Polytheist-Witch

Albert Einstein it's just another bigoted atheist so you're right, his opinion about religion is no different than anyone else's.

Still nothing to do with the fucking topic.

I have to wonder why the adults (atheists)  insist on playing with what they view as children  (theists) it's kind of creepy. 

As bored  s******* as I am right now I cannot bring myself to read any of that last post.

Those Japanese men still didn't want to see the binding of feet on men they wanted to see the binding of feet on women. Because they had a predisposition towards women and they wanted those women to be attractive and to be attractive they culturally wanted small feet. You realize that all you men are arguing that if your parents would have raised you different you'd be gay that somehow your parents dictated what sex you are attracted to. What you're saying is behaviorally you could be modified to like men and you know God damn good and well that's not the case.

We should all build concentration camps. Then we should pick who we hate the most and then try to fill those camps with as much of those people as. Whatever group manages to have the least amount in the camps wins cuz that group would be the majority not in camps.

Well Norse is Scandinavian. My family was from North West Germany. Some more German pagan the Norse. While the gods can be the same there are some differences and there of course regional gods that I worship that aren't in Norse mythology. Obviously forced Christian conversion sucks balls. And it was the training ground for colonialism. I started on a spiritual path, that path led me to ancestor work, ancestor work led me to the gods. So it's sort of a combination of traditions/ journey to truth.

I have to think about the other part of the post regarding myths.

I'm going to assume by belief system you mean just my religion because beliefs are basically gathered from several different sources as far as how we function. On that note I'm going to have to say a six. Much of the original practices were lost because of forced conversion to Christianity. Also a lot of the source material for Germanic paganism doesn't exist or has been incorporated into Catholicism where at least Iceland had the Etta's and that the Etta's give a clearer vision of the practice for the Norse than the German. But I'm comfortable with my current practices are appropriate for the gods that I worship and my ancestors. 

 I'm going to say 9 of 10 because new experiences and information have changed my belief from time to time. Usually in the sense that I add things to it more than I change or remove things from it.

Or maybe it's because men only care about what other men are doing because it's some sort of macho b*******.

Animals can't consent. I don't see homosexuality being offensive at all. People who are related having sex with one another is creepy.

Actually if they were going to add a new letter it would probably be for polyamory or polygamy. I don't technically think there's anything wrong with those and I think most people don't care either. Incest still illegal in most areas so I don't see it coming around anytime soon, thankfully. And bestiality will never be acceptable people do love their animals like they love humans which is why they would never tolerate an animal being raped.

If the Ukraine isn't asking for help then we need to stay out of it. Seems to me the US government is viewing it as an appropriate distraction from what might be going on in our own country.

No not Shinto.  I'm a polytheist, animist, Heathen and Spiritualist I also engaged in a number of practices that are considered witchcraft. I'm not adverse to that particular label. 

Literally the first thing you said to me in this topic after I posted. If I'm a polytheist that would mean I believe all the gods exist not just my own. Just because you people think you're god's the only god that exists doesn't mean it works that way for everyone else. Jesus is perfectly worth following but I don't think he's divine, and I don't think the Bible has anything to do with him.

Fact is something that's verifyable by scientific method. Truth is something that is true but there's no way to prove it. I agree religious texts are true but they're not fact. I believe that events and religious texts happen somewhere just not here on Earth.

I'm not sure why me being a polytheist means that I can't discuss religions or gods outside of my own pantheon. Like people just assume I've never been a Christian study Christianity that I don't look into the religions that I'm some sort of f****** dumbass that doesn't know what the f***** going on. Yeah it's okay for atheist to run their mouth about every religion they want to and that's okay because they are smarter than everybody else.

If you only want certain types of people responding put that in the initial post and I won't waste my f****** time.

It has truth it doesn't have facts I've tried to explain this before and people don't get it that's all the more I can say about it.

All religious texts. Period. 

