    Hey Guys,

    Welcome! I have to say, I am pretty ignorant on Hellenism. What called you to that path?

    Stoneman Douglas Student Fires Back At Ingraham

    Good. :) BS needs to be called out for it's BS. I'm not so sure she would be so thoughtful or apologetic if her pocket book wasn't on the line.

    What Keeps You Awake At Night?

    I'm a night person, so for me there is nothing worse than going to sleep. I fight it like a toddler crying because it's bed time. It's not uncommon for me to get 3-4 hours of sleep before work when I have to wake up early the next morning.

    Does God Have a Problem?

    Did he? Did people have dominion when they were clothed in nakedness and wielding stone tools? They certainly weren't at the top of the food chain in those days. People earned their own dominion when they learned to master the natural world. I do see difficulties in this life, as it should be...

    Does God Have a Problem?

    Meh... My problem is that he reflects so little the nature that he created, and that we are expected to pick him over the other gods that much more closely resemble the natural world we live in (and, honestly, just make more sense in a practical way). What is the point in that? What kind of...

    Concerning sacrifice

    Well, if the examples you use to demonstrate sacrifice involve giving away your horses and chopping off fingers in reverence to the elk people, I suspect what you know might certainly be out of date... Just how old are you, anyways? :D

    A real-life experiment in school church-state separation

    Hmmm... I think it depends on the religious teachings, honestly. If children are being taught the same exact things in a religious schooling environment as they would in a public schooling environment, that definitely puts the children on more of an even playing field. Unfortunately here in the...

    How to be a better person

    I agree... There's a lot to be said for being the better man, but there is a lot to be said for sticking up for one's self as well. If you give people an inch, they will take a mile. o_O

    What's wrong with incest?

    Hmmm... Not my cup of tea, but two consenting adults are responsible for their own lives as long as it isn't hurting anyone. That said, I have to wonder if normalizing incest (socially) would result in more incestuous pregnancies.

    What's wrong with incest?

    Well, for one, children born of an incestuous union are at an increased risk of being born with birth defects. o_O

    These Students will change US gun landscape

    I would agree, though I think mile vs. cartridge seems a bit of a false equivalency to me... Then again, so does comparing a car to a gun, imo. o_O

    These Students will change US gun landscape

    It's true that cars are extremely dangerous, too, which is why states have strict laws and controls in accordance, no? In my state, license renewal (including a drive test) happens every six years. Then there are the issues of car tabs and insurance. Imagine if this were applied to gun owners...

    I came across these guys while looking for a futhorc rune poem on youtube. Very interesting. :D

    Is Cherry-picking Okay?

    I did the same thing with my walk in christianity- I tried denying the things that didn't sit well with me, and just continued to follow the things that resonated. In the end that path didn't work out for me, though. Maybe Islam will work out for you, but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn...

    Hello :)

    Welcome! If you aren't into debate, that isn't all there is, though the debate threads seem to get the most popularity. I find it interesting that your family has it's own path. How was it growing up for you in that path vs. seeing other people's religious practices from the outside? :)

    For those of us who have to hide our beliefs from christian friends, family, and coworkers (or suffer very real world repercussions), they might find your premise a bit hypocritical...

    Is the Bible God's Word?

    Tell that to the people belonging to tribes here who were forced to grow up in christian boarding schools, and were punished whenever they spoke of the spirits, or any other such "pagan" things. Many of their traditions are lost forever because of it, but hey, at least all those reservations are...

    "Christian Right Activists: Homosexuality is Unnatural Because Kids Find It Icky"

    I'm sure if they lived in a home with homosexual parents, they would find it just as normal as if they had grown up in a home with heterosexual parents. Meh.

    How do you cope or deal with pain?

    Well I'm no doctor, so take what I say with a grain of salt. For short term pain, Acetaminophen + Ibuprofen. If it persists, call a doc. For chronic pain, placebos are the most effective for me. Meditation and mantras work great for immediate relief, but I use sigil magick (I know, heh) to...

    ....and It Spins

    Very thoughtful post. Reminds me of ghost shows on TV. People talk about how their doors open and close by themselves in their homes, so it must be a ghost. My brother, who inspects homes, informed me that doors will often open and close depending on pressure differentials in people's homes-...
