I was told by my friend who's Wiccan that their is a difference to quote his exact words: "pagan is bad, don't meddle with it." I take his warning with meaning and intend to fallow it but I want to know the difference between the two so I can fallow his advice, he says that the difference is: "pagan is a little more dark and involves a little heavier form of withcraft" Is that the only difference or is there more of one????

I am not jewish obviously, but i have read a lot about this holiday(for lack of better term, holiday). and decided to observe it in my christian faith. its also called the day of atonement. You go out and seek or give forgiveness to others so that at sunset you can atone for your sins against God, pray and fast.

anybody else in the Christian faith observing this?

Slavery has been a fact of life as long as mankind has been on this planet, and it is still going on in Africa and Asia. Why are only the western nations being accused as being the main perpetrators. Political correctness and expedience gone mad or are we just an easy target. Try asking Saudi Arabia to apologise and set their slaves free.

It was in Holland, middle of nowhere, the only place to stay miles around, a hostel. It was super hot that day, all we wanted was a cool shower. There was just one big room with 2 dozen bunk beds, mixed gender. But it was the only choice. So we grabbed our stuff headed for the showers. We asked there they were and he pointed at a door. We walked in to a suprise. Just a wall of shower heads a foot apart from each other.

There were naked guys and girls showering or drying off. As americans we were not used to this. We ended up just hurring up and showering. With only 3 spouts there was a line. I ended up standing 1 foot from a naked man. I have a thick ghetto butt and we both turned and his obviously large penis hit my butt. He quickly applogized in a very thick accident and left.
I am very curious how other women would have reacted to this situation?
Both the shower situation and the accidental contact?

My husband was raised as a Jehovah's witness, and all through his childhood he never celebrated Christmas because it was originally a Pagan holiday, so they just avoided it altogethr.
My mother-in-law told me that during the Pagan winter celebrations, men would beat their wives and have drunken sex with other men to celebrate. Is that true?
That sounds like a pretty crappy party to me.

I want something real, actually going on with people that will really make them emotional. Drugs and alcohol [kind of overrated when it comes to psa?] Can anyone give me ideas about real issues going on that will really reach out to people?

I would appreciate serious answers please.

I am trying to learn italian. I just have a question about self nouns? When saying parlo un'po Italiano, am I referring to myself or would I say Italiano in asking someone if they speak Italian? Another example would be with capescio and capeche. Capeche is in asking someone else if they understand, right? No online translators please. You can give me websites though. Keep it short and sweet.

Iwas watching coverage of the Jena 6 march on TV last night and they showed a lot of the video of the marchers and their surroundings. It seems they were all standing around with their coolers having a BBQ and stuff, even laughing and joking, and it got me wondering.

In YOUR opinion what percentage of people were truly their to support the Jena 6 and equal rights? And how many were just along for the free trip, bus ride, BBQ and a free T shirt?

Is this why the devil is running wild throughout the universe doing what ever it wants to do, like creating fossils, other religions and the spiritual feelings those religions produce, nations with different creation myths that never heard of God, ancient savior god-men born in a cave of a virgin that died to save the world before Jesus got here, and playing Teletubbies on PBS where our kids can see them?

I'm trying to find the name of a band who lost one of their band members or a family member due to a death. This band made a song about him. I can remember some of the video…it’s a white guy with tattoos all on his arms, in some of the video they are at a house and then near the end of the video they are sitting on the beach with all his friends and family around a fire and you can see like a silhouette of his reflection. I think it’s 90’s or early 2000 group. Please if anyone has a clue as to who this band is I sure would appreciate the help.. I placed this once already in the music category but I forgot more details…

Before you talk madd sh*t out your mouth, consider the meaning of the name and understand the substance of the origin of the name and not it's religious context. Before you judge me, look up the meaning of the name to see what it's meaning. Here is the meaning defined by Wikepedia Online Encyclopedia: Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Septuagint Greek heosphoros, ("dawn-bearer"); (cf. Greek phosphoros, "light-bearer") and the Hebrew Helel, ("Bright one") used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity.

I may be assuming here on the roughage aspect but why else would anyone sit on the toilet to read when there's a nice Queen Anne chair in the den or a comfy bed with a little reading light? I mean, i don't go to the library, take my pants down and sit on a chair with the seat cut out of it to read Vanity Fair.