Pretty much anything Paul has to say in the New Testament is Paul's opinion. And most of what modern day Protestant Christians attribute to Christ was Paul's b*******.

Schools are also groups of people so schools, religion and government are all the exact f****** same thing makes perfect sense thanks for playing. Bowling leagues are groups of people so bowling leagues are religions or are they governments wait they might be a school I'm not sure let's try to work this out before the day is done.

The Bible is a half truth. I don't believe Jesus was the son of the God of Abraham. His message is completely contradictory to the God of Abraham's. I certainly believe Jesus was tapped into the Creator. But his messages has been completely tainted by Rome. I certainly believe the Old testament is truth in that it's what the God of Abraham expects from His followers. In that sense it's as true as any other set of myths and stories that explain how a God is supposed to be worshipped. That said the Bible contains no facts. And I say this because there's no way to prove anything the Bible states is real. I don't think that means the Bible's false I believe the Bible is like any other religious text and that it is not fact but it's not a lie. The New Testament is a lot of b*******. 

Government isn't a religion  but thanks for your input. I don't know the Buddhist seem to get by without there being too much organization there.

There are crystals for that. 

There is actually less homosexual activity in Sparta than other Greek Nations and they were warriors because they killed efficiently. Why don't you do a 15-minute Google search on the subject and then come back and talk to us.

Illiterate idiots.

I've had enough of your bull**** today. 

I didn't say they couldn't post in the forum that was not what was posted that was not the question that was posed you people do this f****** s*** on purpose, which is why I don't bother either.

And now you insult my business. We are done. 

In good faith. You're basically your first post here was you don't really believe what you're saying so I don't know what to tell you. As far as Spiritualism there are nine principles and a national org as well as state/ local level orgs. There are by- laws, member criteria and dues. 

Implying someone is lying about their religious belief is incredibly insulting. I'm not sure why you would say you don't really believe I practice but tell me what your practice is. You're already basically saying you don't believe anything I'm going to follow up on. 

There are several different organizations that you can connect yourself with as a Heathen. The more general consensus on heathenism is the worship of the pre-christian gods of Northern Europe. Norse hethenism and Germanic heathenism had two different sets of books or written material that reference creation stories and things of that nature so it's not necessarily unified but it is organized. There is a general consensus that there are a group of gods that are ancestors from that area worshiped and it's a combination of written folk tales and archaeological study on how to do rituals. Clergy tend to be at those local organizations there isn't a national clergy. There have been lawsuits that forced the US government to adopt a universal Heathen symbol to put on veteran's graves and that's the Thor's Hammer. Spiritualism has been established since the late 1800s. 

So I stated in another topic that I a practicing member of two organized religions. And then was asked what made me think those religions were organized so I'm going to state why that is here. I believe the person who asked this question is confusing organization with size or mainstream. I believe what organizes a religion is one: there is a main body that establishes at first what gods or entities are being worshiped, written material, education or certification of priests/reverends, ceremonies involving birth/ death/marriage. Two: that even if there isn't necessarily a main body that addresses those issues there's certainly some sort of unifying principle where those issues are addressed. Three that that religion is acknowledged by federal organization to be tax exempt and it designated religion for soldiers and their grave sites. This would also include allowing people to have clergy from that religion attend them at the hospital or funeral services. Do you feel any of these are inappropriate? What do you think should be added to constitute an organized religion?

No I said people that are theists that don't seem to have any sort of religion are super special. There's absolutely nothing super special about my religious practice. Two organized religions are organized religions. Because the last time I checked I am here sparring with atheists. Because atheist don't just criticize monotheism. They believe all theists are inferior, mentally ill and morally compromised. Do you even read post to get put here?

Obviously they don't or I wouldn't be able to be involved in both. I don't feel like I should get into this here cuz that's not what the topic's about but I can tell you what they both are. Heathenism and Spiritualism. If you want me to explain both of those I can but I feel like I should start a different topic to do that.

I'm not a super special theist I am a practicing member of two f****** religions. 

