the Quakers sound like kind people.
I agree, there is a lot of corruption among some ppl who call themselves Christian. My mom will never return to Church because my Dad used to bring my stepmom along to church with me and Mom when I was a kid. You can only imagine how mad my mom was.
And the most important thing is to live your life as a good person and be positive, peaceful, loving and helpful. the things done in the name of the radical and IMHO INSANE sects of islam are disgusting. I don't want to go there, but I also know Islam is not what this small group of people practice.
thank you for re-posting.

yes, although 12 is such an awkward age - mine was actually really rough. a few months after my mom remarried, and jr high was so hard for me. ech. but yes, a lovely idea.

That's when mysingle mom started going out drinking and bringing strange men home. Guess it was time(when my sister was 7 ) to start showing us what promiscuity was. She also was taking a course, so we were very neglected at that point. Always had food and shelter, but...from that point on it was seldom that we got a lot of attention or love. Sniff, poor me.
And I was very badly bullied and my mom did not care or protect me or even attempt to help me. Sniff.
And yes, she's still in my life, and we ahve a good relationship now that she's not my provider. You search deep within yourself(I found God too) to help you get through.
hugs for those miserable teen years. PS- high school was the BOMB for me. i was popular, went to school had a job and boyfriends gave me that love my mom couldn't. You never Saw a girl so boy crazy!

now I wonder how many are out there IRL, you know?
And I'm happy to see that Wicca is much more "light than dark" and very peaceful and beautiful actually.

if you want to e-mail me, I'd love to understand how not believing adds to your life. it's hard to wrap my brain around, but as you can tell, I won't judge you. You're all very dear to me, and I wouldn't ever want to lose that.

It is fascinating. i haven't read in a while, but I did take three philo courses, and am always willing to have an open minded debate. I do get a kick out of people who get SOOOOOO MAD when they discuss this stuff. i can discuss philosophy, politics and religion very calmly even though i ahve firm beliefs in all three. I am very willing to listen to the other side. In fact, i believe that's what makes me a great teacher. (I'm no Socrates, but hey...I'm also no Greek!)

Eh, you wouldn't want to be Socrates. He was such a pain in the butt that they killed him. Nobody's ever going to want to kill you for being a pain Shannon.

It's a different form of logic and it's great. i actually had a minor in philo for the second yearI think, of my BA degree. I never finished my degree, but had a major of Psych with a minor in English, or something like that. Or maybe I had a double minor-the second year zI majorerd in Engliush and minored in Psych and Philo...either way, I am pretty good at "getting" people. LOL!
