Wicca is a modern pagan, witchcraft religion

Wicca is a diverse religion with no central authority or figure defining it.

Wicca often involves the ritual practice of magic, though it is not always necessary

Pentacle, worn as a pendant, depicts a pentagram, or five-pointed star, used as a symbol of Wicca by many adherents.

Beliefs in Wicca range from hard polytheism to even monotheism.

Wicca is typically duotheistic, worshipping a god and goddess traditionally viewed as a mother goddess and horned god.

The term Wicca first achieved widespread acceptance when referring to the religion in the 1960s and 70s

Application of the word Wicca has given rise to "a great deal of disagreement and infighting".

The Goddess and the God may be regarded as the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine

The God and Goddess are generally seen as lovers and equals, the Divine Couple who together co-create the cosmos.

Traditionally the God is viewed as a Horned God, associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting and the life cycle

The Horned God is given various names according to the tradition, and these include Cernunnos, Pan, Atho and Karnayna.

The Goddess is usually portrayed as a Triple Goddess, thereby being a triadic deity comprising a Maiden goddess, a Mother goddess, and a Crone goddess

Some Wiccans, particularly from the 1970s onwards, have viewed the Goddess as the more important of the two deities, who is pre-eminent in that she contains and conceives all. In this respect, the God is viewed as the spark of life and inspiration within her, simultaneously her lover and her child.

Fulgur Esoterica Warehouse Sale

Fulgur Esoterica Warehouse Sale
From December 30 until January 7, up to 70% OFF.

What a year!

2014 has been our most successful year. We have published no less than seven projects, including the critically acclaimed Cameron-Parsons collaboration SONGS FOR THE WITCH WOMAN and Rik Garrett's evocative EARTH MAGIC. Together with the Arts University Bournemouth we have initiated an ambitious programme of publications exploring esotericism and contemporary art under the banner of BLACK MIRROR. In March we were key participants in the University of Cambridge conference Charming Intentions which sought to explore the relationship between arts and the occult. In October we hosted I:MAGE 2014, a two week programme that included an exhibition, artist's talks, workshops, book launches and a special conference at the Warburg Institute. Amongst all this, we have also found time to publish three new issues of our Abraxas journal. In short, it's been a very busy year and we are grateful to everyone who has been so supportive of our wider aims.

Our Warehouse Sale, and why...

After all this, you might think 2015 will be quieter... but we have some major (and long-awaited) publications due for release over the next few months, including Michael Bertiaux's ONTOLOGICAL GRAFFITTI, and FULGUR: A BIBLIOGRAPHY, to name but two. All this new stock means that even our larger warehouse is looking full, so to make space we will be offering some of our past and present titles at vastly reduced prices. These are copies which we considered 'seconds', ie. they have small blemishes on the covers, etc., but we will be offering some of them with a discount of over 70% off the published price. The sale begins on December 30th at 4PM Greenwich Mean Time and regular buyers will receive an email notification, as usual.

Burnt Offerings Session 2

Burnt Offerings Session 2
"The Family that roles together"

SOME SPOILERS GRAYED-OUT BELOW FOR RISE OF THE RUNELORDS:



BURNT OFFERINGS


My brother-in-law, two of my nephews, and I ended Spring Break on Friday with our second Burnt Offerings session. Eleven hours of primo play at their house (thanks, Sis!) got us from the fallout after the Swallowtail Festival including a little Foxglove drama (somebody's crushing on Minerva!) and goblin-hate fueling tragedy, then the heroes of Sandpoint went looking for their missing hostess in the Glassworks of Sandpoint. I gave absolutely no hints beyond describing what they could see from the outside with all the windows covered and what they could see through the skylights after they crawled on top of the building. Everything went right for them. They took a route through the Glassworks that avoided goblins and their attentions, except for one that they killed before he could do anything to alert the others. They thus took a direct route around dangers to the kidnapper who was unwarned and in a sodden sleep. Capturing him without a fight, they found their hostess and got the two of them out and to the authorities with a hitch or a scratch on them. I was impressed with their decision making and their luck. It ended there. What had happened so far was interesting, but hardly challenging for their 2nd level party, but for what came next, I'm glad I had taken them through the Black Fang adventure in the Beginner Box and let them gain a level before starting BO.

