    The Pentagram

    I like that. :rainbow1: I think maybe yours is the 10 pointed star as well Twig.

    The Pentagram

    Funny, Kathryn's example actually demonstrates my own meaning for the pentagram beautifully. As above- As below As below- As above I deliberately turn/depict 'stars' both ways, up and down, (and then tip them sideways to boot). This must be the discordian/chaote in me. ;) If I wear one, I...

    Occultism

    Unless, of course, the symbol specifically means (stands for) "Set"* or "set"**. ;) *Egyptian Mythology/Prince of Darkness ** Mathematics

    Why are religious people easily offended?

    I do find it pious folly, when religious people take offense for the sake of their god or prophet. As if their god or prophet can't take care of him/herself. Staunch piety/holiness tends to extend humorless offence to the nature of god/&prophet- as it is the nature of said practitioners. (and...

    History of "Traditional" Marriage.

    By this logic, men should still own their wives as property as well.

    Servants - yes or no?

    Not to mention that these are the VERY (usually) WOMEN who succeed as professional domestic workers specifically because of their excellent management and efficiency in this area. These women can run a highly professional domestic services business during school hours, and still kick butt in...

    Servants - yes or no?

    I might also add that not everyone who lives in a home is good at managing domestic affairs. Domestic management is a skill, and even an art. There is no reason to keep people from making a business of their skills. As well, there is no reason to keep people in need of services from hiring...

    Servants - yes or no?

    What nnmartin does not seem to understand is that domestic housekeeping jobs afford the housekeepers themselves more time with their own children- as they can work part time, primarily during school hours at a pay rate that equals 40 hours at many other full time jobs. That's what happens when...

    Servants - yes or no?

    You can't support yourSelf on $10 an hour FULL time. Certainly not with children, anyway. Maybe on your own I guess, if you live VERY sparsely.

    How did you arrive at your beliefs?

    Finally, there was nothing left to believe in but mySelf. (and as it turned out that that's actually where I had been 'believing' all along)

    The pointlessness of marriage?

    Maybe start by reading post #90 again? So please go into this 'registered partner' thing a bit more.

    Christian Urges: What do you think?

    Purpose'fully making personal USE of an egregore is one thing. Getting 'sucked into it' is another. (a) Reason is one thing. Urges are another.

    The pointlessness of marriage?

    This thread is about YOUR make believe world though, and still you have not answered or even addressed any of my questions. I didn't ask you what libertarians would do. You said YOU wanted to get rid of marriage. I asked YOU some very specific questions, in regards to the ensuing details of YOUR...

    a sad day in NC

    So many americans are little more than an embarassment to humanity. And Huge, proud blocks of them. So proud. The heartless have their wedding cake, and rub what's left in your face after eating it. Like a bunch of pigs.

    We are a twisted and uncompassionate people. I really am not proud to be an american.

    The pointlessness of marriage?

    I'm thinking a court of 'interpersonal law' would possibly make for a more practical approach to interpersonal contract making as regards the personal lives of all members of society. Our "business" partnership models are currently far more open to diversity of partnership possibilities than...

    The pointlessness of marriage?

    What I wanted was an actual answer to my question actually. You want to micro-manage everyone and everything, but then when it comes to the resulting specifics your answer is .... everyone just does whatever they want? Does that mean any old person can make your medical decisions for you...

    The pointlessness of marriage?

    nnmartin, you have not been clear about what kinds of legal options people would have (replacing the ones put in place by legal marriage) regarding things like hospital visitation and medical decisions and joint ownership of lives built in partnership/s.... etc.

    An unoriginal moral dilemma
