yikes... all i gotta say.
Psalms 111:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way....

How about some serious comments, without the lewd and the rude.
I'll set a tone and we'll see what happens.

What else?
Life is too short to not to accept the Salvation Of JESUS CHRIST.
Life is too short to have hate and anger in your heart.
Life is too short to not tell others about the love of GOD.
Life is too short not to have peace within oneself.
Life is too short not to do soul searching within one self and to be honest with the understanding that you come up with.

well that is something. My GOD'S Salvation makes you a new person. HE makes changes in your life, when you accept the Salvation that comes through The Love of JESUS CHRIST.

A day might come when the very foundations of your beliefs are shaken. What then?
I'm afraid if your beliefs are not built on The solid ROCK, the little house of your belief system built upon the sand will crumble in the storms to come.

I have to say something, I just can't help it. You don't consider yourself Pagan, you consider yourself Wiccian. Wicca has only been around for roughly 60 years and Paganism is a group term for early earth based religions. It doesn't matter though, just because a religion is older or younger doesn't make it any less "right". What is "right" can only be determined by faith. Also, before you posted this comment not one person criticized your religion though someone did ask a question which should be fine, expecially on a board. Even though you did not say these things to me I take it personally, it is my faith too!! And that's why I don't post on these boards or hardly read them because I don't like reading what you have to say about my religion, about me.
I myself believe that the only right, true, correct, real, etc. religion is Christianity. But no one in their right mind would practice a religion that they didn't believe in and so that's why I put right in quotation marks. Everyone that practices a religion thinks that their's is right. I don't believe that anyone can prove a religion with facts that would satisfy a nonbeliever or someone who is not ready to believe and so what a person believes or doesn't believe comes down to a matter of faith, for any religion, not just Christianity.

How does anyone choose? How does someone choose not to believe? When I was really little my parents took me to church but I wouldn't say this made me have faith. I walked away, God pulled me back. I walked away again and God pulled me back again. I can't expalin it, I just know it's true. And that's exactly what faith is.
