yes i would condsider marrying them. ...in virginia if you live together for 6 (it may be 7) years then you are married by law but if you leave the state you are no longer married and if you come back into the state then you are married again.
yes that very well may happen like i said no religion has held the top spot for long before something comes along and takes its place and yes christianity has been in the top for a while but eventually it will change. and whatever it is that takes it place will have the top spot for a while and then something else will come in. as i said it is one of the fastest growing not the fastest for i dont know what is the fastest. and im not claiming neopaganism or wicca will replace christianity i was using it as an example. as for the gardian angel thing i believe that we have sprits that guide and watch out for us i just happen to call them gardian angels.
forgot to mention that wicca is one of the fastest growing religions in the world and if memory serves me right isnt the church losing numbers?? its just a matter of time before christianity falls into the minority again and something else takes its place. as has every belief in history it starts out low gets a high point then falls back and something comes and takes its place it is just a matter of time
i dont have any doubt that jesus was a real person and i believe that some things that the bible said happened really did happen but to an extent. ....i think that what they thought to have been the entire world flooded but not what we know to be the entire world. then there is mary who said that she would have a child ..even though she was a virgin ...now doesnt that sound like back during the greek and roman when an unwed female was asked how she became with child she blamed it on the gods. Zues was well known for that.
i believe in mother nature for i have felt her ( the wind, water,fire,and earth), i am a witch/wiccan, i have seen ghosts, and i believe that dragons at sometime in history did exist ( for how can it be explained that different places on the earth have a craeture that looks similar with similar abilities and powers?), i believe that we have gardian angels looking out for us, the living dead is just a bunch of hype made up by book writers and movie makers, and no i do not believe in satan he is a by product of christianity and has nothing to do with wicca.
anyways i think that health care, educatuion, and either lower the cost of living or raise the min wage to something that is reasonable, and to stop taxing the heck outta people. i know taxes are needed to pay off and for the stupid things the gov't does but honestly i think we are being way over taxed. jmo
hmm...now what i get from reading this is that people that believe in nature and all its power are tooting their own horns just as much as those that do not believe in any god ...was i wrong on this b/c thats what i got when i read it. if that was what you were going for then i stongly disagree with you
this is ment just for fun hope ypu all get a laugh rom it
Twelve Days After Christmas
The first day after Christmas my true love and I had a fight,
And so I chopped the pear tree down and burned it just for spite.
Then with a single cartridge, I shot that blasted partridge,
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves,
And very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves.
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The third day after Christmas, my mother caught the croup;
I had to use the three Frech hens to make some chicken soup.
The four calling birds were a big mistake,
for their language was obscene.
The five gold rings were completely fake and they turned my fingers green .
The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay,
I gave the whole darn gaggle to the A.S.P.C.A.
On the seventh day what a mess I found,
All seven of the swimming swans had drowned.
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The eighth day after Christmas, before they could suspect,
I bundled up the eight maids a milking, nine pipers piping, Ten ladies dancing, 'leven lords a leaping, Twelve drummers drumming and sent them back collect.
I wrote my true love, "We are through, love",
and I said in so many words,
"Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the birds!"
we ( my sister and i (i have 2 sisters)) would tell our youngest sister that if she ever talked after 6pm then the easter bunnie would give her rotten eggs, the tooth farrie would charge her to collect her teeth, and that santa would put her on the naughty list for life, and that cupid would make her fall in love with a toad.....she didnt speak after 6pm until she figured out that above mentioned were not real
there was this place in the woods that my friends and i used to go to called crocadile hill and we told the younger kids that only kids 8 and older were alowed up there and that if they tried to go there then the crocs would eat them b/c the crocs knewif you were younger than 8.
when my brother was about 4 i gave him a square and told him to sit and stare at in until he saw the hidden 5th side....needless to say i was able to play my video game in peace that night
Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand. The Senator asks him what his name is. "Kenneth." "And what is your question, Kenneth?" "I have three questions: First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan? Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office? And, Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?" Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess. When they resume Hillary says, "Okay where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?" A different little boy puts his hand up; Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is. "Larry." "And what is your question, Larry?"

Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House? Fourth - why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And, Fifth - what happened to Kenneth?
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a Roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if Anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by And simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did Anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a pe asant came along carrying a load of Vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the Peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the Stone to the side of the road. After much pushing And straining, he finally succeeded. After the Peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed A purse lying in the road where the boulder had Been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note From the King indicating that the gold was for the Person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The Peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
Fifth Important LessonGiving When it Counts..
Many years ago,when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital,I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of r ecovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously surv ived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.The doctor explained the situation to her little brother,and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, 'Yes I'll do it if it will save her.' As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, 'Will I start to die right away'. Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
During my second month of college, our professor Gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student And had breezed through the questions until I read The last one:
'What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school ?' Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the Cleaning woman several times. She was tall, Darkhaired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question Blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if The last question would count toward our quiz grade.
'Absolutely, 'said the professor.'In your careers, You will meet many people. All are significant. They Deserve your attention and care, even if all you do Is smile and say 'hello.'
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her Name was Dorothy.
