Over the years the values of our societies have changed greatly. What values were shown in ancient myths, such as Heracles, or Perseus, that we have lost now? Basically, what are some of the ancient values, and what are some of the present days?

i ask as an atheist.
but why is it that atheists and christians are the most unexcepting of the beliefs of others?
atheists are suppose to be open minded. but there seems to be an atheist crusade going on. everyone should be free to believe what they want. those who fanaticaly attack others beliefs as though they know with 100% certainty the truth are as bad as the religious types that do the same.

Putting aside various aches and pains, being unable to party all night, I'm really beginning to enjoy a glass of Baileys of an evening and starting to think that maybe Girls Aloud are very fanciable and can actually sing. While I'm not quite ready for the slippers and the rocking chair I do have my eye on one of those electric carts favoured by Hell's Grannies.

I'm saying I have seen a lot of post recently about the OT God, which from what I can see can be called the death God, because he can't help but kill people or order people to kill. the OT god is one of the most vicious characters in all of literature, somehow the religious faithful try to defend it by saying, "Well those people were evil and didn't listen to God," which is a pathetic answer, but seem to forget these quotes..... "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things" (Isa 45:7 KJV) -- "The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil" (Prov 16:4 KJV) -- "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?" (Amos 3:6 KJV).

So if it is God creating this evil, how can they make excuses? Is God just PO'D? OR is this an allegory and is quite unworthy to think of a God in this manner? Man he is so angry.

When answering the question “Do you have any 2007 predictions (spiritually)? The good & pretty and the bad & ugly” I wrote down with little thought:

“I will have accomplished a full physical transformation before the middle of the year. The more time goes on, the more I realize that my animal spirit and I are one and the same. My fox spirit and I, we are one. I am my fox. I am fox. The closer I get to this understanding, the closer I come to a p-shift

That is my spiritual prediction.”

What I got in response concerned me a bit, but not that I thought that it was true, but that the asker of the question honestly thought this.

“I'm concerned about the Philosopher. You can't become one spirit with a fox. A demon is tricking you. I predict that you will have a true spiritual awakening, renewed in spirit with God.”

I worry about these people because their religion has clouded their thoughts beyond help.

How can you see the earth and the universe, so perfectly placed so that it doesn't all crash together and create a huge mess, and not believe SOMETHING or SOMEONE other than a giant explosion put it there? How can you see how magnificently we have evolved in our studies in science, math, literature, art, and so many other areas and not believe that something made that happen? I am not asking if you believe in God or not, because there are other theories - including athiesm - which i completely respect, but how can you see these things and not believe that there is something placing it there for a reason?

Our relatives who are settled in USA for 35 years or so come to India like every other year? It's their holiday time and they just let us know they are coming. They bring their stupid el cheapo gifts which they purchase from sales which nobody wants here but for we cannot return lest we appear rude. But as our guests we always buy them stuff from the best stores in India. They come for like a month or two, we give them a room, they never help with cooking, somebody's gotta drop of their drycleaning and pick it up every other day, boil water for them everyday coz their poor american immune system can't handle the indian water handle their travel arrangements for meeting their old friends and all. How do i drop a hint to them that they should shell out money and stay at a five star hotel. It's they who want to visit India every other year, we din't invite them. My folks used to do it but I have corporate MNC job with no time to spare for their tantrums.

I have been a Wiccan for five years, and had most of my tools, the other's my fiance had, but due to a recent incident in which my sister's house caught on fire (we all lived together) I have lost all of my tools and other things... I, my best friend Nova, my fiance Tubbs, and my father-like-friend Miles (who past away after the fire) all believe homemade tools generate my power and are generally better, but I have no clue where to start, does anyone know how to or knows a link to make the following items: a sword, athame, white-handled knife, an altar, chalices, candles, a wand, censer, incense, a pentacle, cauldron, broom (besom) , robes, cords, and a bell... I know that that is quite a bit, but it would really help if you could tell me one or more if you know how to make them... or any other tools I might have left out...

This question is addressed to all of those who would attempt to persuade others to their way of thinking instead of just loving one another.

Our world is dying and visionaries from every walk of life including every religion and tribe of the world for centuries have foreseen the possible end of our world if we cannot unite and feel love for one another above our petty individual beliefs.

Why is this not more important to you than squabbling over details of who is a God or what they stand for. This information is particular to each person. It is special in your heart, but it does not have to mean the same thing to everyone else in the world as it does to one person. This is not realistic. Nobody feels exactly the same about anything. Our views vary according to our experiences. Why are you not capable of being silent and focussing on similarities and just sharing love rather than hurting others and tearing our world apart with your differences?
