Personally, I disagree with the view that it is morally unchallenging. Sure, there's no belief in an eternal hell or some other form of punishment after death for wrong doings, aside from perhaps the next life you're reincarnated into. But the "as it harm none" in Wicca also includes the...

It's also important to note that Witchcraft and Wicca are not the same thing, even though they are often used interchangeably. Wicca is a religion, and (in my view at least), if you are Wiccan, you are not any other religion, (i.e. Christian). Witchcraft is a practice, which can be a part of...

And this is why I'm against Ron Paul.

Getting back on topic.... personally the more I learn, I am not a fan of Ron Paul. He basically says "let the states do what they want". As flawed as it is, we need the federal government in the U.S. To let states do what they want, would be the Dark Ages of America. Think of the progress we've...

Typically, when referring to the Bible, the "end times" is an evangelical Christian term used to describe what they believe will happen at the end of the world, when Jesus comes back to rescue his followers (called "the Second Coming") and bring God's Kingdom on Earth. In their view, most of...

I'm trying to get more into my Zen practice, myself. I've found that while I agree with the Zen Buddhist concepts, I'm very bad at self-discipline :( I've felt for a long time that if I were to ever leave Christianity again, it would be for Buddhism. Fortunately, thanks to the flexibility of...

She's almost 50, so I highly doubt she'll grow out of anything, except maybe her pants size. :-P

I'm kind of dealing with this right now, it seems. The last couple of days, I've been involved in a "debate" with my mom about my religious beliefs. She's currently accusing me of being in a cult. I have mentioned nothing of the more Pagan aspects of my faith.... the closest I've come to that is...

http://youtu.be/k7voQMC7jlk This is one of my favorite songs. It doesn't have an official video, unfortunately, so this is the one I made for it back in October.

Frustrating, isn't it?

A "year" spread would be great too :) I'm getting my Masters in Social Work. After I graduate (in May), I take my licensing exam, and then hopefully get a new job :)

I actually feel kind of bad sometimes, because there are a lot of causes I feel strongly about, but rarely get to be active in those causes, outside of those that overlap with my career goals. I feel strongly about animal rights (I'm not fully vegetarian, but do try to buy organic and local when...

You know, honestly, since I've started my internship working with kids on the spectrum, I've had to question this myself. I typically have no problem with empathy. I relate well to others in that regard (human and animal), and indeed one of the reasons I opted for this field is because...

Thanks! I would love a "generic" reading on relationships and work if you'd like :) Those are usually the biggest issues in my life, and since next semester is my last semester of grad school, and I'm soon to be doing the whole "looking for work I'm more qualified for" thing after finishing and...

me, every time I'm alone in my car. Actually used to sing in public - grew up very musically involved in church, school, etc. Then, adolescence and self-esteem issues kicked in, and I never quite got over the "stagefright" part of it all.
