    I have successfully produced a surah equal to that found in the Koran

    How? That's not the point. Arabic is from a completely different language family than English. Heck, English didn't even exist when the Qur'an was written, in any form. Fine. I'll play along. Let's compare your work to an English translation. It still fails. I don't know a single word of...

    Pagan God's and Goddesses hate radical -monotheism

    Krishna is just one deity, and a king of a grand city-state called Dwarka on top of that. But he had a thousand wives. What's a playful ever-youthful avatar of Vishnu gonna do? He splits himself into a thousand different Krishnas. Now, the way I see it, each one of those women is different...

    Pagan God's and Goddesses hate radical -monotheism

    But why does that have to be "his maker", with references to completely foreign Lore? Not a single one of the Gods is omnipotent. And there is one entity I can immediately think of who would have that kind of power over him. But this one is not his "maker". ;) Indeed. Do you know the story...

    Canada did WHAT!

    Hey, there was a girl at my high school who could sing it GORGEOUSLY. (And I just hate it in general.)

    Good on them. :)

    Pagan God's and Goddesses hate radical -monotheism

    LOL That's kinda cute. "His maker." You talkin' about Buri? Or maybe Mannus? Whatever. It's your belief, and you're free to hold it.

    Pagan God's and Goddesses hate radical -monotheism

    Is Woden the same entity as the Celtic God Lugus? I mean, they share several traits in common. But that might imply that Woden's original "name" might have been a cognate of the word "Loki", the name of Odin's Blood Brother. But they're two different beings, right? If Woden is frequently...

    I want to believe in God again.

    An informal reminder for those who may have forgotten:

    I have successfully produced a surah equal to that found in the Koran

    If you're going to try taking that challenge, why would you do so with English? It's a completely different language family from Arabic, nevermind a completely different language. The two have nothing to do with each other.

    Pagan God's and Goddesses hate radical -monotheism

    Both Woden and Thunder are pan-Germanic Gods; Odin and Thor are the Anglicization of their Scandinavian names. Incidentally, historically speaking the deity that was probably most important to the pre-Christian Swedes wasn't either Odin or Thor, but their progenitor. That same deity is also our...

    Man,animals and God

    Wouldn't this thread be better suited in the Debates section? The OP seems to be inviting debate.

    Cross-Dressing

    As I understand it, pink used to be a MANLY color, because pink is just light-red, and red means BLOOD, which means WARRIOR which means MAN.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    ...speaking on items, are me and my partner the only ones noticing that Link isn't holding up items found in treasure chests? I hope it's just because the animations aren't done... Oh, I don't deny the spit timeline. I just also have "alternate dimensions" for other games that I feel aren't...

    My Defination of Relgion and Faith

    No, I'm saying I'm not interested in your product. So? My point still stands: I miss out on all that other stuff, anyway. I'm already "missing out" on lots of stuff from this life. That's not a concern of mine. And in any case, I'm even less interested in some "spirituality" where the reason...

    Clinton Opens Up 12 point Lead Over Trump in Bloomberg National Poll

    For a while, it was actually impossible to vote for any canditate who wasn't in the party you sign up with. It's not quite that restrictive anymore, but I had to re-register as No Party Preference so I could vote for Bernie, and even then I had to actually request a presidential ballot at the...

    Pagan God's and Goddesses hate radical -monotheism

    You think this because you don't understand much about Woden. Or that place called Valhalla that his devotees generally seek, which can ONLY be achieved with a death in combat. Daesh is basically giving Woden LOTS of new guests, from among their own ranks and their victims. It is, in fact, also...

    Oh, obviously ignoring them is no good, either. But when you call them evil, you are inherently dehumanizing them. When you forget that everyone committing these atrocities are as human as the rest of us, you run the risk of returning like with like. Besides, a "Common Enemy" is one of the...

    War Gods very well might love Daesh and similar groups. Gives their followers something to do.

    Clinton Opens Up 12 point Lead Over Trump in Bloomberg National Poll

    I'd LOVE to vote based on what I believe in rather than based on arbitrary party affiliation. But because I live in California, that is decidedly quite difficult.
