Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

Right, yeah. Jesus coming back to life. I generally forget the little bits that are actually kind of important. Like keys.

I mainly say wicca because i believe in karma as a guarantee that everything will reach some kind of equilibrium, i refer to the lady and her consort basically as pretend figures that mentally represent the two balanced forces, true i dont believe in magick, and as far as afterlife, i believe in a "rebirthing" cycle as in you will decompose and bits of you will be "reborn" as bits of grass above your grave eventually.

Donald- correct, and in doing so have achieved a better understanding of it, sooo Im not seeing where it went wrong.

Umm. Seriously, what is the most ridicule-conveying emote we have!? I know we have a lot, but I want to be concise, damnit!

Feel free to be disappointed, words are words. You said you're trained in linguistics, you should know as well as anyone that words and their meanings change over time. Why not screw up the "over time" bit?

Hey, you mentioned Jews on your list. Could you elaborate on that? I can't remember where the Jews are in the Bible.

The early bits? The whole torah part? Old testament? Some of that was probably redundant or wrong, but I know there were jews in there.

That sounds like it could be right. Do you remember what was going on with them? Like why were they in there? Jews is kinda vague for the list.

Disappointed? Son, I've kickfucked better people than you. You aren't so much a disappoint as one big ball of fail, as was predicted on page 1 by many, including myself. Actually, you've turned out to be quite entertaining.

Slaves in egypt, did the whole 'let my people go' bit, plagues and raining frogs, raining fire, and river turned to blood, followed by mass exodus and parting of the sea?

The sad part is that I'm in the top 2% according to SAT and state standardized testing.

Oh. I saw some thing during sophomore year that said they were jews. High school screwed me over there.

Quite right. Jews are mentioned precisely twice in the Bible. Once in Galatians 24:!7, and once in the Book of Enoch, though the verse eludes me at the moment.

Yeah those were Sumerians. Can't figure it out though, what the significance of the Jews in the Bible was. I'd look it up, but my copies of the Bible are in storage right now.

Define "karma" and "equilibrium" in specific terms.

Why is karma a reason to identify with Wicca?

You realize the idea of karma originates from India, not Gerald Gardner's anus?
