    UU, Atheism, and "Church?"

    I've attended several UU fellowships over the past few years due to moving (we try all the ones in an area out), and it has been my experience that UU is very congregational. I have been to UUFs that emphasize the Christian aspect, those that emphasize the secular humanist view, those that...

    The word "Pagan"

    I'm sort of a fan of trying to flesh out a checklist and approaching the whole thing from the viewpoint that (big-P) Paganism is a polythetic definition (meaning that there are many shared characteristics, but they are not necessarily *all* shared).

    Does Wicca Believe in Circumcision

    I started out my path as Wiccan (first as the solo-eclectic type and then with a coven when I thought that might be more my style)...and AFAIK, no.

    Suffering

    Suffering exists because survival is not certain and does not come without a cost. You have to eat to live (both physically/literally and spiritually/metaphorically), and everyone can't be a fruitatarian at the table of the world. Nature is red in tooth and claw, and (like it or not) humanity...

    Worshipping/Revering Gods/Goddesses from different pantheons

    I think that it depends on how you view the gods. If you see the gods as actual begins with distinct personalities that are likely to clash or have their own opinion about what you do, how you do it, and who they share their space with...then it might matter to them. But...I've been at this...

    re-salutations are in order...

    I can't really say that I'm "new", but I didn't really stick around and post (I *think* work blocked most religious sites around that time, and then I lost track (and links) to most of the forums I was interested in)...so some introductions are in order. I'm Unitarian Universalist...

    Goddess of the Ocean

    Well...there is Sedna (Inuit), Thalassa (Greek), La Sirene (Voudoun), Yemaya (Yoruba), Tethys (Greek), Amphitrite (Greek), Oceanids--the sea nymphs (Greek), Vete-ema/Ved-ava (Finnish), Asherah (Semitic)... The only ones that I have more than a passing familiarity with are Sedna, Thalassa, and...

    The most ANNOYING misconception about YOUR faith?

    Build your own Bible!

    so, I do have my own bible... not that I call it that... and it is definately non-authoritative, though I would like to think it has some good guidelines...it is also reflective and inspirational and filled with poems, quotes, stories, spiritually releveant information, and a complete copy...
