    Judaism or Christianity?

    The key question is; "How much do you like bacon?" Therein lies your answer.

    That's why I'm here! You're always welcome to clip the lawn in these parts, mate.

    Would you want a pagan temple?

    Here's one in Denmark, apparently: http://spangenhelm.com/valheim-hof-denmark-dedicated-odin-gods/

    Would you want a pagan temple?

    Well a lot of hofs are exactly that, minus the pool of water. Simple wooden poles marking the boundary of the space, a stone altar, maybe some god poles. Hofs aren't used for much else but the sometimes quite messy sacrifices. The bulk of the time is spend in the associated building (feasting...

    Would you want a pagan temple?

    I think it's deeper than that; they don't want racist groups using it, or other "Asatru" groups that aren't practicing the same way they do, in there. Because there are so many different groups, and they were starting to get quite vocal and pushy trying to tell the Icelandic Asatruars what to...

    Muslims in Italy now calling for polygynous marriage

    I'm not disputing the rates of infidelity among humans. I'm just bringing to your attention the fact that you called the women in your example slu7s, but not the man, when in fact it is the man in your example who is being promiscuous. Do you see the problem? Do you agree that men can also be...

    Muslims in Italy now calling for polygynous marriage

    Simply because I'm a pedant, I'd just like to point out that if he's the one who is cheating, then he is the s1ut. Note for mods: I avoided the filter because his original word also avoided the filter and the post is about that word specifically in a non-confrontational manner.

    Would you want a pagan temple?

    It's be great, but Pagans are such a loose-knit, argumentative bunch that it makes it incredibly difficult to create or operate. They're already having trouble with the templei n Iceland, and may restrict admission to only certain people.

    Bind Rune

    I don't know much about it either. Some say the house wight actually stays with the family and moves when they move, as opposed to the land wights, who stay in situ. You just mentioned that this kind of thing happens when you move, so I thought perhaps the common element was perhaps your house...

    Are you pissing off your house wight every time you move, maybe?

    Seeker-friendly Quotes

    Yes! Mindfulness is at the heart of everything. We can't really "be" unless we cultivate mindfulness of here-and-now or else, where are we? Nowhere.

    Seeker-friendly Quotes

    For Epictetus the key to inner well-being is to align what life give us with what we want or, in his language, align our will with the will of the gods or fate or what life gives us: But I have never been hindered in my will, nor compelled when I did not will. And how is this possible? I have...

    white people to the back, black people to the front

    I wonder what the context of her instruction was. Perhaps there was method to her request. Or perhaps not. I gather none of us were there, and there's really not much to go on from the video. Also, I'm curious, did all the people of mixed heritage go in the middle?

    What if You Loved Someone...Would You Let Them Read Your Mind?

    Even if they could simply read your mind, you still couldn't communicate your feeling of love, because feelings are not thoughts.

    Being a Sikh

    Former Sikh here. I learned about and practiced Sikhi on/off between 2002 and April 2016. There is no getting around it; the turban and uncut hair (all hair) is part of Sikhi. It is only mandatory for fully initiated Sikhs (Sikhs who have taken amrit). For some Sikh groups, you can't be a...

    What should i choose between these religions

    Hello :) As a former Sikh I can tell you you're right, if you follow Sikhi all the way, you can't remove any of your hair at all. If you follow Sikhi in a mainstream, non-initiated way, they you can do what you want with your hairs. I agree with an earlier poster; you do seem to be limiting...
