don't tell me it's about having faith. having faith is different from having an inherent curiosity to further your knowledge about what you choose to believe. some people take things at face value and don't bother to explore what it is they claim to follow. or is it just that these people are lacking in both curiosity and intelligence?

I am/was involved with my second year of confirmation class getting ready to make my confirmation this may. All of a sudden I felt like i couldn't do it anymore. That a part of me didn't want to do it anymore. I know the exact moment I felt it too. When I was told that I needed to stop caring about just myself and stop thinking about myelf when I needed to get picked up kind of far away from home to go to confirmation class. I just know that at that moment I felt like I didn't evn want to make my confirmation anymore and I don't want to go back to class. I feel so stupid to give up now but I don't know if I could truly go through with this and go into it without an open mind and an open heart.

Im not christian for a whole host of reasons, but one of them is evolution. People will say that evolution is a natural process that can be used by god, but if that's the case then why has evolution produced other animals with cognitive abilities comparative to humans ? The bible clearly states that we are held in higher regard than the animals, and that we are made in his image. One of those ways is our emotions, but why then do other animals share those emotions too ?

Most pagan religions don't even believe in the Christian concept of ultimate evil.... Satan... and as a Wiccan, we're encouraged to believe and think what we're comfortable believing and thinking... not what someone else believes and thinks to be true.

What I mean is that we cant be selfish enough to believe that God only created this planet only , with all that space out there then there has bound to be other planets with human life like ours. Do you think they have the same types of religious beliefs people here on earth follow and the same bible?

it seems to me once you enter heaven that you have no choice but to worship god, plus what of pain and sorrow for those that dont enter heaven ? Are those feelings ignored or non-existent ? That doesnt seem right to me

time and time again i have seen people say that witchcraft spells/rituals are a joke and obviously don't work, but on reading their questions, these same people swear that they've seen god's work and believe miracles are real. so why is one a joke but not the other?

If we accept the theory that the universe if finite and that the big bang theory is correct then this opens a new door into the existence of parallel universes and multiple dimensions. I would like to share with you a most interesting inspiration.--- Before our creation- In a dimension some where in the space time continuum a universe exists that is home for singularity. Where individual entities live that are all equally omnipotent, powerful, and all knowing. Each entity contains all things; good, evil, life, death, joy, and sadness. Each entity contains the makings of an equally impressive universe such as our own.

These entities are called Ods. Ods have existed, as far as I could tell forever. They have always been and shall always be. Much like the one God that many people worship today. The big difference is they exist for the most part in the same universal dimension at the same time excepting the one that I am going to concern myself with here.

Miod simply put is the creator of our universe. He is the reason we live and breath, the reason the millions of stars in the galaxies share their light with us. Miod is the grains of sand in the ocean, the ocean itself and everything that lives within it. He is the living creatures on the earth and the earth beneath their feet. Miod is the radiation from a distant star and the source from which it comes. Miod is the spirit and soul of every living creature. Miod is our universe.

Miod once resided in the same dimension as other Ods but one day chose to leave. Being all knowing and omnipotent he knew he could transport himself to another place just to past away an infiniday (one infinity time measure) in a place he had not been.


Miod disappeared one infiniday from the land of Ods by passing though a portal (a wormhole) into a new dimension (ours) which was
void of anything. A great vacuum was all that existed here before his arrival. The instant Miod appeared into the great void he exploded (the Big Bang) from the great forces exerted upon his singular form. He knew that this would happen but what better way to spend one fine infiniday in a timeless infinity. Thus, the Genesis begins: And Miod said, “Let there be light…..and there was light, formed of superheated plasma reaching temperatures of billions of degrees Kelvin racing outward from it’s singular beginning to start the journey toward today. Miod saw that the light was good and so ended the first infiniday of our universe.

As the plasma cooled in the vacuum of our universe baryons became matter and matter began to join and so the stars and planets and all heavenly bodies were formed. Miod was pleased to see his form, he could look upon himself far away and see that all things were him. So ended the second infiniday.

On the third day Miod saw that the heavenly bodies that were good for life were set apart, and that life had been encouraged by seeding them with the properties that are required. Comets carried the basics of life to planets suited to sustain it by the random forces that had created them. And in this way the seeds of life came to be on our planet. The third infiniday is done.

