressing from mortal living which is important as well apreciated the oportunity to gain LIFE and progress into the immortal stage as well and being open to gain eternal life. Tasteing some of the fourth dimension which one does not loose in passing on ,or if completed one may not see death. also realize death serves a very benefical purpose which most are unaware of its benefits to those dying......Beleiver in Lord Christ Jesus and knowing that the Lord God is the formative poser of Creator God but not God in its entierty. Surendering daily onesself righteousness for Gods righteousness (right use) for those born of spirit comes forth realizations of many blessings unfoldment of man and art of regeneration

You know what I'm talking about - women, who on finding out that you're gay suddenly speak in a camp, lispy voice and call you 'pet' names like 'darling' and 'honey' because they think that's how all gay men speak and carry on......

Like so many young boys (age 6) I did not like girls but was told I was suppose to like them
but I did like other boys my age and as I grew up I liked men in high school and college. It feels the most natural thing for me.

When you gonna face what you can't dismiss?
Whatcha gonna say to the... Soul Kiss that is my God?
Fearsome like the sag in a fat man's chair?
Sweeter than a patch of Rogaine hair?
How do you define what you can't compare?
This is... My God

And there's no use explaining what can't be contained

I'm not following a God I can lead around
I Can't tame this deity
That's why Jesus is the final answer
to Who I want my God to be!
He's Who (I want my God to be...)

How you gonna reckon with a God this Great?
Why you gonna measure what you can't equate?
Whatcha gonna say to the... Checkmate that is my God?
Stronger than the burn of an aftershave?
Tender as a burger in the microwave, rarer than the air in an empty grave?
This is... My God
And there's no use explaining what can't be contained

How we gonna work this out?
To fabricate a God like this?
No doubt
We'd end up worshipping a Christ of our own desire, but Jesus doesn't fit that profile...
His ways are not mine.

Any link to relevant website? I need what you know (about work done to discover this) not what you think.

i've been with this guy for 5 years, since i was 18 actually. I'm now 23. I love him very much but he doesnt trust me. In the past he had been used for money and he still thinks that thats the reson i'm on the relationship. Yes he helps me from time to time and buys me things, but that doesnt really matter to me. I left my family to live with him, have no friends because they judge me and dont get my relationship. We have had some problems through the year i worked for him and everytime i had a problem at work always affected the armony at the house.Even though i love so much i'm not a sexual person and he is so he gets mad at me i like to go out and have fun with my friends and sometimes i get home the next morning and he doesnt like that Recentrly he found out i used drugs and even though im not anymore he doesnt belive that. I'm constantly afraid of him trowing me out of his house We have two dogs that are my life.Iive told him he can keep him everything. I dont want to hurt him.

like in those MOPS groups ladys go to find costumers, instead dedicate their energy on the real job of beeing a son of God, or those festivals where they sale food and bring clawns to the same place where they preach... I think is not right... what do you think...

I would like to buy a holy bible for my wife, but I want it to look really nice and get her name embroidered on it. Where is a good web site to purchase such a gift?

I've been doing goofy shifts beginning any time from 6am to midnight on any given day (often switching between the two in the same week, some of them going 10-12 hours, and without two days off in a row) for my entire working life, and a lot of the people I know have been in the same boat. What happened to people having managable 8 hour days, with week-ends and the opportunity to sleep at the same end of the day every day? Wasn't there a time when crap like this was illegal or immoral or something? Aaaargh!

I need to know! is santa real or is it just some guy who breaks in your house and leaves the presents under the tree. Isn't that breaking and entering? My house doesn't have a chimney. How does santa get in? What if someone leaves the fire place on, won't santa get hurt? How does santa make video games. cause they are hard to make. How does santa get the presents? does he steal them? and even if his little elves make the product does the original company that made the toy get any of the profit. Isn't that stealing. he can get sued. If santa "knows when your sleeping, "knows when your awake" isn't that stalking?
What does santa do for a living to pay for his materials? How can he live in the north pole? isn't that impossible?
For some reason i can't understand why people buy a lot of things during this season when you can get it free from santa?

Please tell me the answers to thes questions? My brain hurts.

So how many Wiccans out there really have studied their own faith? Many of us bash Christians, talking about the burning times and the intolerance of Christians who call us Satan worshipers.

How many actually know who Gerald Gardner is?
How about Doreen Valiente?
Where did the Rede come from?
Who thinks that Witches practice only "White Magick"?

For those of us who confront Christians about their ignorance, how many of us actually take the time to know our own faith?

How many of us actually take the time to post well-thought-out and well spelled posts?

How many of us have read something more than "To Ride a Silver Broomstick"?

I'm not doubting people, but just think that we ought hold ourselves to the same standards that we hold others. Where do you stand?
