I'm not talking about unprovable "after life" consequences based on threats and promises.

The only consequence I can see is when you get caught or are accused of "sinning".
The REAL LIFE consequences seem to be disapproving glances, slander, defamation of character, demonization, and ostracism from other self righteous Christians when they are in need of manipulating others. So the only real consequences seem to be somewhat subtle but sometimes overt social and psycholigical punishment by other humans.

Do not focus only on the extremes. Murder, thievery, rape, etc. are not the only things considered "sins". Lots of silly, petty things are also included and the list is almost unlimited depending on the needs of the Christian manipulator. For example "Harry Potter is a sin", or "eating meat on Friday during lent", or sometimes simply questioning beliefs.

And I still don't get the reason for calling people "sinners" if everyone is supposedly a "sinner".

I follow Asatru and would love to know what you follow. I really enjoy learning about fellow pagan's paths - to be tollerant and understanding you must ask and learn!
NOTE to christians, do not start your paganism is evil rubbish. I try to respect your religion so be respectful of mine. Study it before judging it! I was once one of you so I know what you can be like lol.

I really liked them. I remember CBS took them off the air because they were too political. I find that funny now because look at SNL as an example. Yes, I still watch that sometimes, just miss the original ones. Share your thoughts, please.

That we will not become that which we speak out against.
That we will not speak ill of each other or anyone.
That we will encourage each other to strengthen our faith and lift others up.
That we will each strive to be a light for the hard of seeing, not a roadblock.

I know we will be successful with a little help from Jesus!

If you agree, say AMEN!

When you talk about a band, say, Depeche Mode, or any group/association, do you use the conjugation "is" or "are"?

For example, "Depeche Mode are releasing a new album soon!!" or "Depeche Mode is releasing a new album soon!!"

I always thought it was "is" because the noun is considered to be ONE thing, not many. I'm asking because on a forum I go to, the administration is constantly using the word "are" and it's totally wrong to me, but honestly, I don't know anymore.

we are saved as we say no to sin and yes to God. We say yes when we refuse to sin. We are saved by faith working through love. Love is the greatest commandemnet. We must feed the hungry clothe the naked and be our brothers keeper. Paul said he ran the race, he also said we are "being" saved, as a process. It is coorperation with the grace of God. If we sin we are called to repent, there is no such thing as once saved always saved and scripture clearly teaches this.

Why do some (not all, but its still a substantial amount) older people think most of the population under 30 is immature and inexperienced? My grandmother took me out amongst her friends one day and they were commenting on "you young people" .... and one had the audacity to call me a kid!
I have noticed this with a lot of the eldetly, that they don't take the younger generations seriously although we are the ones with the jobs paying the taxes for the Social Security to support their old butts....
I am currently in the process of a move and the guy leasing the place acted as if I were too young to keep up the place... and he called me a kid!
Has anyone ever felt short changed because of their age?

We were created sick (sinful), ordered to be well (saved), & Yahweh is peddling the only cure (Jesus). The game is rigged!

God MEANT for all of humanity to be tainted by sin. Don't bother arguing; many Christians have, on a myriad of occasions, explained this to me in great detail. SO... God WANTED us born sick. Then he says "get well or you'll be punished forever". Ok, so where's the cure? Ooooooh, Jesus is the only cure... and wouldn't ya know it, Jesus IS God.

It's a classic racket. It's like a mob boss who sends goons to trash local businesses and then extorts "protection money" out of the business owners. He creates a problem and then offers the only solution. Same thing with God.

Is a deity like that WORTHY of worship??

I know that you are not supposed to use the same candles over for different spells, but what about illuminator candles? I don't want to have to go buy new candles if I am not using them in the spell, just for light.

My other question is about the dieties. I know you aren't supposed to mix dieties.. But what if I do different spells in the same circle/ritual. Can I use different pantheons then?

A Kabbalah friend of mine, told me Jesus was a Pisces (born in March - the symbol of the fish), as the calander for the Bible is 1st month - April : 12th month - March. Can anyone give me more information as to 1st to 4th week? Or maybe even a day and back it up with some information that I can research further.

Any help, greatly appreciated. With much Love

May God Bless you and Keep you in His Mercy.
