    Books about religion.

    Regarding the OP: I second Sunstone on Joseph Campbell. Pagans have a reputation for not being literary, and also not giving thought to traditional concepts of morality. This is somewhat deserved, perhaps, but we do have some good books. One of my favorites is Emma Restall Orr's 'Living...

    do you believe in past lives?

    Yes! When I'm allowed to give out more frubals, the first is yours. :yes: The whole post was beautifully put; I quoted this part because: 1. I too have memories of mostly what we would describe in modern Western culture as lower- or middle-class past lives. Very rarely do I recall being in a...

    Why are US laws unfair towards men when it comes to parenting?

    Some things depend on the state in question. Get ready for a hugely personal example: I have a deeply painful situation right now pertaining to this issue; I relocated to the West Coast from Pennsylvania in March because of an excellent job offer (to my husband) and the unique educational...

    do you believe in past lives?

    Yes, to the OP. UV brought up some excellent questions, and I really appreciated the answers given as well; love the metaphor of the gold bangle, atanu. :yes: Reincarnation is a pretty essential component of my brand of druidism; we see all life as a vast spiral, originating in Annwn...

    Are We Real?

    YES! And therefore we Druids say, DRINK MORE MEAD! :p

    What are you doing?

    This is what I was doing earlier today: My seedgroup had our solstice celebration in a redwood grove. :cloud9:

    Are We Real?

    Well, I think that since basic subatomic theory tells us everything is composed of mostly empty space, reality is a sketchy concept to begin with. :sarcastic So the context is what becomes important to us, who are for whatever reasons interacting with this set of scientific laws. Therefore...

    Exorcisms

    No and no. :) I believe in spirits based on subjective experience, but I don't believe any of them have any need or desire to inhabit and take over someone else's body. At least, I've never seen any evidence of such. And based on history, a priest would be completely useless for doing...

    What are you doing?

    :( I can relate - to all of it! And for whatever consolation it might be, that was a great way to express it. :flower2:

    If a faith were proven..

    I honestly can't be sure what I might do in such a case; but I would like to think that I have learned it is not worth it to appease a bully by submitting out of fear; any god who set up a judgment day for all the people who did not obey his whims or worship him exactly the way he demanded is...

    Why Do Gods Need To Be Worshipped

    My thoughts almost verbatim upon reading the title of this thread.

    If you found out god wasn't real.........

    Actually one reason I am so content with my faith is that if I discovered tomorrow that it had been utterly disproved, I would not change the way I live. I hold my faith loosely, because I knew from the outset that all faith is highly subjective, based on experiential evidence and a series of...

    Just what is this?

    Good point, Warren - Draka, your plant has serrated edges on the leaves, so it's probably *NOT* a tree of heaven! Yay! :trampo: Here's what the page says about look-alikes: "Native sumacs (Rhus) and trees like ash (Fraxinus), hickory (Carya), black walnut, butternut and pecan (Juglans) can be...
