I was reading the other day that Ron Paul's major contributors are racists and that newsletter he was involved in made anti-semitic comments...is this true?

My understanding is that is comes from a Greek symbol for Christos or Christ and not as an attempt to X out Jesus.

I just wanted to say that so that I include all of mankind...mono and polytheistic religions.

I question this concept of sexual orientation....what if its more like sexual preference? How many gay/lesbians have had heterosexual relationships and even kids? At least for men there would have to be some kind of sexual stimulation in order impregnate the mother.

I know many people( male and female ) who run around trying to figure out what they are? am i gay/bi/straight....if it shouldn't matter then why do people work so hard to find a label that fits them.

Aerosmith has a great line in a song, "Never judge who you're going to love by your lover"

Your 'religion' was founded by a Freemason and structured based off of Freemasonry?

That self-initiation is not valid for real Wiccan covens. It is an initiatory system with specific structure and degrees that can only be conferred by 'higher' Wiccans.

That it's structure is also based off of Christianity in order to make it more palatable to straying Christians.

That its philosophy is based off of Aliester Crowley and Thelema.

For those Christians that were saved later in life( after childhood ). What was it that finally broke the camels back, a traumtic event?, a revelation? I really want to know.

But who asked him to? Who said that wanted him to take my sins? I choose to the tree of knowledge rather than the crook of a Shepard.

Why did Malcom X put away racism and violence after returning from Mecca? This would be also when he turned away from the teachings of NOI and accepted true Islam.

It's use goes back many centuries.

The fact that Mother Theresa was an atheist for the last 50 years of her life during which she was considered the most compassionate person in the world.

The fact is most practitioners and books about tarot will tell you NOT to use them for divination...

...there goes the Christian excuse for the inherent "evil"

I have read a little about NOI and from what I can see it is nothing like any other sect of Islam. In fact it seems to distort the original Islamic beliefs for political reasons. Any comments?

I got to thinking that if G-d is Omnipotent and Omiscient then one would assume that he already knows what you want and what is best for you and what is actually going to happen. So, to prayer anything but the Lord's prayer would be questioning G-d's judgment...right?

By technical definition even if you believe the Christian story still places G-d as an alien.

Definition of an alien-Belonging to, characteristic of, or constituting another and very different place, society, or person;

It seems to me that the Southern Baptists that spend the whole service up and dancing around in order to be filled with the Holy Spirit are very similar to the VooDoo practice of exciting oneself to the point the spirit you are trying to contact fills you and you become possessed with the spirit. Is there any evidence to suggest this link?

Enochian is a system of ritual magick that is based off Christian symbolism and meaning, in fact the Enochian language is said to be the language of the angels.

I am asking to get opinions of others who have attended or practiced a gnostic mass as laid out by the Elccesia Gnostica Catholica

All thelemites are familiar with this phrase but how many actually know what it means? It can be found within the text of Liber al vel Legis or Book of the Law.

It seems to be that fundamentalists always have pat simple answers that neither answer or even address the issues of the initial question. ex. Because that's what Crowley said in MWT. Or Jesus said so.

I don't mind having intelligent conversation with many people but in order have a conversation you have to become involved in the conversation.

I try to be objective but these zealots seem determined that I am simply trying to attack them.