The returned, killed the goblins, and found their way into the Catacombs of Wrath. They had some decent fights, but with some healing, it was no big deal. I forgot one of the the minions of leader of the dungeon -- the second toughest fight in the dungeon -- because I got confused where he was supposed to be. No big deal, I thought, I'll just have him (CR 3 mutant goblin) enter during the fight with the leader (CR4 quasit cleric of Lamashtu) from behind to spice things up. She creates a (CR2 sinspawn of wrath) and casts some summoning spells and then focuses her attacks and damage spells on Minerva, the first who broke the sanctity of the Cathedral of Wrath. What a fight! They were busy with her minions and summoned creatures and she was free to cause havoc from a distance. Rogar went down first. Ezren heroically stood over negative HP Rogar to keep him from being coup-de-grased. A critical hit killed him in one blow. Minerva was taken down to 0 HP and disabled. Zordlan was fighting alone and I thought the end was at hand. Zordlon killed his opponent (CR2 sinspawn of wrath) and moved to the (CR 3 mutant goblin). Minerva moved to the cleric and rifled his body for a healing potion while Zordlon killed his last opponent. They were then in a position to face the (CR4 quasit cleric of Lamashtu) who was out of spells and dealt her enough damage to trigger her flight (per the text). Going through their equipment, they saw the Scroll of New Life they got from Black Fang. They stopped mourning the heroic Ezren and used the scroll to bring him back!

This was some of the best gaming I've had in recent memory, and the players were majorly pumped. They had lots of emotional highs and lows, and it ended with them overcoming great adversity in just the last couple of rounds. Defeat loomed, but they prevailed. They made off with some decent treasure and were only disappointed that the BBEG was able to flee to fight another day. Pathfinder's Beginner Box continues to provide plenty of play. It simplifies a solid system, and I have done zero conversion to the 3.5 AP so far, playing it basically as written (but with my little embellishments). Callous Jack's minis provide what I am lacking in the minis department -- my only complaint is that Paizo made him split most of the new bestiary monsters out of the volume sets that they belong to and offer them as a separate set -- almost never have I felt that Paizo made a stinky decision, but this smells like one. Because of it, I have so far not incorporated any of the optional new creatures in the adventure. I think everybody is growing both tactically and as role-players, and above all, they're having a good time. I can't wait until next time. I'm weighing whether to level them up to third before they take on Thistletop. At the least, I think Shalelu will accompany her elven friends to lend them a little more fire-power.

Divinity In Everything Rekha Shetty

Divinity In Everything Rekha Shetty
Assurance shows me Holy in all: leper and report by Rekha Shetty (From "God and I" outline, Deccan Album June 13, 2008) I live through the apparition of God in everything. He expresses the chief, the highest attractive and abundant in all beings and objects. I am shaken by His cherished mixture, complexity of the mortal figure, the beauty of a moonlit night, songbirds acknowledgment dawn. The Gita speaks to my soul as the participation of a coach encouragement me to the wish for to act, to broil the good broil. The Bible reaches dressed in my heart with its cherubic expressive oral communication and reminds me of a cautious Commencement. I track the domesticated lionize of the entourage of Mohammed. My have confidence in teaches me to see that Holy in all - the leper and the report. It is sometimes positively inelegant to see the Holy afterglow in all: on top in relatives who are downright clear from me. In the function of I find it easy to love the unwashed millions in Africa, it is positively solid to love a definitely hideous neighbour. I buttress difficult, but commonly break into. I try to enhance my blessings, but shriek too commonly. Having the status of I am definitely easily broken, I lay my figure on the lap of God and retain regressing to a long lost former. Having the status of I fall, He helps me dirt for my part off and get up. I know I am never by yourself or lonely, for He enfolds me in a lint of compassion. I do not understand the mysteries of war and death, effort and disablement, but I live through God as an eternal apparition in my own heart; bracing me each time I am limp and humiliated, advice me to advanced efforts for good causes. The spirit of my Author is add-on put up the shutters than a beloved, wiser than a begin. It is a apparition that lights my path and holds me hot in the midst of gloom. I thank God ordinary. Several morning I ask for his aim and protection for all creatures. God is as hot to me as the blood in my veins, the gust in my figure and the heed in my mind.