Unless you're some super special theist you're more than likely tied to a religion. Atheist do not make personal jabs against people regarding their religion they make personal jobs against people for being theist. They had no point ever differentiate between people of different religions. They constantly refer to theist when making topics even if that topic is Christian or Muslim. A belief in God is a belief in God has nothing to do with religion to them. Still this has nothing to do with the topic at hand but thanks.

At this point you're arguing just to argue because you don't like me. And that's fine but I'm not engaging with you anymore at this point on this particular topic you stated what you think I understand I'm done thanks.

We already know atheists post here. The question was the theist do you post in sections of forms that would be considered atheist in nature. I don't care what your opinion is of here, I know how here works. Again  you don't seem to understand the question. 

Question doesn't have anything to do with here it has to do with other forums please go back and reread the question if you don't understand it I'll try to explain it better. And don't think I forgot that you're one of the people that's all for shadow banning. So don't pretend you're all about everybody being able to post in a forum.

I love how when discusding transgender it's always men converting to women just like whenever people discuss homosexuality it's always men and men.

The person was not some guy stealing your vehicle it was a professional hired to do a job. If you would have shown proof that you made the payment and the company would have been contacted he probably would have put your car down and left. Instead you physically assaulted someone which is a crime. This isn't rocket science and it's not the old west. Before someone says he's probably lying we have idiots like this on probation all the time he could be he could not be but I'm answering the question that was presented in the topic.

I don't consider a science forum an atheist forum. Atheists don't own science. And the two forms that I mentioned are not debate forums.

Besides here I go to two forums. One is closed and pagan in nature. The other specifically for witchcraft and certain sections are closed. All three forums have atheists who posted them. The pagan forum has Satanist who are as rude about religious beliefs as the atheists here. The witchcraft form has atheist but they just don't engage in the topics regarding deity because the board is very sectioned and there are sections regarding those topics and they just don't go in there. So basically the only space on the internet where I can go and discuss religion without atheist chiming in is the witchcraft board. I don't go to or I'm a member of a single message board, forum, I don't know what other type of boards there'd be or spaces where atheist specifically are set up to engage with one another. If this particular board set up a subform in religion that said atheism I wouldn't post in it. Yet every single religious forum I go to has them. I'm curious if any of the other theists that are here do go to those spaces and engage with atheists in their territory like they do here. Are there even spaces set up like that? I can't imagine there isn't a single forum on the internet set up specifically for atheists. I would like to add that at the pagan forum there are no Christians.  There are a couple of Christians in the witchcraft forum. But since most of the post revolve around spell work you really don't know someone's a Christian if they don't come right out and say so, the witchcraft forum also has a section for Christians in the deity area. Most christian-oriented posts are kept there.

Imagine being so jealous of people who had experiences that you have to come to a forum and talk about how you haven't had any, and that it makes you a better human being than them. I swear to God there's nothing more arrogant than a white man over 50.

Religious concepts like the soul have no place in secular law.

Again why is only the woman supposed to have self control the fact is abortion is legal if she has sex and gets pregnant she should be able to use abortion.

If a man doesn't want to be a father he should get a freaking vasectomy. Because it's the woman's choice to have the child or not.

Look at you yelling about choice. You're right it's her choice. If a man doesn't want a woman to get pregnant then he should go get a vasectomy. Because it was his choice. Do you realize the irony of it.

I did answer the question. Human beings can't grow new limbs it's against natural law. The Creator created natural law they can't work outside of it. Ask a question that makes f****** sense. And why are these people allowed to have three and four freaking accounts.

Child support is slavery but forcing a women to raise a child isn't? LOL. 

Of all the s*** that goes on in the world it befuddles me that people worry about what two grown adults decide to do in their bedroom. Like they're the biggest sinners on the planet. Not murders, not women and men who beat their kids, not people that commit sexual assaults. Two grown consenting adults having sex is the biggest problem the world faces.
