Is he dead yet?

ecchi
No I am not new to message boards,but I beleive if someone has a view on religeon, whether they are beleivers or not, they should not insult a faith.

Wenchy, just a query about Paganism. Many years back, out of interest only, I read a lot about witchcraft. In that "religion" the term "grimoires" refers to the stronger, most black spellbooks, the ones most witches won't even read, let alone use. Does the fact that Pagans use these as their "personal bibles" mean you go in for the darker stuff or have you just corrupted the use of the word grimoir ?

I'd only advocate becoming a 'Winchester .357 Underlever Mod 94AS' worshiper and those sun worshipers can bring it on!

lol

Theproofhouse - I agree, but there is a difference between believing in "not insulting a faith" and stifling criticism of a faith. For example I am a Christian, I have spent a lot of time at church, I even used to belong to a group who went around performing religious plays to anyone who we could convince to watch them in the hopes of helping "people see the light". However I do not have a problem with any of the posts on this, or similar threads. In fact if the moderators started editing any of these posts, then I would object, even the posts they edited were posts that are very contrary to my views.

To insult someone's faith is wrong, but to stop someone expressing an opinion against another faith worse, it is fascism.

Theproofhouse - Rereading my last post I just realised that the last paragraph may be seen as an inference that you are a fascist. It was not meant that way. Sorry.

OK, all this religion is getting far too serious so check this out

|bow| Worship my Winchester

That's all I have to say on the subject now, we all have our opinions and this is getting far to deep.

Laters

Nice vibrators

Guess the one that you are holding is for playing Is There A God type sex games.

A moment of sanity in a crazy world - lol

The pope is just an old guy. Take it easy on him, lol. If the media's talking 24/7 about his toilet problems, that's not the pope's fault. That's the damn media's fault and people who watch TV who makes CNN and FOX think reporting on the pope will make them more $$$$

Mostly I use them when I feel a need to cry our 'Oh my god'

But I do seem to have quite a collection now!

Sharing is caring, honest

It's not loaded - but I know how to use it!

lol

It does seem that there is a lot of hostility here. I've always thought that religion is a way to control the population just like politics. While it's all about power and money, many people need the service in order to make sense of their own lives, get some direction and to not become a complete danger to society. I know a lot of very religious people that without the fear of going to hell would not hesitate to rape, steal or kill.

Is The Pope doing anything different then a typical US politician? Isn't he just trying to keep his folks in power? At least he's not killing anyone at the moment.

Hostility at this level always makes me nervous and it doesn't matter if it's the religious folks feeling towards us or our feelings towards them.

And NO, I don't believe in most of what the church states but I think if they didn't fill people with fear and a little hate then those people would destroy the world very quickly so it's needed.

A grimoire is simply a "witch's bible". I get the impression from non-pagans that it has been primarily connected with the black arts, but modern witchcraft simply views it as a book in which a practitioner keeps their spells (and not all spells are evil or designed to do harm, BTW), notes, rituals, private thoughts, etc.

Personally I haven't corrupted jack, but that's just me. |cool|

Incidentally, the "grande grimoire" I'm sure many have heard about is nothing more than a grimoire held by the head of a coven. In the old days, these books were guarded with one's life and well hidden to avoid discovery by those who labeled witchcraft "heresy" and would have killed to make it go away.

And that's the last comment I have on this topic as I have far bigger fish to fry on this chilly Thursday afternoon. So much work, so little time... |peace|

Thanks

Umm, I mean thanks for replying, NOT thanks for it being your last comment.

I am a Catholic but I dont agree with what the Holy Father said
I think he wont be saying very much more on the subject since he is breathing through a tube now :(

Is he dead yet?

No he can't be because the morning news is going on and on and on about what he ate and other endless dribble on the pope's death watch.

I hope he lives on and one in prolonged medically assisted living hell. Maybe then he will have had time to think about a individual's right to die.

And in other news Jesus remains dead…

are you sure? he pops up in vegetables, potato chips, windows, and wooden door grain at least once a month

Morning news is going on and on about the pope. And this thread is going on and on about the pope :)

just a quick update, the news just reported that the pope ate breakfast this morning, I guess he was hungry

Hostile? Me?
No way
If you want to see hostile posts, then just read the whole thread.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't calling you hostile. He was agreeing with you, somewhat.

The rest of us are hostile.:D
