I don’t really have anything to say much, but to thank you for sharing this opinion of yours, as well as to apologize for the close-mindedness of my fellow ones, so to end this post, Go mBeannaí an bandia tú [*is hoping to have typed it right since it's been along time since]

Thank you very much for your comment. I wish it was content related. I also wish that there was some way to make you – and the other Christians who write these same things in different formats over the years – understand the context from which you speak. You speak of a religion – your religion – which has roots, most ancient roots, in a race of people who were subjugated for the better part of their thousands of years old history. Your god and your faith have grown from a shepherding, nomadic community in which women were property and slaves were a sign of wealth.

I cannot relate to that. I am not Jewish, my ancestors have not come from Jewish roots. In the very, very beginning, I suppose, we all came out of Africa. But my direct ancestors come from Ireland and Wales and Germany. All equally nomadic tribes with equally valid tribal religions. I would, at least, derive my set of beliefs from my own ancestry.

In addition, humble believer in God, you have no real “authority” to determine that my choices are not going with God’s law. If in your reality, all of us are never on the right path, then thanks for the heads up, and I agree wholeheartedly. But if you seek to shepherd me into the cool kids, “I believe in Christ” club, I’ll pass.

My post implies nothing about a “dark corner,” and if you opened your eyes and actually spoke aloud the words that I wrote, you may have realized that I was talking about that infinite connection to the divine, the one that we can never lose. I was talking about faith in an almighty, and about my personal and divine right to create change in my life for the better.

I pray for you as well.

It is interesting to read through a Wiccan’s concept of faith and gods and then try to put together a comment that does not sound like the regular sort of anti-witch rant.

Living my life in service to Christ means that I have to at least try to show you that the path you have decided to walk upon is leading you down a very dangerous road.

Let me clear up why I am posting this to you. Your sins are no greater than mine. I know that many Christians will come here and tell you how your particular lifestyle choice is the worst things under God’s eyes, but in reality it is no worse than the next man’s or woman’s sin. What is important is that at some point in your life, you come to terms with the fact that your choices are not going with God’s law and you should turn from them. He has given us all salvation through his Son, but that means that we have to turn from our sinful nature.

The Word of God tells us that in the begining, God seperated the darkness from the Light. I just thought I would share my thought with you and give you a mirror, should you ever wish to shine a little light in the dark corner you currently play in.

I am praying for you.

So. Adding my common-two-sense to your post (and excellent blog!) to say:

LET THE BEAR BE!

So very true… I had a little black and white cat show up at my house when I was 18 and demand to be let in. She became my familliar. Whe I lost her, I was devistated. It was like a piece of me had been ripped away.
I am now 26. I went into a local animal shelter and was accosted by a small black and white female cat. My Whisper came back to me… I can feel it.
Blessings to all

I know you only mentioned climate change once (that’s why it came up in my “related blogs” page) but you may be interested in my blog – it has to do with climate change in the context of ideas such as credibility and risk management. The post “The Importance of Error Statements” deals with a similar idea to yours regarding absolute statements and context.