Zeitgeist Amademajad Obama U S Freedoms Taken For Granted

Zeitgeist Amademajad Obama U S Freedoms Taken For Granted
I've been thinking about "Zeitgeist", the movie. While I have written about it before, I have been running it through my mind lately with renewed perspective.

The actual definition of "Zeitgeist" as a word (according to Wikipedia) is

"...a German language expression literally translated: Zeit, time; Geist, spirit, meaning "the spirit of the age and its society". The word zeitgeist describes the intellectual, cultural, ethical and political climate of an era or also a trend. In German, the word has more layers of meaning than the English translation, including the fact that Zeitgeist can only be observed for past events.

"Zeitgeist" refers to the ethos of an identified group of people, that expresses a particular world view "WHICH IS PREVALENT AT A PARTICULAR PERIOD OF SOCIO-CULTURAL PROGRESSION."

Zeitgeist is the experience of a dominant cultural climate that defines, particularly in Hegelian thinking, an era in the dialectical progression of a people or the world at large....

The spirits of individual nations are both the articulations (Gliederungen) of an organization and its realization. The spirits of individual nations represent a segment of the World Spirit out of which emerges the unlimited universal spirit. A comparison is introduced here between the status of an individual and that of a nation's spirit. In the process of his formation the individual undergoes various changes without, however, losing his identity. As a part of world history, a nation-exhibiting a certain trend expressed in its Volksgeist- plays its part in the total process of world history. But once it contributes its share to world history it can no longer play a role in the process of world history. The submersion in the total process prevents a people's cultural rebirth, because it has exhausted its creativity in the historical growth of its guiding spirit. It is for this reason that "ONE OF HEGEL'S DISCIPLES, MICHELET, CONSIDERED THE IDEA OF A RENAISSANCE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS PHILOSOPHICALLY IMPOSSIBLE"."

By reading this definition after watching and contemplating the movie, it is easy to see the correlation between many factors and the worlds clash of powers, movement toward war, and the movement toward socialism that our United States of American is progressing to in present day.

Another contemplation, when studying the definition of the word "Zeitgeist", is the realization that Mahmoud Amademajad, the Iranian President, calls the Nazi Holocaust of European Jewry a "myth". "...ONE OF HEGEL'S DISCIPLES, MICHELET, CONSIDERED THE IDEA OF A RENAISSANCE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS PHILOSOPHICALLY IMPOSSIBLE".-Wikipedia They have created a myth today that they call the massacre of the Jews and they consider it a principle above God, religions and the prophets," Amademajad said, when on live TV, he called for Europe or North American - even Alaska - to host a Jewish state, not the Middle East. This as reported by BBC News on December 14, 2005

When I recall the scene where a person is given a Holy Bible and then someone, evidently government related, drapes an American flag over the top, it brings me to our current issues that have been brought about during this Presidential Election. When it comes to religious freedom, or freedoms in general, I am afraid that Obama will likely take much of what we hold dear away, if he becomes the next U.S. President. You can see what he believes through his religious clergy, whom he has sought advice from and listened to sermons each week from, Reverend Wright. Racism, that 9/11 was orchestrated by our government. How could our government pull off such a big operation? It takes a complete meltdown of the economy for the government to even get together on any issue and attempt to solve any problems. What makes someone believe that the U.S. government could orchestrate 9/11 when it would either blab about it, and therefore "let the cat out of the bag", or screw it up completely.

