When will Santa be appropriated into the Homeland Security apparatus? Think about it - he sees you when you're sleeping; he knows when you're awake. Is there a Constitutional provision that would deny Bush access to Santa's infrastructure?

Are people who don't believe in Santa (like Jewish people) immune from Santa's spying ability?

My fiance and I have been together for over a year and recently became engaged. Lately, all we've been doing is fighting every other day. I don't know what my problem is. He's really a great guy and hasn't done anything to me. Yesterday, one of our arguments became public. I became so upset that I started slapping him in the street and calling him all kinds of names. He never so much as raised his hand to defend himself from me. He just turned around and walked away.

I am really ashamed about the way I treated him and amazed that he still wants to be with me. But I'm really afraid of my temper and that one day, things might get completely out of control. How can I become a wife, much less a mother, with a temper like this?

I need help (I have no health insurance). I don't want to end up pushing my fiance away. I'm totally distraught about everything. I've been praying about it for a while now but it seems as though nothing's changing.

Can someone please offer some advice???

What makes you a living being? Is it the blood, the heart ,the brain,or all the above? so if you believe in evolution the first life would have to spontanously have all of the above to continue living?

READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE YOU RESPOND.

One of the commandments says "You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

So doesn't this mean that pretty much everybody who ever made a play-dough sculpture in Kindergarten of an animal has broke a commandment? Every artist in the world is going to Hell? Don't sculptures of the Virgin, the Saints, and Jesus also defy this?

I know, you're defense will be "it's only bad if you then worship it" but it does NOT say that. That part comes AFTER, it simply says not to do it at all. Look the scripture up before you comment if you don't believe me.

I'm just curious what Christians have to say about this.

God or the Devil? Why and what sort of things would you use your powers for?

For those who don't believe, pretend for a minute.

he's 17 and dating another guy friend of mine but he says acts and does some unusual things! for example, when I asked him if he was wiccan he told me that he was 1/8 demon. thought humans were less than him and could teach me how to be more than wicca. he told me his grandfather and great grandfather were the same person.
he insists he was in a foster home for 6 months because his father was abusing him and he killed his father. he lives with his grandmother and has paid rent since he was 15. he works and does not go to school. he is part Japaneese but lives in the states. he calls my friends mom "mommy". his mother is in jail. he does not sleep at all during a full moon. he spends all his time alone.
I'm probably missing some.
Please, ne christions or people insisting everything is evil and he is posesed. only intelligent answers, thank you!

I'm an athiest and I celebrate christmas...Not as a religious holiday but I approve of it as a holiday because people tend to give to the less fortunate. It opens people's eyes to doing good. Most people never even mention God, Jesus, or religion for christmas. It's just called the season of giving and that's the reason I celebrate...Anyone else out there that celebrates?

Can somone please explain to me how some people say religion is crap and are not a Christian and everything, but say they are followers of God an dJesus Christ...it's never quite maked sense to me as a Christian. One guy where I live works with a Christian church, and with the youth and bringing them out. He speaks about God and everything. But yet, he says religion is crap, I don't believe in religion, it's fake, etc.

Is there a way to explain?

God placed us all in this horrible existence of madness and illogical logic. Like clockwork, we all follow the same path to nowhere.

I wonder if we really are in existence and am longing for death to take me to a new place, perhaps a land which isn't so hollow and vain.

Everything has a contradiction, even contradictions have contradictions, I don't understand how they don't cancel each other out.

Life+Death=Zero=Nothingness

Yet, here we are in the land of nothingness, with our make-believe lives and make-believe crowns and kingdoms of sand and stone.

Will you wake me up when it's over?

I know christmas is about Jesus' birthday., but where did 'Santa Clause' come from? I mean really? We are supposed to celebrate christmas because thats when the lord Jesus was born, and instead its about some guy dressed up in red going around giving presents to all the good little boys and girls of the world. Where did Santa Clause come from?!

With the war on terror underway in the middle east and the movement in the USA to remove any religious symbol from public view and from any holiday season. They're even trying the remove the word "Christmas" from Christmas Day because it refers to Jesus Christ. I even heard that in some places they want to remove Jewish symbols. Isn't this a war on religion itself? How many religions will they go after?

I would like to hear stories from people that have done radical things (socialy, financialy, spiritualy, or otherwise) to change there own lives.
Please state your personal goal... and the vehicle that you used in an atempt to manifest it.
Even if it did not produce the desired effect!

Would you do it again???

in a religious ceremony other than Wiccan, have you considered getting remarried in the tradition you now embrace? I am doing so, and I am using "Handfasting and Wedding Rituals" by Raven Kaldera & Tannin Schwartzstein to put together a beautiful ritual. They have great ideas! Any other ideas on where to find some pre-written rituals I could modify to suit us? (We are both followers of a tradition of Wicca/Witchcraft.) Blessed Yule!

We Shall Be Free
Written by: Garth Brooks, Stephanie Davis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST APPEARED ON

ALSO APPEARES ON





This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith

We shall be free
