I'm starting a business as a professional tarot reader but don't know what portion of my wardrobe to wear for readings. Should I be in business casual, jeans and t-shirts or peasant blouse and skirts?

Honest answers. Don't say you should stick to what your parents taught you if it doesn't fulfill you. Also be honest if you are still searching but wish to answer your opinion.

Have you met atheists who fight as hard to insist that their way is the only right way? Are they as bad as the religious versions who insist you must follow their brand of religion?

This is for all faiths. Who is the God you first think of if any when someone uses the generic term?

Another question that was up had me thinking about this and why some Christian groups are so against Pagans doing charity publicly. Does my making donations to local charities mean I am seen as a "good Christian"? Or does my being pagan invalidate any good works I do simply because of my faith? Opinions are welcome. Bible thumping is not.

Why or why not?

and please read the whole page before answering.

Is it better to have the answers to the major questions or simply to be asking them? Such questions as what is the meaning of life, or the purpose of death.

If you did not have good non-fiction reference books to use. What lessons would you attempt to teach from them?

Please explain why or why not.

To be very clear, this means defending the religion, faith or lack thereof without using holy texts like the Christian Bible, the Koran, the Torah, the text written by the Flying Spaggetti Monster, or even non-holy text like science textbooks. Also teaching by religious figures, unless it is yourself is disallowed. You do not actually have to defend the faith, for I do not care what it is as long as it is what you chose to live with and fulfils your needs. I just wish to know if you could defend why you have it(not have it) at need without drawing upon outside sources, beyond personal experience.

Oh and yes I know this type of question will upset some, but I am curious if any would find it possible. The question is asked so that I may have answers.

Recently I was nice enough to help a teacher out and gave a lecture on my faith, Wicca. When I opened for questions, a few Christians seemed unable to ask for clarification with out using the major tool of their faith, the Bible or understand that beyond the lessons the stories can teach I have no faith in it. Why is this?

Also before anyone jumps on me for teaching my religion to a class. It was a college elective entitled, People and Religion, and the class covers religions from across the globe, including Christianity, Buddism, Islam, Druidry and Hindu to name a few. Oh, and yes I have read the Bible and think some of the stories are good to learn something from. Only to me it is not the "Word of God" but that of many men.

After watching an episode of Sesame Street where Elmo gets a new band together, I find myself wondering why the grey haired gentleman looks so familiar. Does anyone know the name of the actor and what he has stared in? He is refered to as Milo's grandfather and Gordon's dad.
