    What are Guardian Angels

    well I'm not a christian, but certainly christianity isn't the only religion that believes in guardian spirits watching over you. It's pretty universal, especially the spiritualism of people in ancient times compared to the rationalism of today, any Anthropologist will tell you that. I have...

    my view on paganism

    well yeah, if that's how we all originated. Some mythologies have it both ways, there were both cities and the hunter-gathers in the beginning, cuz the gods built the first cities. I guess we'll never know for sure how we originated though :)

    my view on paganism

    The oldest known sites of religious activity comes from Mesopotamia (Samara and Ubaid) and Anatolia (Catal Huyuk). They pre-date the Neolithic european activity. The Indus Valley civilization is also in the mix.

    my view on paganism

    Hinduism is a post-Vedic monopoly of philosophies and religious sects. It originated a little before Buddhism around 800 BC, when mystical philosophy dominated over the old Indo-Aryan Vedics. Allthough Hindus will tell you a different story.

    Used to getting laughed at yet?

    LOL. I remember those days :P Yeah when I was in high school the same happened to me, more of a fascination/weirdo type of thing than all out discrimination. Most discriminating I get is when I encounter those fundie JW or other fundie Evangelists knocking at my door at some ungodly hour! :D...

    Who Is Jehovah?

    hmm, well couldn't "God" name himself? :) I know Judaism at least believes their God has an "eternal name" in YHVH, but it cannot be pronounced, understood, or said.... The first gods in my tradition, their names are phrases that represent them, like "heaven," "exalted lady," "lord earth,"...

    Hmm

    your definition of what "mythology" represents is excellent Maize, probably the best one I've heard yet. Most folks think myths are just fables, stories about gods and heroes that certain people made up for entertainment, without ever trying to understand those people and why they held their...

    Tongues

    In my experience and listening to the experiences of others close to the way I believe, speaking in tongues usually comes when we go into an intense devotional state, where we realize our love for the gods (or in a christian's case, God). It is a very emotional experience, it's like feeling the...

    Who Is Jehovah?

    congratulations ron68, you just made the most rediculously funny topic of all time. "J" sickness LMAO But you have become lost in the wonderful dream world of Egotistical Dogma! You have no idea where the title "Allah" comes from do you. It comes from the title "Illah," but was changed...

    Was Muhammad a Prophet?

    So you are saying that it was common for old men to marry young girls, and you expect us to believe they didn't do detestable things to them in private? While outwardly Muhammad may have acted like he was marrying for their benefit, to protect them, etc. But apparently they did have child when...

    Was Muhammad a Prophet?

    forget about what it says in the Quran, just take a good rational look at the life of Muhammad and Aisha and tell me this is the great prophet whom none can compare. Should muslims portray Muhammad and take little girls into their home? And I expect an answer from the muslims here, a very good...

    Was Muhammad a Prophet?

    Marrying a little girl and copulating with her at 9 years old isn't a sign of some great prophet of an allmighty god, it is called sexual abuse.

    Christian Evangelicals Have Declared a Culture War: Are You Prepared?

    I guess to the extremist, they interpret the Bible the way they see fit, and call it the truth, regardless of what it might really be saying. The same thing applies with Polygamy among the Mormon families in the West. Where is solid proof that you may have two or more wives in the Bible? Not...

    How does one really know?

    You have a good point there, Majikthise, and I agree you don't have to follow a religion or a god to be a good-hearted person. Everyone has the conscious decision of how they want to think and act in life, regardless of religion. But for me at least, it helps knowing that I have my gods to...

    - - Satanism and Atheism - -

    wow, all this bashing and trolling over someone elses beliefs, celestial please. IT IS JUST A BELIEF, IT ISN'T GOING TO HARM YOU OR ANYONE ELSE. Any person or belief system that does not respect or at least tolerate other people's diverse beliefs and seeks to harm or destroy them without any...

    Please prove it to me

    Many christians are like that Magurk, there's really not much else we can do about it other than ignore them. It annoys me too when a religious person gets to be nothing more than a "my way or the highway" type. The best thing to do is just ignore the ignorant ;)

    Do you believe that the flood actually happened

    well I guess I believe in this great flood story. The Sumerians did have the oldest recordings of its happenings, and afterwords almost every other culture wrote about it, including the Jews. These people all seemed to think the event happened. So yeah I believe there was some kind of massive...

    Familiars

    yeah I strongly believe in household guardians. Sure they can come in all sorts of forms, usually mine come in the form of women wearing white or light grey robes, and really long hair lol.

    Dealing with Hauntings

    I would invoke my Guardian watchers and tell them to banish the evil presence in the home. Evil spirits usually have some form of malevolent character that causes fear and anxiety throughout the home. It is the Guardians who give power to protective images. It is my belief that everyone has a...
