I went to a service station last week for fill up my gas tank. I got $30.00 worth of gas, had to prepay on my credit card, so when I actually filled up I only needed $27.41 worth of gas to fill my tank. I went inside to get my change, and the clerk SCREAMED at me in front of ther customers:

Cash rules everything around me, CREAM, get the money, dollar dollar bill yall!!!

I was mortified, and just left, and he didn't give me the change.

What did he mean?

Is it okay to honor more than one pantheon?
After reading "Myths and Symbols in Pagan Europe" by H. R. Ellis Davidson, it seemed valid (to me anyway) to honor both Celtic and Norse pantheons - being of primarily Celtic (Irish) and Teutonic cultural extraction.

Is there anywhere in the Eddas, sagas, or any historical records where it states that this is not allowed or is frowned upon? Please cite your sources if possible - Thanks!

What is freedom?

Religion and politics seem to have differing views on what freedom may or may not be.

Take for example freedom of speech, if a country does not have freedom of speech you will be punished for saying something like “this government sucks and Mr dictator is a Idiot” in public.
Of course you were free to say it, your mouth is your own – but you will be severely punished for your actions.
Freedom of speech would then not exist in this country by modern definition (and neither would you, if the penalties were harsh enough).

From a religious point of view though, it seems to work differently.

Free will means you are able to do or say what you want, yet you will be punished accordingly – free will allows me to blaspheme, but I will be pulled up by god if I do so.

Surely that is exactly the same as lack of freedom by legal standards – you can, but you will be punished.

Have I missed something out here, is freedom and free will totally different?

I'm not targeting Christans to answer this, but people who study the Christian stories. No offence, but those "Christians" that call themselves such because they listen to a preacher lecture them once, maybe twice, a week don't really know much about the religion's hows - simply the whats.

Here's one story I've heard -

Adam and Eve created original sin. They, and all their offspring, went to Christian hell upon death (except for a few men that were taken directly to heaven). It didn't matter how well they lived, they went to hell due to the original sin. Jesus, being a man, went to hell as well - he was ment to suffer as a man after all. But, becuase he was "God", he was able to open the gates of hell to release all the souls there to be able to go to heaven. This is, supposeily, what Jesus did durning those three days.

What is your opinion of this?

... it becomes the Word of God when it moves us to serve others. Otherwise, it is merely printing on paper.

--The so-called "white tree" at Jena High, often reported to be the domain of only white students, was nothing of the sort, according to teachers and administrators; students of ALL races, they say, congregated under it at one time or another.
--Two nooses, not three, were found dangling from the tree. Beyond being offensive to blacks, the nooses were cut down because black and white students "were playing with them, pulling on them, swinging from them, and putting their heads through them," according to a BLACK teacher who witnessed the scene.
--The three youths accused of hanging the nooses were NOT suspended for three days -- they were isolated at an alternative school for about a month, and then given two weeks probation.

We don't control the forces of the winds, the moon in relation to the current of the water, nor do we control the when it will be night or day. Truly we have no dominance no control of the forces that move us and that we are subjugated to as Navigators of the vast sea of life. These laws/forces have precedence over us, but this does not relive us of acquiring and applying what we can to maximize our journey and ensure our reaching of our destinations. We must tend to our OWN SHIP! Make sure it is thoroughly prepared for the long journey, make sure the crew in our "ship" works in harmony as to maintain our course and not go off course. Sure difficulty will come, it is expected on the high seas, however a true Cosmic Navigator has perfected awareness through observation and the many travels he has had before, knowing the old ways from the new, acquiring the ancient knowledge of reading the skies, the moon, the currents, the sun, the birds of skies, yes he can read the forces...

Do you find yourself constantly seeking approval from the outside world? Do you create a persona that is different from the real you that you use in social situations? Are you always fishing for compliments? Why do you not love yourself enough to be content with your self approval. Do you know why you seek it from others?

Would birds suddenly appear whenever I heard Richard Dawkin's sweet voice?
Would life become colorful, vibrant, bright and full of hope?
Would I find a reason for living?
Would I be more willing to love monkeys? (I hate them now.)
Would I become more forgiving, less judgemental? Less angry? Less bitter?
What's so great about being and atheist? Is it truly so much better on the other side of the fence?
And don't tell me, "Oh we're free from delusion."
Someone's delusion is another person's reality. How does being an atheist make you better as a human being? How does does it make you so "right" and and everyone else so wrong? Why are you angry when people flaunt their religiosity, and yet you flaunt your godlessness?
