Here is an interesting philosophy. I've always liked this: The Nine Principles of the Goddess 1. I acknowledge that there is one Goddess in essence, Creatrix of all existences; Her forms are infinite, She manifests Herself in our love, and we are all Her lovers. 2. Treat all beings with reciprocity, for the Goddess lives in them as well as in us. 3. Tolerate other religions and do not compel others to join the circle of the Goddess: the Goddess will draw those to Her who are ready and hear Her call. 4. Worship Her by restoring balance to Her planet. 5. Eat mostly grains, vegetables and fruits, so that there will be enough food for all; when you eat thank the Goddess, the provider of all energy. It is not forbidden to eat animal flesh in moderation, but when you do so you must thank the animal that you eat as well. 6. In the circle of the Goddess create consensus while respecting diversity of opinion. On the path of the Goddess there are many paths. 7. In your home create a sacred space for the Goddess to please Her. Meditate on the Goddess three times a day, at rising, at noon and at sundown. 8. Sexuality is Her sacrament; enjoy this gift and bless those who you share it with love and affection. Remember that overcoming jealousy is the cause of cessation of the cycle of rebirth. 9. Announce the religion of the Goddess to the world through good works, honest words and selfless acts of beauty and love.

Yep everyone is free to believe as they choose. No problem from me on that. But im also free to attack their heretical views.

The love of God is what draws people to Him.. that love is expressed through His people.. the only God/Jesus that they'll see..

