I seem to have linked to the article about the Burger King cologne, flame by BK, by accident. I'm glad that it's too late to fix it now! :D But here's the proper link: http://www.interfaith.org/forum/happy-winter-solstice-10310.html#post175059

I believe that the answer lies in the pagan roots of Christianity, so here's a pagan answer in the Christian forum. As Brian alluded to, many of the pagan European cultures had seasonal rites. The most basic breakdown of this is that in spring, the male god mates with the goddess, bringing...

Finally! Some scientific proof and cultural validation for what I've been doing for years: waking up and rubbing myself with bacon grease and hamburgers over an open flame. Dogs, cats, and hungry people of all genders love me, by the way. :D

HapPy BirFdaY!!!

Happy Solstice everyone. :) It amazes me how backwards our cultural traditions are during this season. Rather than it being a meditative time of introversion and introspection, this is the most stressful of holiday seasons. Rather than turning inwards and drawing on the strength of local...

YouTube - Jane's Addiction - Rock n' Roll - Sympathy for the Devil Sympathy starts at 4:09, baby. ;) And yes, I do have sympathy for the devil. He's been down too long, and it's starting to look like up to me. :)

Nick, your commentary on the parable seems to me to have little relation to what the parable is talking about. The "talent" being referred to is some kind of coin, is it not? The parable is about hoarding and investing. I can kind of see how you are interpreting it, but really there is no...

Interesting, Nick. In my own cosmology, I equate balance with having a healthy connection with the Earth. To me, to become too "spiritual" in the sense of some cosmic aether or heavenly abode is actually to become unbalanced. Spirit resides in the Earth as much as anywhere else, and it's my...

Nice to meet you, Lab Assistant. Um... yeah. We gotz some snows over on the east side of the state as well. My guesstimate is like... a whole frickin' lot of it. In layperson's terms, I'd say we're looking at at least a foot. My car door keeps freezing shut, too. Found out a hot water...

No. I did that bit myself. Internal spice rack, I like to call it. :eek: :p Ewwwww....

Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions. --Mark Twain

And now, Postmaster, master of Cypriot folklore--or if not master, certainly closer to the source than me with my dull wikipedia entries--ever heard of a Kallikantzaros? Some kind of goblin critter, said to be busy sawing at the roots of the world tree, but gets distracted during Christmastime...

Contradiction? Heh? How? What? Where? When? Is the contradiction mine? Or is it in the development and practice of "christianity," so-called. I would agree with you that there is a contradiction between the teachings of the one called "Christ" and that of the churches that have...

and Along those lines... Shodoka: Song of Freedom Can a wooden puppet attain Buddhahood by its practice of not–thinking? :)

Some use it as a drug. Some even get addicted. And of course there is the always popular use of the boards as soapbox. Perhaps that is what wil meant by platform. I've even heard that it can be used as a posterboard, especially useful for cutting and pasting. :) :D

Oh, that was very random of you. RaNDoM!!! Cupcakes at Easter comes the Swan. Don't Trust Death Metal. :D

Welcome! I like your bad attitude. :)

Dulles, yikes!! I missed that in my first skimming of this thread. Yes, the relation to John Foster and Allen Dulles does not bode well. Dark family history there. Allen Dulles, the Nazis, and the CIA

Gosh Tao, why you always got to go around pooping on christian parades? Wait, actually... you poop on all of the big three Abraham-descended parades... although I think you could might need to work on defecating on Judaism a bit more in order to give the impression of not having a bias. Hmmm...

Nevermind? Whatwhat?? Did I miss something? Why are you sighing? Here, have some coffee cake and a barbecue sandwich. Sweet wallpaper up in this place, by the way.