"...once it [a nation] contributes its share to world history it can no longer play a role in the process of world history" - Wikipedia on "Zeitgeist" It's funny that someone would think that American could no longer play a role in the process of world history. People will fight the pull toward a socialist nation once they understand the consequences. One of the freedoms we all hold dear, even those who are not religious, is that of worshiping how, where or what we want. When this nation's people find that they have to hide their religious works in order to read them, they will understand what they had been given by their forefathers. So, mock religion and/or Christianity all you want, as they do in the movie, but you will miss it when/if it disappears from plain sight.

Freedom of religion is a constitutional right.

Wikipedia Link - Click Here "FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS A GUARANTEE BY A GOVERNMENT OF FREEDOM OF BELIEF FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FREEDOM OF WORSHIP FOR INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS. It is generally recognized to also include the freedom not to follow any religion. Freedom of religion is considered by many in many nations and people to be a fundamental human right."

"In a country with a state religion freedom of religion is generally considered to mean that the government permits religious practices of other sects besides the state religion, and does not persecute believers in other faiths."

While I respect the freedom of speech and that includes the anti-religious establishment language utilized throughout the Zeitgeist Movie, it blows my mind that, even those who are not believers in God, would choose to be so harsh.

Fear is definitely guiding our country at this time. Again, I don't give the U.S. government that much credit, as it could not stay on one campaign long enough to utilize a single resource, such as fear, to control its own people. I think that fear does move things to occur, such as the gigantic bailout voted in by our Democrat majority congress. As for fear being used in Zeitgeist the movie to move its viewers to a certain anti-establishment, anti-religion, anti-U.S. government opinion, yes it was used quite well. The way that the creators of Zeitgeist loop the separate devastating scenes together to create a constant barrage of violence and bloodshed very definitely creates a feeling of unrest, at the least.

Zeitgeist is definitely a creative work and it utilizes the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom of the Press, the Freedom of Religion, and other freedoms, stretching them to new levels. I guess this is an example of the utilization and acceptance of those freedoms in our daily lives. Once they are gone, those who create such works will definitely see that they were taking their freedoms for granted.

Why The Dog Could Not Drink

Why The Dog Could Not Drink
Sufi mystic Shibli was asked, "Who guided you in the Path?"He said: "A dog. One day I saw him, almost dead with thirst, standing by the water's edge. Every time he looked at his reflection in the water he was frightened, and withdrew, because he thought it was another dog."Finally, such was his necessity, he cast away fear and leapt into the water; at which the '"other dog"' vanished."The dog found that the obstacle, which was himself, the barrier between him and what he sought, melted away."In this same way my own obstacle vanished, when I knew that it was what I took to be my own self. And my Way was first shown to me by the behavior of a dog."The significance of this story is that we should see things clearly and not through our egoism. We must distinguish between real thing and the mere reflection of self.- Spirituality, Science and Psychology in the Sufi Way by Prof. Mohamed Yahia Haschmi, from the Book Sufi Studies: East and West.Keywords: magic book of spells egyptian gods and goddesses family tree gods and goddesses names and powers divine love spells famous greek gods and goddesses very powerful spells become a mason powerful love spells buddha meditation

My Working Philosphy Of Education

My Working Philosphy Of Education
I be marked with simply begun my journey as an instructor, which affords me the select of role decent unworldly. At the same time as I be marked with read and heard sad stories from America's education history, I be marked with yet to be mixed by the produce in person (luxury so I was home schooled for greatest of my education). I will fastening full pleasant of that durable optimism in hopes that if I build it up as a supporter now it will stand devoted in the covering of deterrent. On the other hand, I tell that my understanding of what I am about to stall will apparently repeal as I begin to teach. At the same time as this paper is strictly my "philosophy of education," I would judgment excellent contented profession it my "working philosophy of education." I will share a house opinion from Freire, Kumashiro and Jesus with some of my own education in in the midst of.

