To my Wiccan friends (and those who I don't know yet)
Please explain to me what it means to cast spells. Do Wiccans believe they can curse someone.
Do you believe in good and bad spirits?

Thanks in advance.
Know this is only for purpose of understanding

I can think of a few examples:

Baptists with the deep south
LSD with Utah
Catholics with Rome
Muslims with the Middle East

I'm sure there's more.

How do you feel about this confusion? Does it come from people within and without your church? If you would like to clarify any differences between the doctrines of your religion and the culture of that place now's your chance (serious, funny, whatever).

Thanks

does not USA celebrate every year when it was freed from UK kingdom?

and makes films,stories, and cartoons about the independence day and such things.

that is the same situation now in the middle east........USA occupies Iraq on land, and other countries by money and thoughts. do not forget the bad neighbour, israel, who no one wants it.

can u imagine how arabs feel?

and while usa wants to spread its democracy....we see that democracy as nonsense, and usa wants oil and power only.

we are Muslims......we see islam as the only religion....we are not stupid believers...we are deeply convinced and are proud of our past islamic glories...we are waiting only for chance that islam rules will be applied in all muslim countries....and the welfare will cover at that time all muslim countries.......

Democracy? nothing compared to our Islam.....Only Allah's- all people's only god- religion......So,

When u see terrorsist....do not be so angry....... u are the reason!!!!!!!!!

So every once in awhile I go and read the Dear Margo column and came across this;
http://news.yahoo.com/s/dear_margo/20061019/en_dm/margo_howard20061019

Made me think. I am in a relationship with a Christian guy, now for 4.5 years. Who else is in a relationship with someone who has different beliefs? We avoid all religious talk like the plague cause when it is discussed, we end up fighting about it.

I have no regrets about being in a relationship with someone who has different beliefs. One of the things that that was mentioned in the article has been brought up in my relationship; they hope that I will eventually convert. I don’t see that happening. And chances are we will have to split up because of that. (THAT is a whole other story and one more “X” I have against religion – since I won’t convert then we can’t be together despite the loving each other, loyalty, being great together etc)

Anyone else out there had religion pushing its way into their relationship?

In Scotland, Christians are made to wear these little blue hats to show they belong to the Christian cult. Should this law be banned?

There is a Bible verse that tells us not to be unequally yoked or date or marry someone who is "not of the household of the faith". Is this specifically and exclusively referring to someone who is a Born-again Christian? Can you back up your claim with some form of proof? Thanks!

Is it appropriate to give a gift to the baby? I heard that godparents are expected to buy the baptism, but heard from someone else that this isn't the case. I am very unfamilliar with the rituals and customs of the church. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Anyone heard about this book? Written by former Bush aide David Kuo, came out earlier this week. Here's an article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15269146/site/newsweek/ and here's an excerpt from said article:

"The book faults Bush for failing to deliver on his promises for the faith-based program and depicts a White House that publicly embraced conservative religious leaders with "hugs and smiles" but privately mocked them as "nuts," "ridiculous" and "out of control." Kuo, who served as deputy director of the White House office on faith-based initiatives for two and a half years, also writes that Bush political director Ken Mehlman issued "marching orders" to use the faith-based initiative to rally conservative voters in battleground states."

Any opinions on this? Any thoughts?

I fed a 5 year old guinee pig rat poison. The kids didn't care about this pet nor did they take care of it. My wife hated cleaning the cage and I tired of the job. Problem is my wife figured out the pig was poisoned. I also now realize I commited a misdeameanor and caused the animal a painful death. I can't confess to her or my kids because it would break their heart. I'm sick that I did this. This is not who I am as a person. It was very, very stupid. I even thought of myself as an animal lover. Help...I can't sleep and am sick with guilt.

Did you know that according to science (go do your own studies) you cannot carbon date anything older that 40 000 years. So how do sites like "talkorigenblablabla" say they have carbon dated things to be millions of years old. See, these are the things that bothers me about evolution. I have search the internet till I got blue in my face, but have not come up with any evidence. They ALWAYS use assumptions in their reasoning and theories. So please, any scientists here that can help me with a good website or book or something (without using assumption) that can give me more correct info on evolution, from the big blang to how I got here, typing on my keyboard, wondering if evolution isnt a lie from satan

Okay, I’m tired oh the stereotypes on Islam. I am hoping that a good member of the Muslim community might explain what there religion is really about, rather then what extremists shout on T.V.

P.S. No one say anything rude, every religion has its nut jobs who make us all look like fools.

Just asking because the radio here just played the Princess Diana version of 'Candle in the Wind' and I suppose that'd be a prime contender. That and that 'You're beautiful' song.

What do you think?
