    Leaving Church.....

    I appreciate the replies. I think I knew leaving would be necessary, and I'm just struggling to decide how to approach the actual leaving part. The cowardly part of me just wants to fall off the face of the earth.

    Leaving Church.....

    A basic rundown of my religious history: • Raised in nominally Christian home, attending a non-denomination church that always rubbed me the wrong way • Became apathetic towards religion as a teen • Suffered a few crises that required me to find a community I belonged to • After a year of...

    Someone help me with these verses?

    Then there is no proof that Jesus was even what he was said to be then if we look at it that way. He could have been a simple carpenter that people heard stories of and decided to turn him into the Son of God.

    Someone help me with these verses?

    GOD: "If the prophet speaks in the name of the Lord and the oracle does not come true, that oracle was not spoken by the Lord." (Deut. 18:22) Jesus: "Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the son of man has come." (Matt 10:23) “Verily I say unto you, all these things...

    Believing in God, but not Jesus

    Okay, to clear some things up: I do believe in the Abrahamic God. I believe everything the Old Testament says, because in my mind, that scripture is coming from God, and being dictated by men. I believe the New Testament is coming solely from men. I believe Jesus is a false prophet...

    Believing in God, but not Jesus

    I have been having issues with this. I don't need a label, but it would be easier, you know?? I believe in God. I don't, however, believe Jesus was a prophet. I believe he was a false prophet. Please, no bashing, no cajoling, no trying to get me to believe what you do. I will honor...

    Substituting ingredients in spells/rituals

    I don't have incense at the moment but many spells/rituals call for it. Can I maybe just light a smelly candle along with the other candle they say? If I don't do anything about it, if I just do the spell/ritual missing that one thing, will it make a difference? I don't have many...

    General Pagan questions I feel silly asking (All Pagans welcome)

    I am completely new. A newborn to the Pagan world, if you will. Everything is overwhelming and I would really appreciate if I could get some different answers to my questions no matter what form of Paganism you follow. How do you offer sacrifices to a god/gods/godesses/etc and what do you...

    Starting on my Pagan journey

    I am really drawn to both the Egyptian gods and the Roman/Greek gods. I feel that both the Egyptian and Roman/Greek gods were the same gods for the most part, just viewed differently by the different cultures. I believe the gods are there, not to set laws and govern our lives and make us...

    Starting on my Pagan journey

    I have done a lot of soul-searching, research, and reading and I really, truly believe that Paganism is for me. What overwhelms me are all the different forms of Paganism. When I first began my journey, I was pulled towards Confucianism/Taoism. I still am, but I definitely want to...

    Following Confucianism and Taoism

    How would one go about following Confucianism and Taoism? I love everything about both. I am young and naive and have no clue how one goes about following both at once. I understand they're both similar in many ways. They both have to do with 'the way' and are about harmony and peace. I...