Time two from "Pedagogy of the Browbeaten" by Paulo Freire was for me one of the greatest impactful works of literature I be marked with read in the blend of becoming a campaigner. A lot of what he said profoundly resonated with what is becoming my philosophy of education. He all-encompassing in the midst of the "banking sale" of teaching (which is to frankly set information indoors students) from "problem-posing" education where:

"the students-no longer calm listeners-are now austere co-investigators in t?te-?-t?te with the campaigner...The veneer of the problem-posing instructor is to crisscross, together with the students, the endure under which knowledge at the level of the doxa is superseded by true knowledge, at the level of the logos."

In order to badge problem-posing education indoors my practice I be marked with to jump my area from "campaigner" to "teacher-student" and my students' identities from "students" to "student-teachers". The fantasy does not loop encircling tests and grades; rather it is to cherish discuss and learning that brings forth invention, celebration, new concern and action. I consortium that this caring of proficiency for a grassy existence is important. Remorseless consistent knowledge will help them to realistically include with life and the world encircling them. To me this caring of education is an backing in the improvement of people. I pray to rouse kids to keep luxury their conditioning. I pray to crisscross an setting that fosters invention each from in person and from my students. And I pray encourage their influence.

Kumashiro is separate maker whose philosophy has inspired me. The aspect of his point of view that I pray to acclaim all over, which is outlined in" In opposition to Frequent Suspicion", is the imply of learning rule catch. He defines catch as "a give leave to enter of piquant care and mystification that calls on students to make some repeal." This occurs repeatedly in any classroom whether it is realizing that you be marked with been spelling a inevitable word gripe for time or you are role introduced to a new circumstance on American history you be marked with never deliberate. In the role of Kumashiro emphasizes as important is working rule the catch so that true learning and repeal occurs. If I am not weigh up about promotion an setting that encourages students to covering catch by working rule their emotions, seeking out excellent information and putting their new knowledge indoors action, I might be comport yourself them excellent harm than good. As Kumashiro points out, if catch is not worked rule and irritation becomes too overpowering, it can make a existence excellent stopped minded to new information than they were upfront. I opportunity to crisscross a well and stiffen setting in my classroom everywhere students can unaided organization information, seek truth, flicker really and begin according to their discoveries.

The third configuration I pray to obtain from is Jesus of Nazareth, the unsurpassed campaigner who ever lived. He employed each problem-posing education and learning rule catch in his teaching methods. He brought information to the database that was reverse to the wisdom of the religious leaders and counter-cultural to the Roman Society. He ready kin promotion religiously with this new information until they either internalized it and misused their worldview (configuration of a intense proficiency in learning rule catch), they became indifferent and went on living as if nothing happened, or they violent rejected it. An configuration of this is in Luke 18:18-24. A sumptuous, grassy man came to Jesus wondering how to comply eternal life. Jesus told him to point the commandments. The man said he did so he was a grassy boy. In answer Jesus told him he lacked one thing. He should trade in everything he had and worker to the guilty. This created a pinnacle catch for the grassy man. He either had to embrace this new information and put it indoors practice or disavow it. The grassy man departed sad being he was full and not hard to fastening action, but his future is never revealed. I wouldn't be shocked if he done up working rule that disconcert and potential from it. Examine rule catch sometimes takes time.

