Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

You're the one putting your responses INSIDE of my quotes, which makes it very difficult to respond to you. And I'm going to predict that the irony of you putting down someone for not being able to use quotes then being so poor at it yourself will escape you.

Anyway, you just want to put people down that don't agree with you without actually bringing anything of value to the discussion. The couple good questions you did happen to pose were an accidental biproduct of you trying to BLINDLY put down my religion. I have humored you enough.

Everyone I work with that cares knows I am a Wiccan. I have freely provided links as to what Wicca is, and have answered many questions even though I knew they were being asked so that gary could gain fodder to put me down with. I don't know what more you would expect me to do. Let me know how I can be more open about my religion if you think I have not been.

You can start by not acting so defensive and playing the role of the persecuted victim!

Be a man!

Okay guys, let's have cooler heads, shall we? This forum is not a place for a holy war.

Take it PN, this is you trying to be sarcastic and funny all at once?

Sorry, but there's been a few links put up by TW and myself...If Gary put any up, then it's because he got the information from either TW or myself and reposted from where we pointed others to begin with.

And I personally haven't seen TW respond as if he's ashamed of being Wiccan...Quite the opposite as he's done well in explaining his beliefs and Wicca in general.

Nope. I found the info for myself.

Not until I forced him to start answering questions

You didn't force me or even cause me to do anything. And Ali is right. You didn't even post the info from the Armed Forces until I mentioned about it. So all you did that I didn't do was copy and paste from a website. Congrats.

ROTFLMAOL!!! Gary's wishful thinking as usual...And boy, did I call that one....I figured he'd either posted something from the Onion or WhyWiccansHateUs or had followed either your links or my links...

Tell you what TW...When Gary starts justifying his beliefs, and I don't mean with the arguments 'the bible says so' or 'most people are this/that religion, then he'll have a leg to stand on asking anyone else to 'justify' their beliefs.

The simple fact is, nobody really has to justify their beliefs (or non-beliefs) to anyone else but themselves. Spirituality is about the individual, and as long as your beliefs fulfill you, then they're already justified to begin with.

And since this country does embrace the ideal of freedom of religion in the first place (as does the UK last time I checked)...Then Gary's asking anyone to justify their beliefs smacks of Taliban thinking ideals...Not FREE thinking ideals.

I'd like to know just what his religious beliefs are, actually. You think with as many times as he has posted in this topic, which is supposed to be an interfaith dialogue, that we would know his beliefs by now.
