Ok, it takes a sperm and an egg to make a fetus. Does God have sperm? And he somehow transported it into Mary? Or was Jesus somehow born from an unfertilized egg, meaning that he was just a clone of Mary?

On Friday, a coworker, who is a jehovah's witness, began putting a group of us down for celebrating Christmas, she was making some really insulting comments, telling us we don't know the "truth" and badgering us for our beliefs(she's done this many times) everyone was getting mad , so I said "if you feel that strongly about it, give your Christmas bonus back to the boss". She said if we get it, she should too. I asked "why, if you don't believe in Christmas and don't celebrate it and its so wrong, then you are a hypocrite to accept the bonus, and as a matter of fact, you are a hypocrite to accept our holiday pay since you don't celebrate our holidays". She said if we get those perks, she should too, and that she shouldn't be singled out or penalized for her beliefs, So I said its like a vegetarian accepting meat, even though they don't eat it, even though they don't agree with it, taking it simply because everyone else got some. Should I have just shut up and let her put us down?

I'm a soft-spoken, quiet, shy person. At work during lunch sometimes I won't know what to say or will just be in my own world and I tend to fiddle with things like the top of my water bottle - just twirling it in a circle and stuff. Not sure if it's nervous energy or what, but it's just calming to me. Anyway, as I was fiddling with my water bottle one day, I realized a coworker of mine was just watching me and started smiling. What do you think caused her to smile while watching me?

I answered with this question when I thought someone asked this question, turns out she asked plans for New Years eve:

I've a 4 year old to "try" to get to bed by 2100. Then I have to finish wrapping his last minute gifts and get them quietly placed under the tree. He wakes up very early these days asking me if Santa came yet. This year is his first year impatiently waiting for Santa to arrive so it is very exciting. Can't wait to see his face in the morning. I'm also going to place a few christmas lights up inside the house. Having a child changes everything. I'm excited for him.

What are your plans for Christmas Eve?

The world is so big and full of so many different things, people, and experiences.

Yet, you only have a miserably short lifetime to absorb everything you can. And the things you do absorb... it's not even a fraction compared to the whole.

It's almost as if your in this dark gloomy cave and suddenly someone flashes a bright light so you can savor a few precious moments of light and see your surroundings. Then as suddenly as it came, the light goes out, leaving you in the darkness once more.

As a Satanist I can tell you that sacrifice comes from within the magician, blood, sweat, emotion, tears. These things are what constitute sacrifice. The pain of an innocent creature is for posers and those that think the christian way. What do you other religions believe makes a sacrafice?
Speaking in ritualistic terms of course.
What do crispies really believe and why?
What about other religions?
Why do Christians believe that satanists would harm an innocent being for their own purposes?
Pagans, islamic religions, hindus, what do you do?

I have to admit that i come from a wealthier family, but I'm not stuck up at all, because we havn't always been wealthy. I mean i do all the typical stuck up things, ie tennis, golf memberships, piano, country club, fashion, more then one house. However I'm extemely humble, but ppl never get to know me for me, they just see the money, and stuff. I don't like hanging out with rich ppl because they're exactly what I hate: stuck up. What can I do to make people see me for me, and not my money. Even my friends take advantage of me, and make me pay for stuff, and then they oh she can cus she's rich, and I'm just like huh??

Is masturbation a sin for a girl? I know in the Bible it says how 'Onan spilled his seed on the ground' and the Lord slew him of something to that effect, but what about for a girl? Or does it go for both? It also says in the Bible that if your desires of the flesh take place over God, then that's a sin not because you're masturbating but becasue your worshipping something above God, and that's against one of the Ten Commandments. But what if you don't allow it to take place over God?
I also heard somewhere that if you're married, it's a sin to masturbate unless you're thinking only of your spouse. And what part of masterbation is defined as the sinful part? The act of thinking of something lustful? What if you don't have to think of anything lustful to reach a climax? Or is the climax the sinful part? And if that's so, then what do you do when you accidentally reach climax when you're sleeping? There isn't much control over that.

I'm trying to get pregnant and after 9 months it makes sense to do a fertility spell (I am a witch, after all!)
I know that The Sun, The, Empress, and The 10 of Cups are good ones to include in a fertility spell....but, which Ace is best? I definitely want to use an Ace, but can't decide which one....Cups?
Thanks for your help....

Blessed be,

I believe that most people would agree the Jesus was not born on the 25th of December. If you are a Christian, why do you celebrate Jesus' birthday on the 25th even though you know that he was not born on that day? Secondly, why do pastors continue to teach Christmas sermons during Christmas time, when they too know it was the wrong date?

Has anyone here chose to be alone all their lives with their disability--meaning never to marry someone? And if you choose to be alone and unmarried is it due to your disability?
Do you tell others?

I have arthritis, depression with it, and bad nerves, and cannot have children due to many problems, so as a result will not marry, but many people find it odd as I seem in good health, pretty (they say so) and they say I am nice and kind and should find a mate, but my decision is no.
