Hello, all:

I was thinking today about how there is a general perception that Wiccans and other Pagans are put upon by members of other religions, in particular certain types of Christians.

As a result, I was wondering what the worst experience is that you have suffered, or have heard tell of, as a result of being Wiccan/Pagan. Naming no names, of course, if it has to do with another Y!A usr.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond.

that Cain's skin was lightened? Whether you believe in science (we originated from the rift valley in Kenya), or a literal interpretation of the bible (we came from the Garden of Eden, which was by everyone's best guess is b/w the Tigris and Euphrates in Iraq), or a combination of both, we can safely say that Cain and Abel were NOT European. They were most likely very dark-complected.

So if you believe that God's "mark" on Cain was to change his skin tone, wouldn't it be more likely that he was lightened? Wouldn't that make him stand out much more?

(Let me stick a disclaimer on here that I don't believe the "mark" was to change his skin color, and I think it was a detail added by people trying to justify their own prejudices. It seems to be a definite example of Euro-centrism to assume in the first place that Adam & Eve or their kids would be white or light skinned. Just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts!).

We're not trying to convert you. If you believe in God, awesome, but is it so hard to let us believe in the "Big Bang theory"? What happened to freedom of speech and opinion?

Some people invented a god, then they drench my society in a bucket full of that same god, and then wonder why I have a few minor problems with that. Odd.

Anyway, how thankful must I be to be allowed to ask stuff in this section?

Heb 10:26 For IF we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

I've had a recurring dream about a "future husband" but I never can see his face. Three nights ago when I had the dream there was a something covering my face once again so I couldn't see him and he wouldn't let me see, he was really persistent in not letting me see him...any opinions for the fun of it ;)

i went into my local one today and found it absolutely packed to the rafters with books about how to convert mormons/JWs/muslims etc.
i couldn't see any christian books from where i was standing,nor bibles.
just stuff about healing gays and garbage like that.
what happened to all the christian books ?
yeah,i know,most of 'em are rubbish anyway but seeings it's a christian bookshop shouldn't there be a few books about christianity in it ?

first of all...if you're not into 2012 and stuff like that then nevermind!!!

I think I just realized how we are all one in the universe.
I thought about the cycles of the mayan calendar... as actual cycles our galaxy...or outside the whole universe maybe.
Then I thought of how 2012 could be when we (earth, everyone on earth...maybe all of existence) go to one place in the galaxy/universe.
Like a big bang type thing........but backwards.... everything....everything.....goes back to that point. It's like we all go home....and home is everything....the whole universe....as one.
So the point of life then, would be to find our way back home?
I can see it like a daydream when I think about it....it would sneak up outta nowhere
can you even imagine what that would be like?
Could be a new age/enlightenment
Could be death or suffering
Could be anything...

but yea...mayan cycles being actual universe/galazy/whatever cycles and we all get sucked into one...2012!

What do you think?