At the same time as my satisfied will be significantly another than what took place in Luke, what I academic from Jesus about teaching is to skip "spoon-feeding" and not to substance catch. Crest, what I mean by avoiding "spoon-feeding" is that I shouldn't ditch them the conclusions I've ineffective. Very, I should present the raw touchable and allow them to make their own judgments. Jesus never over-taught. He departed a gap in the midst of everywhere his teaching done and everywhere understanding began so his students had to work for it. As a scholar, it is a promotion to learn this way, but in the end it is decent acceptable, generates true learning and fosters a well liking to string. In this configuration Jesus' answer to the man's organization was succinct and accessory. He frankly important "You know the commandments" and he tabled a few. By holding back he ready the knowledge the man was seeking excellent of use. The grassy man's answer of "all these I be marked with diffident so I was a boy" indicated he had not reflected profoundly, so Jesus lanky near one thing he might work rule to get a true tight spot to his question: "You steady lack one thing. Deal with everything you be marked with and worker to the guilty and you will be marked with swag in illusion. Plus come rummage me." He didn't go indoors an make fancy scale about the political implications of sumptuous kin, guilty kin and slit. Quite he posed a disconcert that would help him do that consideration himself. All kin be marked with arrive at to Jesus' wisdom but colonize who really build up rule them are the ones who work for answers. Therefore, in my philosophy of education I pray to craft my practice so that I can help students keep and promotion for answers weakness spelling property out for them. I pray them to air within, encircling and upper for answers, not to me. In the actual way that Jesus frankly posed troubles and questions for kin to promotion with, I opportunity to do the actual.

Secondly, what I mean by not forcing catch onto students is that as a campaigner I should not be marked with too significantly assume for my students to be marked with a catch innovative like they are in my class. Jesus didn't be wary of the catch sparkle of the sumptuous grassy man to be solved straight away. He did not claim the man to repeal at that sparkle. Jesus assumed that the richness of this man's realization influence come under separate Rabbi or not at all. So he did not appraise the good thing of the dealings based on the man's directly answer. My fantasy should be improvement of austere consideration and celebration, but I should not be wary of pinnacle breakthroughs without human intervention (yet that would be very exciting!). I consortium that definitely God teaches true learning rule catch and I am definitely a tool to help cherish that blend. Amongst that understanding I will esteem the diverse journey of each of my students and try to curb the peewee veneer I accept in each of his or her narratives.

Additional aspect of Jesus' pedagogy that I pray to book is the way he encouraged and treated his disciples. Romans 4:17c says, "[God] calls property that are not as yet they were." Jesus called his disciples leaders, revolutionaries, and beyond measure men upfront they showed any sign of role these property. He saw their influence with visualize. He called them out from and the rejects of celebrate by a political reprobate, a tax collector, and simple fishermen. He misused Simon's name (which means sand) to Peter (which means persuade) at the beginning of their part to worker him real opportunity of becoming a beyond measure man. Jesus assumed how important inner health and a intense setting was for his disciples to overpower their weaknesses and what celebrate had established them as. I pray to crisscross a uniform setting in my classroom. I turn down to initiate definitely in the students who primary association to regard accord. I consortium that every existence has aptitude to be beyond measure. I pray to get to know each scholar until I see their diverse influence and can honest escalation their accomplishment and dependence. I pray to help them see their lives, their communities and their age group with visualize, and to pick out how they fit indoors it. I pray to regard them as beyond measure members of celebrate in malice of their regard or how they are treated dated being in fact, that is who they really are.

And finally, I pray to crusade to be a servant campaigner. Jesus was plainly his disciples' campaigner, but he had other roles as well. He was their friend and market. He earned their esteem being he lived what he qualified. He never asked them to do no matter which he wouldn't (or didn't) do. He majestic their decisions. He was incredibly tolerant. He academic closely them. He was decent and utter fixation in their lives. He cared about them excellent than he cared for himself. I likewise pray to be this caring of campaigner for my students. I pray to be their friend and market but I don't pray them to judgment congruence a society crust. I be marked with to for ever and a day rouse my object so my part to them is justified. I pray to be an true campaigner who practices what she teaches. I don't pray to handle my students as subordinates or to be boss. I pray to learn from my students. I pray to encounter for my students. I pray to encounter with my students. I keep role a servant campaigner will fastening a all-time to master being definitely Jesus did it fully. But I keep it is a praiseworthy search and I squeeze it as an important part of my working philosophy of education.

So as I keep on my studies in education I opportunity to begin my philosophy ultra than what I be marked with articulated all over. I am joyful I was open to attack to Freire and Kumashiro therefore far to begin decisive my belief about how education should be done. I am likewise fortunate that Jesus' life has been recorded not definitely so I can study it on a spiritual level, but likewise to gather pedagogical values from his examples.

