I am currently reading Scott Cunninghams book called Wicca: A guide for the solo practitioner and so far I am finding it a fascinating read. In the book pretty early on he says something along the lines of "Do as you will as long as it harms none, incuding yourself!" He doesnt quite word it that way in the book but it's words to that effect.

So by saying do no harm to yourself, does going out and getting drunk a few nights a week, smoking ciggerettes or wacky backy or other forms of “recreational drug” (not that I do other drugs but I do enjoy a good joint lol) count as “self harm”?

Please could somebody clarify this for me?

Many thanks!

What differences, if any, do you find in the following scenerio...A candidate is elected by his contituents to represent them in the government. If the people of Honeywell country have a vested interest in beekeeping, is there some thing wrong with them electing a candidate who keeps bees? He understands their concerns and can accurately and empathetically represent their concerns to congress. There is nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. If you agree, then for these purposes, what is the difference between beekeeping and religion?

"Police in southern India are hunting for two men who attacked a Hindu holy man, cut off his right leg and then made off with it.

The 80-year-old holy man, Yanadi Kondaiah, claimed to have healing powers in the leg."

Here's the story on the BBC website:

Difficult to know what to say, isn't it? Although frankly, it's really only a blip on the graph of religious violence.

I'm just wondering how it's determined which parts of the bible are still to be respected, and which parts are considered outmoded and no longer relevant? Is this decision made by people, or is God doing the editing? And while I'm asking questions, I'd also kind of like to know why it is that every time I question the validity of every single word in the bible, I'll easily get a dozen christians responding with a resounding "YES", but as soon as someone points out a particular point in the bible that seems especially ridiculous or barbaric in this day and age, the Christians are the first ones to point out that the particular passage being discussed is "no longer relevant"? Who gets to choose which parts of the bible are relevant and which ones aren't?

and the greatest is Love.
Love covers the multitude of sins..
Is there anything you need to forgive or have forgiven?
do you think there is something that Love can't cover?
Adultery,abuse, abandonment by spouse?
A good first step is to forgive ourselves. And watch a weight be lifted off your shoulders

Many people of faith claim that there is, but they seem to have pulled this information from thin air and keep repeating it over and over.

For what reasons would you say it is a great or not so great country. Ranging from, say, living standards, politics, constitutional matters (how democratic is it really?), economy, and social areas, or anything else.

the bible goes to lengths to prove Jesus of Nazareth as the true messiah by tracing his geneology back from King David all the way up to Joseph.
But surely Jesus is supposed to be the son of God and was born of immaculate conception and not of Joseph?
Am I alone in spotting this as yet another glaring error in the suposedly flawless word of God?

How many here have been Christian and becaome Pagan and vice-versa and why?

I was a Christian myself, many years ago, and found it never fitted or should I say, 'I' never fitted...The round peg in a square whole thing.

I've described it as like a pair of shoes. Chrsitianity never fitted right, always felt uncomfortable...Where as Paganism is like a pair of lovely old slippers :D

Anyone else?
