Brilliant comment Wil. Though wasted I'm afraid.

Shib said "That's the problem with ignorance in many people. God has not chosen us; we have chosen God. It has been from taking our choice seriously that we have become known as the chosen People of God." More specifically that Jews have chosen their God most seriously means that Jews have...

Shib, My answer to your negative is positive. You are positively incorrect. Lumping all animals under one categorical statement is to deny the reality you perceive every day. I do not know if this is your belief or not. It has been common for those who put humans on another level than all other...

Reality, for most people, is that sliver of the pie that we humans with our stunted senses can actually experience. Why do you suppose that the Gods (if there are Gods) created us with such limitations? Cause there is a complete pie out there (and in here) that we have not been given the ability...

King of Hearts: What do you know about this unfortunate affair? March Hare: Nothing. Queen of Hearts: Nothing whatever? March Hare: Nothing whatever! Queen of Hearts: [shouts] That's very important! Jury, write that down!

This is all a superfluous discussion. The fact is that, as Aup said, there is only one form of contraception amongst humans. The sperm and the egg. Any suggestion that Mary was impregnated by a non-corporeal entity, or God if you will has to, let me restate Has To be accepted on faith. And on...

I'm really not sure. Beyond the veil or not though I am having a difficult time accepting that "THE TRUTH" is beyond words and conceptual thoughts. Of what use is a truth if it is beyond comprehension. And how would one identify this truth if one is not capable of using any process to understand it.

Ah truth. That most contested of words. Reality seems to suggest that perception is trusted far more than truth is. And what is to me very strange, perception rules whether the subject is of vague truths (where one would expect some disparity) to hard truths (where there really should not be any...

Marcia, So the deterministic side of your thinking is the laws of physics that govern our reality. Yes? Free will would not be limited to just humans though. Per Tea's question I believe that most mammals have a certain amount of free will, varying on the degree that instinct rules their...

The GOP pays lip service to Christian values. Nothing more. It is a cynical trick to get people to believe the GOP has a moral center and should be supported. Whenever one needs to mislead people, the two oldest methods are still the best. Wave the flag, or wave the Bible. That being said, the...

Hello Wolfman and welcome. The short answer is No. There is no chance of spirit energy leading to possession. The longer answer. First things first. Modern Wiccan faiths are just that. Modern. We have no genuine information about any ancient tradition of Wicca. Doesn't mean it didn't exist...

This study may, and I do emphasize 'may' say something about modern western society. To suggest that the findings have any relation with earlier times is completely spurious. Sexual attitudes were different 20 years ago, much less 2,000 years ago. It is also flawed in that it makes a connection...

The meaning of his post is plain as day, Wil. You aren't being obtuse are you?