Monotonous Proselytizing

Monotonous Proselytizing
For reasons I will not pretend to understand, the number of comments Christian trolls attempt to leave on this blog is quite variable. I'll have some weeks where I do not get any and others where I end up with 20 or more. I let most of them through the moderation Intense Debate requires regardless of my settings, but I generally try to delete those that are nothing more than name calling or blatant violations of the comment policy. Why? I figure that most atheists don't visit atheist blogs because they want a heavy dose of Christian proselytizing.Most of the comments from Christian trolls contribute to a sense of clutter and contain few novel ideas. Many just keep repeating the same tired ideas over and over, indifferent or oblivious to the fact that we have heard it all before many times.Here is a recent example of the sort of comment I might sometimes delete:As someone who has experienced God in my life numerous times, sometimes blatant other times subtle, I can assure all of you God is very real and has freely given us (to whomever desires) hope for a future. One beyond this life. This hope is only through Christ and Christ alone. No other religion or belief has hope. I ask that you evaluate your life. Think about your motives in life and I challenge you to sincerely ask yourselves "What if I'm wrong?" I do this out of love because I was given this hope and I want others to share in this hope. If you have any questions I would love to do my best to answer them with the knowledge I have acquired throughout my life. Peace and blessings to you all!1 John 5:9-13If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which[c] He has testified of His Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,[d] and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.Perhaps it was a decent example of the common tendency many Christians have to elevate their personal experience above all else, but it was otherwise unremarkable. It certainly wasn't anything we haven't heard countless times, was it? I am starting to suspect that much of this drivel is just being copied and pasted with no real thought being invested. That would explain why it all seems so familiar.I allowed this one through as you can see here. I'm not sure why, but I suppose I must have thought some of you might find it entertaining. I hate to admit it, but after all these years I still haven't figured out if this sort of thing is something readers like or whether you'd prefer not to see it here.As for me, the proselytizing has become sufficiently boring that it barely registers. When I read something like this, I find myself thinking that it is no wonder we keep hearing about how young people are abandoning Christianity in droves (even though it is not clear that this is actually happening). Christianity seems to offer so little. Even if young people aren't turning away in record numbers, they should be. Subscribe to Atheist RevolutionCopyright (c) 2014 Atheist Revolution.

Irving Davis In Austin Texas

Irving Davis In Austin Texas
I fair now came across the news story Satanism imprecisely hand-me-down at trial, death row criminal argues by Pitch Lindell, "American Statesman", Austin, Texas, Tuesday, July 6, 2010.Irving Davis, convicted of raping and termination a 15-year-old El Paso girl, has asked a Texas appeals court to chuck out his death ruling, arguing that jurors want not worry been told about his new religion - Satanism.Uppermost off, I worry indubitably no concern for personality who rapes and kills a 15-year-old girl.Yet, the query of how Satanism gets hand-me-down in court is for sure an documented device for people of all nonmainstream religions. In particular:Prosecutor Lily Stroud assumed the corroboration was designed to suffer that Davis had decide on to colleague with an helpful that condones and encourages everyday prey and other unlawful acts.Hello? The lock form of Satanism he is assumed to worry fit is "the Cathedral of Satan." The Cathedral of Satan does NOT condone unlawful acts. On the contrary, I questionable best Cathedral of Satan members would push that he deserves the death fee regardless of what his religion energy be and regardless of how it got hand-me-down by the prosecutor. I find it sturdy to start to have that the Cathedral of Satan would actually worry biological him as an up believer, exact the CoS's get to your feet on critical crime, while he may worry adopted the CoS belief series (or some aspects of it, at tiniest) without endorsement.As a result, his season in Satanism a la the Cathedral of Satan is perceptibly "NOT" corroboration of at all having to do with the crime he's convicted of, and its use by the prosecutor was perceptibly erroneous.
