    Question For The Group

    The republican party in Texas where I live are carefully working to restrict voters in the state that might support democrats. They are working intentionally on changing districts to favor republicans. Restricting voters is of course a very democratic idea which is why democrats are not...

    Question For The Group

    Thank the goddess you said this. I was worried that I was the only one who thought this was incorrect.

    Question For The Group

    Why would you ask this when both avoid to answer questions with any detail. Trump says things all of the time which the republicans have to reinterpret into a completely different statement. Trump as a populist candidate emphasizes image rather than meaning and he does not give any meaningful...

    RF Kennedy Jr. suspends campaign and endorses Trump.

    I wonder about his position on environment and trump. They should be at extremes here so I no longer understand what Kennedy is doing. Trump called him and extremist also in the past but that is before Trump though about how Kennedy would support is election. I doubt Trump cares for him at all.

    What is the Left (politically)?

    In theory rather than current social and media discourse the difference has primarily in relationship to society is the most important on the left vs the individual as most important which is on the right. Thus social services vs self reliance. Environment protection vs profit for the individual...

    Christians' destructive rage against Paganism

    It is a common theme throughout pagan religions. The idea of the sacrificing for something better is also common. The goddess Boann enters into the well of wisdom is torn apart only to become something greater that sustained people the Boyne River. Ymir is torn to pieces and his sacrificed body...

    Open Religious Debate

    1. I experience the deities daily in different ways and they do not require proof they are their to experience to someone who wants to experience them. 2. There are no scriptures for all wisdom an knowledge comes from the natural world. Any attempt to write down this wisdom will always fail to...

    Harris Called Out For Being A Communist

    He is not it the conceptual idea of communism as Marx suggested but the current political use of the word as nothing to do with the original meaning of the word. Most communist countries do not share everything equally nor have equality of status of common ownership or control. The term is to...

    The Long, Strange History of the Word ‘Weird’

    The word weird comes from the word wyrd which is a part of my religion. Wyrd is an old English word for the weaving of all the complex interactions of the world by the 3 Norns. Their weaving is similar to the Moirai of the Greeks which in English is translated to the three fates. The weaving...

    What is the Nature of Life?

    I disagree. It is all about interacting with the environment which is a creative process and with increasing complexity favors both curiosity and play. And play is not just about a sandbox which my cat only sees as a metabolic tool, it is a very creative process and product of evolution. Of...

    The Ancient Bible.

    I totally agree with you. If I go out and sit under the oak tree planted by a squirrel 8 years ago, I find peace. When the raccoons visit at night they remind me of how connected we are. When I see the hawks soar overhead I no longer feel confused. There is no written text in the world that has...

    Do humans have a religious instinct?

    Here is your problem with what you present. More recent anthropological studies of indigenous societies who have been least converted to the major religions do show a worship of superhuman power or specific gods but a need to come into relationship with the land, spirits, and other numinous...

    Do humans have a religious instinct?

    Can you clarify what exactly you mean by a religious instinct. What are the behaviors you are referring to in the word religious. It is difficult to answer to this question without this clarification. Thanks
