    Starting a Harry Potter movie marathon and eating an artichoke - all at 11:30pm. Good times.

    Rosary Explanation

    Hello all! I've been making jewelry and crafts for awhile now and decided to make rosaries as well with the holidays coming up. My problem is I have no idea how many beads and want to make sure that I get the significance exactly right. The few online sources that I've found aren't identical so...

    Polgamy - what are your views?

    No prob... I'm glad I was able to clarify! That's not always an easy task on a forum. :)

    Polgamy - what are your views?

    I didn't say I wouldn't recognize it - and if that was implied that isn't what I meant. I was speaking purely in terms of my lifestyle and how my beliefs and values that make up a marriage are incompatible with polygamy. For myself I could not be married to multiple partners or be one of many...

    Polgamy - what are your views?

    What? Of course not. I'm baffled as to why you would even ask this. My standards again have nothing to do with anyone but myself. Because I could never be apart of that sort of family unit doesn't mean it's of any less value to those involved.

    Polgamy - what are your views?

    I don't see what a recognition of their marriage has to do with how I would treat them. Their lifestyles and their choices don't have any affect on my lifestyle and choices that just happen to be different from theirs. They are human beings who are happy and love eachother and are deserving of...

    Polgamy - what are your views?

    Whatever floats your boat...it's none of my business. No way would this lifestyle ever work for me though. I'm jealous and protective and wouldn't want to share my husband with someone else, and I expect it would bring up personal insecurities in myself as well. I see nothing wrong with open...

    New Age vs. Paganism

    Since I know very little about them here are there board descriptions: New Age Overview & Paganism Overview I think the jist of it is (and I'm very ignorant of them for the most part) that New Age is more of a blend of philosophy and mysticism while Paganism incorporates deism or theism...

    Movies You've Seen Recently

    Karate Kid - the new one As someone who hates remakes and is so protective over originals that I love, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. Sure Jaden Smith was trying a little too hard to mimick his dad's comedy and maneurisms, but I think as he matures that his acting will too...

    Is Truth Even Worth Searching For?

    Hmmm, I think you can be satisfied and even happy when you find a truth (subjective to your own perceptions of course) if you go in searching with an open mind and open heart. Give yourself some breathing room and embrace the change and possible errors you might discover along the way. If...

    Lot and His Daughters

    I don't know. If G-d is all-knowing then pressumably there is no need to hope because the outcome of their choices is forseen. Excusable in my book, no :areyoucra - but I'm not G-d.

    Lot and His Daughters

    Not an answer but could it be because of the intent involved in the situation - instead of rape to get your jollies off and feel some sort of power over another (or whatever other malicious reasons are used) the purpose behind it was a naive idea to repopulate the planet... I'm guessing G-d...

    You're a WHAT!?!

    Maybe from certain PoV's, but I think most if not all trinitarian Christians believe themselves to be monotheists, even if other Abrahamic's do not. Now whether or not that matters... :shrug: ETA- And if you're a believer in The One G-d anyway, whether someone accepts or rejects that as...

    Eternal Damnation

    One of the first questions I asked when I left Christianity (and really while I was still apart) was if sin exists and all sins are equal (what I was taught), then how can there be a hell punishing only some when all of humanity would be guilty? And that led to asking if ignorance is a sin...

    You're a WHAT!?!

    No problem, lol - my mind was whirling for a minute trying to figure out how you all switched so much! It's my understanding that you aren't supposed to celebrate holidays or Shabbat in the identical ways as a Jewish person would, so what changes do you make when you celebrate in your own way...

    You're a WHAT!?!

    Ok, I'm confused. And I'm not trying to stir the pot so please don't take this the wrong way - I just need clarification. :) But on page 1 you said: and though you are now of age and moved out, at the time: and from page 2 You left Christianity and have since gone back then and...

    You're a WHAT!?!

    How does your religion work within your Christian family? Do you celebrate holidays with them or hold your own Jewish celebrations or a varying sort? How have you studied Hebrew? Are there Noahide communities available near you or are you limited to the internet? How does conversion...
