Yes. Male and female genital mutilation, on the grounds that the parents have some sort of religous beleif, rather than a medical must. As I say, were my Goblinism to dictate the removal of the earlobe of a baby, people would be calling me insane, my religion evil, and wishing to remove the...

Really? Do you mind if I ask some questions. 1) Have you ever asked any of them a huge question, like, is God real, or do you wish you were alive again, anything of that nature? 2) Why do these spirits even need a medium and all these special conditions, in order to make contact with the...

By whom, in your view? Who is discouraging us to think, and to what end?

Key words there, Sam, imo. Of course self mortification in a religous context is seen as acceptable. That is my entire point. In almost any other context, it would be seen as dysfunctional behaviour, and the person would be treated as a mental health patient, yet if that same behaviour is...

There are people who seem to change their religion as often as most of us would change our underwear - a curious breed so they are. Let's say someone converts from Christianity to Islam, by choice. For years they might have been going around, preaching the word of Jesus as being the one 'true...

The web done on Peyote wasn't a bad effort. But the one on caffeine..? Ha! :)

From what I can gather, Islam is the fastest growing religion today, far outstripping Judaism and Christianity, in % of growth. For sure, simple breeding can account for a large part of that, Muslims may be having larger families than the other two, as they fan out. However, I think I am...

The literal and popular idea of a 'virgin' birth would sound utterly ludicrous to us, in almost any other context. Think about it. Let us say that a girl from your home town was seeing your brother. She had not yet had sex with your brother. One day she feels a bit sick, takes a...

For the same reason that all the so called holy books of the desert religions are heavily mysoginistic, and that is that they were written by men in a culture in which such things as gay and womens rights did not exist. Indeed, I would be more surprised if the writings of these primative men...

Okay dokey... 1) Did Jews reject Jesus as the son of god and their king, because he failed to fullfill certain prophecies in their eyes, or that at that time, they wanted more a warrior king, not a man who went around preaching peace? Or was it a bit of both? 2) What do you think Jesus...

Check.. Scientists at the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have turned their attention from the mysteries of the cosmos to a more esoteric area of research: what happens when you get a spider stoned. Their experiments have shown that common house spiders...

It seems you do then? At least in some of them. So, with this pack of cards, what do you think she was connecting to?

On the contrary, asking as many questions as one needs is absolutely critical, BEFORE one embraces anything. This applies more when it is something of life changing importance, of course. You would not move to the other side of the world, to take that new job, without asking questions, would...

Hi Wil, As far as I know, it was due to the adverse publicity over this camp that forced those behind it to close it down...indefinitely. I do not think there was a legal mandate to do so. The women who is behind it all, she still walks around free, and has declared that she is now...

So people connect to the 'allness', and effectively they see things/experience things, as perhaps they wish them to? Be that a vision of Jesus, Mary, aliens, fairies, whatever? What is this 'allness' that you speak of? Can it be shown?

One thing is almost a given. Those who are most likely to go see a medium or have their tarot read are likely to be having an issue in one of these areas.. A) A relationship problem B) Money/work worries C) A bereavement In other words, most people only go to see one when they are...

We do come in all kinds as you put it, Wil, and diversity is something I welcome. However, my tolerance of diversity ends when it crosses the boundary into the physical or mental abuse of minors. In most of those examples you gave, the law would agree with me, and very possibly, the children...

This is what you think *some* mediums are connecting with - 'oneess/all knowledge'..? Sorry Wil, that is a touch vague for me. I shall try to be more direct. Do you think some mediums can contact the 'spirits' of those who have died?

The good news is that following the controversy over the documentary, the camp has shut down ... indefinitely. The bad news is that those behind it are still at large, still free to capitalise on trusting minds, when they should be behind bars. And you also have to wonder about the mind of...

There can be few more acts despicable than the psychologically terrorising the minds of the very young. A few months ago, I happened to watch a docu-film called Jesus Camp. You may be familiar with it. Exerts can be seen on You Tube. Having watched it, and done further research, I felt...
