When I got this computer I thought I'd get into some chat rooms not knowing what I was gonna read. Most I entered, I'd say, had kids 13 to 20 by the maturity of their writing. To me It sounded like a meat market...human meat. These poor lil' girls hadn't a clue what could befall them for the sexual invitations they were giving. I saw a program about sexual predators on the internet & so many girls were being slaughtered, not just killed, through this. Many chat rooms, even the ones I thought were a mature topic, were the same. I told my co-worker that I was looking forward to the company I was gonna have, since I lived alone at the time, through these chat rooms. She said, "Oh didn't you know, they're all like that"? How many of you are with me on keeping this site interesting and helpful and report people talking about how long (or not) their penises are!!

Many pople believe that our government knows something about UFOs and alien beings that they are keeping secret. But what if the truth really is that they know NOTHING about UFOs/aliens? What could the govt. say or do to convince UFO buffs that there is no coverup at all?

If the president says there is no coverup, he will be accused of lying. If the military opens up Area 51 to the public, people will say they moved the UFOs somewhere else. Is there anything that would convince believers that there are no aliens here on Earth (assume that is the truth)?

Prior to 500BC (roughly) pretty much all religion was Pagan. Around 500BC all over the world there was a major shift from poly- to monotheism, the "world's N great religions" came from this time, and many of the leaders of major religions came from this period, such as Confucius, Lao Tsu, Buddha, several high prophets of Judaism, and more. So after 500BC many areas of the world became non-Pagan or mixed.
Few current Pagans realize that in their beliefs they may be more New Age than Pagan, and this includes many Wiccans. New Age, at one time termed "the Perennial Philosophy" starts with Plato, then Plotinus and the Neo-Platonist, mixed with Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and the Mystery Religions, with a great debt to Advaita Vedanta Hinduism both early and later, was passed down through the Templars and various heretic groups, the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Theosophy, to the Golden Dawn and the High Magickal traditions, until it formed much of Wicca through Gardner.

I do not know anybody who has been in the Vundun circles, but I have a strong interest in finding out more about it in reference to working with spirits... for ideas and applications and the like. I am fairly certain that I can summarize it up as being talisman + trance-state invocation + object containment + et cetera... but I was hoping that I could find a good piece of literature on the subject. Any occultists or 'pagan's out there please help guide my focus. There is always Amazon of course... but hey, I thought I'd try first. (Vundun = Voodoo, for those who do not know)

By Christianity, I mean strictly the fundamentalist, evangelical variety that feel the need to "save" the rest of us, and impose their views on others, whether by just offering unsolicited advice or by trying to legislate their personal "morals" on everyone else. I DO NOT refer to the true Christian- those who offer love and acceptance, do not judge, allow people their differences, and only want to live their lives according to the dictates of their own conscience but do not feel the need to inflict it on others.

I left home when I was 15, and I was able to work and rent a bedsit. That was in 1968. I'd say it's been impossible since about 1980, and I'd like to know why. Can we ask young people to be responsible while paying them kiddie-wages so they CAN'T look after themselves? I'm not saying it's a fact, it's my opinion, so relax. I'd be interested to know what other people think.

I had been watching a house on the local real estate website for several months. I finally decided that I really wanted to persue it and I was going to try to convince my husband that we should buy it, but it was a little expensive for us at the time. I looked at it one last time and prayed before I went to bed by asking God to make it easy for us if it was something good for us and to keep it away from us if it was something bad. The next day I opened up the computer to show my husband, and I couldn't believe my eyes, for the price had been lowered overnight by $10,000! We bought it several weeks later. I swear this is completely true. So for those of you who don't believe in prayers being answered, how do you explain that one?

Catholics pray to her and seek guidance and intercession from her to God. This is a form of worship.'Venerate' or whatever word you want to use doesn't change the fact that Catholics ask Mary to intercede with God for them. This is a form of worship. Mary is dead, she has no power, never did. She can not hear you and can not intercede for you. Believing as though she can is worship.

Any answers please?

And..well, Lao Tzu lived in a time of War from which he fled. To mongol territory perhaps. Ah: sage insight, as and if thou wilt.