Dirtying the waters with more lies huh?
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
I agree. And I think you can explain what you believe, and why you believe it, and maybe someone might agree with you or become curious - or not. But I don't think it works to try to scare people into religion or to just tell them they're going to hell. That just makes people angry and upset at you. It doesn't change their hearts and mind. Jesus won people over because of his behavior and his way of dealing with people. They could just look at him and KNOW he was different from all the other guys. That's what we should do - teach people by our example,and tell them what we believe, and if they accept it - fine. If they don't, they have to go their own ways and figure it out for themselves.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
Yeah we should say wiccans are love they will go to heaven just like all the other satanists. lol CALL A SPADE A SPADE! They are satanists to the core.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Absolutely agree.. it's not doctrine or dogma that wins souls.. it's the love of God demonstrated by those who are called by His name..
Stone, I didn't want to get into this, but I talk to God every afternoon at 2:00. He says you are going to Hell and there is nothing you can do about it. You jerked off too much when you were a kid and now there isn't enough time left in your life to repent for it. If you don't believe me, ask Pat Robertson. He was there too.
This is still going on?? Do you think that God loves Wiccans less than you?
God loves everyone. However some people are going to hell. If the wiccans dont turn from their satanist ways and accept christ. They will go to Hell. Do you think a wiccan can be a christian too? Is anyone going to Hell or are we all going to heaven?
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Yes, and at this very moment Pandora is casting a spell on you that will make you accept the Wiccan Religion. The only way to protect yourself is to take off all your cloths, insert your finger in your rectum and run around the block three times. Scream "Look at me, I am free!!" as loud as you can to every neighbor you see along the way. If you don't do this immediately you will be dammed for all time.
I do not pretend to have a direct link to the Almighty. He is who decides whose name is in the Book of Life, I do not think my self haughty or self-important enough to even veture a guess. I personally do not know enough about the Wiccan faith to answer your other question.
You don't have to know that much about it. They worship someone other than Jesus. jesus said he is the only way. It is not that hard.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
That is where you and I disagree. I think that you must have some knowledge on a subject before you comment on it or debate against it or for it.
I guess for me the bottom line is personal responsibility. These folks know what the Bible is and who Jesus is, and if they don't want to believe in him, that's their business. If they're going to hell, that's not up to me, and that's a risk that's apparently acceptable to them. It's their choice. I don't see how you're going to change anyone's mind about that.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
Then why are you talking on this thread?
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
I was just trying to say wiccans are satanists, which they are. A lot of the debate was also on the role of the supreme court. Where do you fall on that subject.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
My goodness - you are so very full of yourself that is IS amusing! You seem to think that you are the Alpha and Omega of all Christian knowledge and truth. Pride goeth before the fall Stone... I will not bother to answer your silly question, as it does not warrant a response.
I wasn't expection one.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Sure be a good thing yous were not expection one...
First off, Wiccans are not satanists. Those are two different things entirely. I've met a lot of Wiccans, and they're generally very nice people. I don't have anything bad to say about them. They don't believe in Satan or the Devil and they don't do any evil rites, like human or animal sacrifice. Generally they believe that you have to take responsbility for what you do and think, as it will come back at you, three times (at least). They believe in nature and worshop nature spirits and such. Satanists are basically anti-Christians, who just twist Christianity around and are really angry, screwed up people who live hedonistic and selfish lives and like to hurt others as they somehow think this gives them power from Satan. Why on earth anyone would want to be a Satanist is totally beyond me. As for the Supreme Court - well, I haven't followed this whole thread so I'm not sure what the basic argument is. We have a separation of church and state, of course. The government cannot establish any specific religion (like the Church of England). However, I see nothing wrong with the government recognizing that the overwhelming majority of people observe a certain religion or tradition and taking that into consideration for public affairs or holidays, etc. That's why we have a public holiday of Christmas - because very few Christians would be willing to work that day. It's a public, govt, recognition of a social reality. I always believe in recognizing reality.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
*APPLAUSE* for a well reasoned post!
That is not true. Wiccans say Jesus is not the Christ. Just like the satanists do.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
No we don't. Can you please show me that in the constitution.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
So does that make Hindus and Buddhists and Moslems satanists as well?
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
Yep
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Okay - that was easy: Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
They key word their is congress. Doesn't mention the state governments. The federal govt only has those powers delegated to it. So congress is to keep their hands off religion.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Then I guess your argument is about semantics and definitions. Someone might believe that all non-Christians are going to hell, but that does not make all non-Christians Satanists. Satanists are just one sect of the vast body of non-Christians.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
Maybe i shouldn't call some of them satanists (wiccans deserve that title) but it is my belief that only people who accept christ will enter heaven. It is also my hope that everyone here will accept christ of their own free will.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
I thought you were discussing the federal government as you mentioned the Supreme Court. I suppose a state could establish a religion and several did during the Colonial and Post-Revolutionary days, but I really don't think considering the strength of the Federal government and ascendancy of the feds over the states, that such a thing would be allowed now. But it could be argued. I assume you're saying that states SHOULD establish an official religion, presumably Christianity? and which denomination would they pick?
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
Pandora, some dead indian, and ferret mike, all think that the supreme court is the final arbitrator and that is constitutional. lol.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Well, practically speaking, in this day and age, they're right. The Federal govt has assumed ascendancy over the state govts so the Federal constitution usually supercedes the various state constititions. One can argue (on a variety of topics) as to whether that should be the case, but it is the reality now. Personally I believe in vesting power in the states rather than the central govt, but one might argue that subservience to the federal constitution is one of the prices of belong to the republic. Of course, as we saw in the 1860s - no exit is allowed (which I also disagree with).
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
I'm perfectly aware that in reality the supreme court is exercising undelegated powers. All that group could spout is read marbury vs madison. My point was that that was a usurption of power. They all seemed to think that was the was the constitution was supposed to work. I threw in a few curse words too and capitalized some stuff.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
I agree it was a usurpation of power. However, if the states want to stay in the Union, that might be part of the price to pay (subservience to the Federal constition). I believe that states should be able to secede from the Union, however, which is the way they would be able to maintain their states rights. Otherwise, asserting states rights is kind of meaningless as the Feds will always try to usurp increasing levels of power.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
No, you are lying to save face again. But you know that. Let's go over it for everyone else though. You originally made an unqualified claim that states had the power to establish a state religion. Pandora kicked you in the balls by posting the relevant quote that showed they did not. You then asked her to show you where the Supreme Court had the authority to make such a ruling. She did, she referenced Maybury vs Madison and told you it was explained there. It is - that is the controlling case. You refused to look at it or discuss it. You then morphed your claim to say that if the world worked the way you would like it to work, your claim regarding state religions would then be true. Pandora caught you on this and told you that you were now being silly. You were. In this current post you try to dodge this other stuff further up on the thread. The problem you face is that this stuff is all there on the thread for the whole world to see. They can judge for themselves. People would have a lot more respect for you if you had a shred of integrity. Lying for Jesus is just as ineffective as hating or cursing for Jesus.
They do, and have had them. lol your so uninformed
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
She showed me no where in the constitution for that power. You are a liar. I already know what marbury vs madison was. It is a usurption. So you should be to show me where they have that power delegated to them. Not when they gave themselves undelegated power in that power grab of a decision. YOu are not being honest. You still havent found where they get lawful power from. You are with the usurpers.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Show me where I said that liar. If it is there it shoud be real easy to do. But it is not. You are a proven liar.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
I didn't dodge anything. They did decide for themselves, christine, jethro, methinkable all agree that it was a usurption. The first amendment forbids CONGRESS....you are making stuff up to say it forbids governors. Taken with the 10th amendment(do you know what that is) the case is clear. States can have a state religion if they so desire.