Miod is patient for he is everything and time means nothing to him. With his spirit and body flung across the heavens he still knows what is going to be. With this in mind he patiently waits to see his life forces mold into being on our planet and in only a few million earth years of primordial ooze he is rewarded with the first signs of life. And Miod is pleased. So ends the forth infiniday.

As the fifth infiniday begins Miod sees that life is growing and diversifying and that each is a little part of him. Different many times from each other but still a oneness with him, for he is all things. Each living thing possessing a part of Miod that cannot be replicated except that which was meant to be. On this day Miod is pleased for he could now see life.

Many years pass for life on earth life evolves, dies and evolves again. And then one day Miod sees a life form that is talking spiritual feeling and this makes him proud for he is spirit as well as matter. The life that calls itself human is talking spirits and souls and soon it talks of eternity with god in heaven. Now Miod knows he is this god for he is all things but just laughs at the tiny pieces of him that fail to realize that they are but mere pieces of the whole.

He sees the struggles and pain, the love and sadness the good and evil that man tries to divide into categories of good and bad knowing all along that these things must exist for they are all part of him. Just as the light exists so shall the good, just as the darkness so shall the bad, this is what Miod says.

Now in the midst of the fifth infiniday, we live here on a tiny lonely rock in the universe of the body and soul of Miod trying to
decide that which has already been decided. Desperately trying to understand why we exist and what the meaning of that existence is. Apparently, all for the amusement of a most likely bored Od.

From these few passages you can begin to see that a certain amount of faith is required to believe how Miod came to be in our universe but there the requirement ends. Miod wants us to believe in ourselves and in things that are tangible. Science is the primary tangible object that is within our reach and science is going to show us the way to fulfillment.

We each being a small part of Miod lends us toward a desire to understand the whole and to satisfy that desire we must seek by every route possible the answers to each question that may arise. This is man’s destiny for Miod knew how inquisitive man was to be.

We here on this small planet revolving around a small star are only beginning to understand the marvels of the body of Miod. At long last we are starting to see into the tiniest parts of ourselves and
into the vastness of the universe in which we exist.

Scientists at long last are unraveling the mysteries of the genetic code that permeate organic life. By doing so Miod knows that man will be, perchance, benefactor to a more enriched and healthy existence and Miod feels compassion for the small ones that exist so briefly. Each advancement made is yet another step toward his new destiny.

Man has learned he can look into the vastness of the body of Miod with powerful telescopes and radio frequencies. Miod is pleased for he too is peering about watching the bits and pieces of what was, transform and shift about randomly searching for their way to their inevitable destiny, the whole.


Each revolution of the earth around it’s feeble source of heat and light and each cycle of light and darkness brings the mind of man closer to the source of his creation. But it is through the efforts of man that this is possible not by the mere changing of light to dark or dark to light.

In reality each of us is part of Miod and in each of us lies the makings of a god. Mind you not the entirety of a god, but the smallest integral makings of a god just as the most distant galaxy you can phantom also has the properties of Miod so has man. The honor of that title can be claimed by no other but Miod.

Miod often laughs at the many attempts and concoctions that man has made to explain his meager existence through religious belief and rights. They are most often poor attempts at best and always conflict with previous ones. But, this is how things are when the knowledge is so limited. Man’s knowledge is nothing if not limited for we cannot access the far reaches of the body and mind of Miod. We have barely even scratched the surface of that we can access.

If man chooses to see the greatness of Miod he is granted this ability with a limitation; intelligence. Man can choose to argue and war among himself for the right to sole possession of the answer to eternity though prophets and gods and be his own demise or he can apply himself to understanding the science behind his existence. To Miod it is of little consequence but for man it may well determine his longevity on this tiny rock.

Therefore, we see that Miod is a singularity of science, knowledge and understanding. Though knowledge we can come to know Miod and the reasons we exist. Faith in any other form of salvation is unfortunately pure folly.

In order to better understand the purpose and meaning of the creator, Miod, and to enhance and improve the existence of carbon based life
forms (subdivisions of the creator) the scientific method of discovery will be applied with diligence. With each advancement a more clear picture of the creator will become apparent even though more questions may arise. These problems will be approached
in the same manner as the ones preceding them, scientifically.

Earlier religious and belief systems will be categorically rejected as invalid. Scientific method will replace the pagan belief systems of Christian, Islamic and Judaic faiths as well as the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. No alternate beliefs of any sort are to be allowed as they may interfere with the advancement of science. With these doctrines in place Miod will be pleased and earth may have a future after all.

One world. One truth. One destiny.
