Society & Culture - 26 September 2007

This question is inspired by an e-mail I received. It goes like this " there is no other allmighty gods that is true but there are millions of less powerful or only mighty gods that are subjected to most powerful being, " god" is not a name is a title or attribute."

Help me out.

I refer to this question:

To begin with, Christmas isn't even Christian in origin. If you were to research it, read respected biblical scholars and theologians on this you would know that Jesus was NOT born on December 25th.

Since the festivity of the winter solstice is more cultural than anything it includes ALL peoples.

Besides if stores are offering 50% sales etc, why SHOULDN'T an atheist seize the opportuntiy to shop and give presents?

If its the one time the family is gathering ANYWAY, why can't a non-Christian or atheist participate?

I do not understand the logic that if ALL people get to participate in something, then it makes it lose meaning. Especially if it is something that is more symbolic, completely subjective and requires no special skills to do.

How is YOUR celebration diminished by someone else also celebrating?

I have read endless descriptions of what God must do: listen to every prayer, no matter how petty or self serving; reward every attempt to do "good;" punish every attempt to do bad; or keep track and punish them later.

Is this a God or a personal lapdog?

I have two sisters--one twin sister, and a 14 year-old sister. We're really as close as glue--as my mom would say. We put our arms around each other, we hug, we kiss (on the cheek, of course), and I've developed a habit of placing my hand on my sisters' thighs! My sisters see nothing wrong with that, nor do I! I asked them if they feel uncomfortable with it, and they said it was okay! They don't complain! But then, our prying neighbors say I'm perverted, and that I'm having "incestous relations" with my sisters!?

At this time of year I always reflect on my personal harvest, and
with the Full moon so close to the equinox, it seems I have done more
thinking on my spiritual path this last week than I have for a good
few years.

Labels are not always helpful, but they often assist us in
identifying those who share similar beliefs. I have considered myself
pagan for about 20 years, and about 10 of the years have been spent
walking a mainly Druidic path. Or has it?

I have always said that Druidry comes closer to who I am than
anything else I have so far come across, certainly closer than Wicca,
which is where I started out.

As I'm sure we all know though, as we walk this path our view
changes, as it does when we walk along any path :) and as my
interests have grown and developed, so has my way of practising my
Druidry.

Anyway, as I said at the beginning, I have been evaluating where I
am, and to be honest, I'm not sure if Druid still describes who I am,
so what would?

My main interests are to do with healing, such as herbalism, crystal
healing, energy healing such as Reiki, aromatherapy, and many others
LOL. I make my own incense, soap, medicines any many other things. I
have been looking at what Green/Hedge witchcraft involves, and I am
wondering if this is perhaps closer to what and who I am. What do you
think?

me and my partner are very sexual... having sex on a daily basis, oral, different positions....


do you think there is a limit on too much sex to make a relationship not healthy?

i try not to base the whole relationship on sex, but our sex drives are compatible (very very high)


do you think it will harm us down the road?

You may have noticed a change in the behavior of the wildlife in 2007. Migratory birds arrived and then became confused a few days later. Some were flying south within a week of arrival while others flew farther north.

Even the birds who had inhabited certain areas for years, all disappeared the same week at the end of April 2007. 20 to 30 species, disappeared overnight.

Birds did not start laying eggs until 3 months late and even then, abandoned their eggs.

Wildlife such as coyotes & raccoons became disoriented and strayed away from areas they had inhabited for years.

Snakes & frogs are swarming in masses due to the change in weather as are insects, lizards and other species.

All of these are signs that the wildlife are disturbed by the change of the sun's axis angle.

Wildlife are confused and maybe you are as well because without GOD you don't know what direction you are going in right?

I recently told a german girl i know "Schoenen Abend" at the end of the night. Does this mean good night or did I say that incorrectly. I am worried i said "have a good night" wrong and made an idiot out of myself. I thought Gute Nacht was more of something you say before bed. I know "schoenen TAG noch" means have a good day, does this apply to saying good night? was i incorrect or is it okay? i hope she also didn't think i was refering to the weather.
