Oh, and by the way, I also play drums at a Christian church. If you can believe it, I agree with almost everything they believe, with the two minor exceptions of the anthropomorphication of the immutable forces of nature into a silly character of obvioulsy human-based design, and the deification of a mortal man who had a simple message that is almost universally ignored by those who use his name as an excuse for their selfish actions. Just those two things. Well, also anything else that is derived from these misunderstandings.

But, really, I agree with almost everything else, except just those two things. And their derivatives.

Really. Somewhere in there is the same basic message you can get from any other source, you just have to peel away about a thousand layers of bureaucracy, entrenched social injustices, political motivations, machinations for total domination of the male gender, etc.

But there's good stuff in there. Under all that. Really.

TRUE DAT!

Yes, but without the cruet of imitation maple syrup.

I'm a Pagan, practicing Wicca, with distinct Druidic tendencies.

The religion of Abraham, The religion of Moses, the religion of Jesus, the religion of Muhammad. The religion of Islam.

The answer to the first three is Jewish and the answer to the last two is Islam.

I remember one time I was in a store and the salesman, who it turns out was also Jewish, called me a landsman. I'd never heard the phrase before, so it took me a few seconds to figure it out.

BTW, noone has ever called me the "K" word (that I know of).

Kike? A name I'd never heard till in army. Me I'm just an asshole. bb

I have never heard anyone called a kike in person, must be a yankee thing.

I agree completely...

If you're really feeling left out, I'll try to remember to fix that the next time I see you. ;)

Well he used to have sex to the rhythm of the church bells, but the ice cream man drove by and it killed him.

I don't have a religion. That dosn't mean don't believe in angels. It dosn't mean I believe in gods or god.

I believe in nature and that animals have the same right to be alive in a next life as we do. I believe in magic but abor excess.

I guess I am subscribing to the doctorin of a mid life changing point.
Life is good===what do I do with the rest of my life? Not looking for a religion that's for damn shore.
