Which do you suppose matters more, your version of God, or God's version of you? :-)
Is Hillary a member? If she isnt she should be. She sure does ride a broom.
"Also, selling the idea of Satan to other humans was one of man's major victories of the 0th century."
Oh, man has known of the existence of the Evil One since long before that.
I pray that you recognize the truth before it's too late.
It's dumb that someone could be asked to pray, and then be told what not to pray. THAT is creating some weird kind of religion with government sanction....since it doesn't exist in the real religious world.
The names of all the religious leaders in the county who are listed in the phone book should be included in a drawing. There should be a random drawing of names for the council's 12 or 52 meetings per year. Names should be returned to the hopper for each drawing.
Whatever denomination gets picked, gets to pray. The prayer should have a time limit. A one minute invocation is appropriate. The words of the prayer are at the discretion of the prayer. No racist, profane, or violent prayers should be accepted....such names would be excluded from future drawings.
This will be entirely random, and everyone has an equal chance on every drawing. No one is being discriminated against. No one is being favored. No "state created" religion or prayer is favored.
Frankly this is Evil.

I'm in the middle of reading "The Name of the Rose," by Umberto Eco. A mystery story set in an abbey during medieval times, it discusses at length the heresies and church conflicts of those days. Particularly, the deaths of heretics by burning at the stake are described in detail. I have to admit that after reading the accounts I find the headline of this piece kind of nauseating, though I'm sure the author didn't meat it that way.
What, you think rocks have spirits? When I read that line from the article, it reminded me of Pet Rocks. To me, Wicca is a silly excuse for a faith.

And I ask again, your point is? There are alot of silly excuses for religions out there, but it doesn't mean they aren't religions. If you are going to give one credence, you must give all. IMO
Thanks for your thought, I feel the same way.
...as you know, Sean Connery, starred in the movie of the same name...A Great Movie.
I hope they got to pay court costs!
Didn't know there was a movie made from "Name of the Rose." I'll have to rent it if I still think well of the book when I finish it. I assume Connery played Brother William of Baskerville? Thanks for the info.
Many Indians...excuse me, Native Americans, believe that all things are infused with "Spirit" including rocks, trees, rivers, etc.. Most nature religions share many of the same tenets.
That's a great opinion to have, but it's just an opinion. I don't have to give credence to anything that's not credible to me.
