Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends. What is your menu for the meal of the day? Similiar to the turkey/stuffing of some US citizens? Although we are such a melting pot turkey is not for everyone any more.

"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"

For me it raises the question:

If democracy is about equality, then why does this quote still ring true?

My own take to answer that?
What we have is not democracy. It is a situation where our countries are run by money. The richer you are, the more say you have and the more rights you have. Is that equality?

I'll make things perfectly clear to start. I'm an Atheistic Wiccan. That means I think the gods are merely concepts, not actual beings, which as we all know is perfectly fine within Wicca as our interpretation of the gods is up to each individual Wiccan. Thats part of the beauty of Wicca.

That being said....

Wicca was created in the 50's/60's by Gerald Gardner. It did not exist before then and its a well known fact among Wiccans. Wicca is based on much older religions, such as Druidism, but that doesn't mean it is that religion. It simply is based on it (and many others).

This means that the terrible things that happened to the followers of those religions did not happen to us. Yes, we are still persecuted, and hated, and many of us will constantly hear the word "fluffy" associated with us.

There's a reason why we hear that word. Its because of this type of behavior claiming that Wiccans have been burned at the stake when we have not.

Now, we HAVE has potshots taken at us with...

ignoring the validity of the following economical statements, which of the statements can use vice versa to bring it from :

"when price goes down, demand goes up, and when prices goes up, demand goes down".
"when price goes down, demand goes up, and when demand goes up, price goes down."

to
"when price goes down, demand goes up, and vice versa."?

ps - ignore the validity of the statements, im just trying to get the grammar correct, no issues about whether the statements hold.

This is probably going 2 sound unbelievable but it was true and althought I've told the story to a few people I've never written it on the Internet. I hope this way more people know about the wonders of God and that He really exists. When I was about 9 years old, on a Christmas eve night, me and my family were leaving my grandma's house for the night. As we were walking down the stairs from her house to go to our car, we looked up to the sky and there was a nativity scene formed in the clouds. It was perfect; Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus in the middle with His arms open and everything; exactly the same way you would see it portrayed in common plastic or clay figurines. Even a mule and an ox were on the sides. It was there for a couple of minutes and then it vanished. It was definitely the MOST amazing thing I've ever seen in my whole life. Bringing this memory back to my mind reassures me He exists, and makes my faith stronger in times of doubt.Has anything like this occurred to anyone?

We're all people and we all have to work together and live together here on earth. So instead of obsessing over trying to change eachother's minds, let's embrace one another and make the time we have here on earth a little more pleasant. There is a time and a place for atheists to try to explain their viewpoint and a time and a place for Christians to evangelize. I know one thing, nobody is going to change someone's mind on yahoo answers.

I want you to seriously think about this. The first knee-jerk reaction I had was that there would be a fewer wars but I doubt that. There'd be a reduction for a while but its Human nature to fight over such things as money, land, oil and beliefs (like democracy or communism). So on a Global scale I think itd be much the same.
Where i think we would suffer is all the humanitarium work that relgions do such as helping the homeless and providing education and those who take religion into their hearts tend to be nicer, happier people more willing to help their fellow man.

So overall I would say we'd be worse off without religion, but that's just my opinion, what's yours?

I got:

Mi hermano, Kason, es estudiar bombero.

My teacher crossed out the "es", and the letter "r" on estudiar. then underneath he wrote "Para Su" (i think that's what it is, I can't read it. it could be Pera, or Peru. The P and R I'm sure of but the first vowel could be an a, u, or o, and the second vowel could be any of those too. i'm pretty sure the second word is su).

so how do i say it? thanks for all help.

it is just a simple few questions so no flaming please, but do you know that lucifer actually means " bearer of light"?, or satan, comes from the hebrew word "shaitan" meaning assassin? last of all, if the devil betrayed god and was cast out, why would sinners be tortured forever? surely the devil would welcome them with beer and nachos?

Every time I plot and carry out revenge, it does nothing to him but comes right back at me, quickly and swiftly. I deserve revenge but am worried now as I plot 1 more. Did I wrong this guy in a previous life and therefore untouchable by me? Is there such a connection?

A's may not follow God, but they don't follow the opposition either.
A True Believer is at risk. He can, and according to the Bible many will, be tricked into thinking he is saved and doings God's work while actually he is followig the AntiChrist or Satan. Right into the lake of Fire never knowing it untill they get there.

Most of the fundies and BACs I know are self righteous, judgmental, arrogant and proud. They are also intolerant of other beliefs. They think that only them are saved. They are also liars. They twist the meaning of scriptures to suit their own agenda. They often quote scritures out of context.

I am a dedicated church goer and believe in Gods word very much. I am just confused about this because I know that God wouldn't want me to be treated this way...I don't think anyway...
I know Hatred is of the Devil but how do you Love someone who treats you this way??

Well I think that virginity is important atleast to me. I always run into the wrong guys and I just made a commitment to the lord and myself that when he sends me the right man to marry then I would loose my virginity. I'm 20 going on 21 soon and sometimes I do feel funny when I tell others because there like you must be the only one left and make alot of jokes. I'm not sure how guys feel about virgins but guys don't stick around when I tell them I'm one. I only had 1 bf and I just want to meet someone who is going to love me and respect me for me. I just want to wait for that special one. What do you think!!!
