Foolish attempt? Are you saying that faith in oneself and in one's belief is foolish? You are condeming me for what I believe? Who are you to judge me? In my humble opinion, Religion is not just something you go listen to a preacher or priest talk about. There is a deeper meaning. It is felt in your heart, mind, and soul. You can think whatever you want about me, I don't care. As long as I believe that my religion is right for me and it makes me happy, nothing anyone thinks or says makes a difference. People have every right to practice whatever religion they believe. You can think I'm foolish if you want, but how will you know how foolish I am until you feel what I feel, see what I see, and do what I do? Religions are based on faith. Whatever I want to practice or worship IS possible as long as I have faith in it. Think I'm foolish all you want, your opinion of my faith doesn't matter.
I never said that homosexuality has NOTHING to do with religion. Go back and read. I said that Religion has nothing to do with GLO's, not homosexuality. I also never made religous refrences to anything. I asked what people would do if they found out a member was a witch. I then gave a background of the basic religion most witches follow, so as not to mislead anyone. You obviously have misread something, so I urge you to go back and read again. I reread the posts I wrote so as to see what you might have thought. Yes, I did quote a passage from the BIBLE. However, I did NOT bring the religious part into this conversation. If you go back and read, I only stated first that sexual prefrence has nothing to do with GLO's, then, someone else brought in the religious aspect. When they became negative and began judging, I countered their response with the passage. I did not make religious refrences towards GLO's or Homosexuality. I made a religious comment to an individual. I still stand by my comment that GLO's have nothing to do with religion. Neither does homosexuality have anything to do with GLO's.
Another thing. Christianity isn't a religion? What is it then? Christianity is one of, if not the, mostly widly recognized religion in the world. You're telling me that these people's faith is wrong? Any faith is good and right for an individual as long as it makes them happy. If you want to get technical, Christianity is recognized and protected by law as a religion in the US, so is neo-paganism, wicca, and occult beliefs.
