Comment on Christian activists disrupt Hindu prayer in US Senate by PhoenixRose

This really is ridiculous. In my opinion, religions have really gotten out of control in America. Our Founding Father’s wouldn’t have approved is a load. They built this country on the idea that all people have the right to choose their own religion, thus if the Senate chooses to open with a prayer {I understand seperation of church and state but lets be real here, how many Presidents have pulled the wholesome Christian family man card? Quite a few} then they should be able to choose and honor all religions not just those that are readily accepted.

Also, I honestly can’t stand people who refuse to see past the end of their nose. Christians who yell, scream, bang their Bibles and disrupt a very solem and respectable affair like this really have no class. I’m not saying we all need to join hands and sing ‘Kumbaiya” {sp?} but I believe we need to be mature enough to respect the beliefs of others and move on.

The Hindu priests prayer was both lovely and respectful. If you didn’t want to pray to his god then that is fine but you need to respect his right to pray to him, her or them {I’m not very familar with Hinduism, sorry}.

I’m sorry but this kind of nonsense is not the reason why I offered my life, to be possibly sacrificed, in the US Army Infantry. Freedom of religion is not, nor has it ever been, exclusive to Christianity. If those, so called, Americans had any sense they would take a hard look at the flag and realize that the true powers that be are Pagans. Each state is represented by a pentagram. The color scheme is pure pagan symbology. If these born again Christians want to live in a Christian theocracy they should go try to convert the Israelis. Maybe try by force…again. lol The USA is not a theocracy of any kind! If you don’t like it get out.

Is death also considered inappropriate by the religious too? What I find inappropriate is the fact that you disrespected people morning the death of a loved one. It does not matter what anyone believes in when they pass, it is time to mourn their passing. I never met Shawn, he was already gone when I moved to Salem. But everyone here speaks very kind words of him. I can’t say that about priests in churches. Isn’t it strange how we hear so much negative stories about priests molesting children, but no one ever says that’s inappropriate when it makes front page news. because it’s still under the religious subject. Keep in mind, your religion would have no existance if it weren’t for Pagans and your personal ignorance, and also your lack of sympothy. ( along with everyone else’s lack of knowledge and ignorance )
I do hope you find peace in your heart one day, as religious people don’t have, but claim they do. Blessed Be.

Let me state that all religions seem to be inane and strange to objective peoples. I don’t go around judging others beliefs as inappropriate because i cannot relate to them. It isn’t the substance of the faith that makes a person, but instead the devotion, message, and application of it to their own lives. All religions state the same basic message, which is to love one another unequivocally. When people can learn to accept each other for who they are, and what they do; not how they look or what the believe the world is going to be a much better place. By stating an objection to others faith, you trivialize your own. Jesus himself would understand that you are no better than anyone else, but he would want you to strive to be a better you. Whether someone is a Witch, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Pagan, Native American, Shintoist, Confucianist, or agnostic shouldn’t be for you to judge. God wants us all to be honest, loving, caring, decent and good people; and it assuredly does not matter what path you take to get there as long as you do. Some people are served better taking the road less travelled. To think than one singular faith is the only correct path is ignorant and narcissistic, and summarily it is an indictment on what you were taught to believe. Too many Christians fail to consider what Jesus would have actually done in certain situations. These are generally the same people who tend to forget that Jesus and the Christians were all viewed as freaks, zealots, and heretics to their contemporaries. To slight someone for their faith is not only an insult to them, but to their friends, families, and to the rights bestowed to all Americans whom were given freedom to choose any faith they like. You have the right to say what you want, and I have the right to feel sorry for you for being a fool.
Educate yourself.

Dear Colleen Gordon of Fairhaven:

If there was a local Bishop or Priest that died in the community, would it not make the local paper’s front page? Should witches demand that such an article be restricted to Catholic/Christian newsletters? No, of course not. Important people of influence are what they are. Shawn Poirier was something of a local celebrity in New Bedford, having founded Festival of the Dead in Salem and becoming the subject of reality show & movie consultation, classes & workshops, and other media from Salem, to Boston, to National networks. If you don’t like what the newspaper prints, take it up with them, and better yet don’t buy it. What else of import was going on that day in New Bedford? Did you bake a pie? Now ask yourself, what have you done in your life to enrich others’ so that you earn yourself a front page story when you pass? If you knew Shawn, he would have made you feel like the most important person in the world, so please, let him have his front page.

Much respect & blessings,
Akima –aka the crying witch from that front page, many copies of which I have in my home to remind me of my dear friend Shawn, his amazing life, and how amazing he made me feel when I was with him.

Comment on Waltzing with the wicked witch by Paul KIng

Paul KIng — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 19:29:37 +0000

I have always thought (before I had ever read anythingo the subject that knowledge was originally a ‘feminine thing’ and that witch hunts came about as ‘empirical’ ’scientific’ knowledge (a male thing) clashed with it head on. The subsequent witch hunts were the result of a desire (largely successful) to destroy it But this ‘male’dominated science has led us to endless war, te nuclear bomb etc and, as you say, thetide is turning and womenare now occupying increasingly the posts which were once predominantly male (female pilots, doctors prime ministers the higher echelons of management. I wonder if ‘genius’, the Russian gena for wife, gynaeocology, gnostic (relating to knowledge. Can the twolive togetheror are they incompatible?

I Love My Gods — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:18:24 +0000

Actually, Hindus DO believe in one God. In Hinduism, God is represented in different aspects, and according to whatever aspect you wish to focus on or worship, you use that “form” of God. This is where they are getting the idea that there are many Gods worshipped, but there is only one. Also, God in Hinduism is not male or female, it is both, and is present in all living things, hence the reason they do not believe in killing things or people. Lastly, the Hindu religion does not advocate pressing your religious beliefs on other people – all forms of God are considered as God, there is no right or wrong form of God. Hinduism is about PERSONAL spiritualty and enlightenment, not religion or conversion. Loving blessings to you all!

Comment on Witches need protection, says Sapra by Rowanoak

These times were going to come again..they have actually never really stopped at all. Throughout time we have been hunted down, and we have been killed; for being protectors of Nature.. lovers and learners of it. Yes, I agree that we must stand together; not to fight, but to preserve. We are not violent people, and have always upheld good judgement …against the ignorance of the so called civilized world. There is much fear in this society, and ignorance is the flame.. Let us be calm, and keep our witts … good has always overcome the forces of darkness. Blessed be always.

I can’t beleive that a hindu was allowed to open a prayer in the u.s. senate.Hindus follow 360 million false gods and goddesses and are the most cunning and two faced people on the planet.Hindus themselves will never allow a christian priest to open a prayer in the indian parliament.Being a christian from India i know how much they hate christanity and christians from the core of their heart but at the same time will be the first ones to go to europe,u.s.a, canada all christian continents.They persecute christians in india ,either directly by not giving them proper jobs or promoting them to good positions or indirectly through their WITCHCRAFT & BLACK-MAGIC which is totally embedded inside hinduisim.or u can say hinduisim is another form of satanic witchcraft and black magic.
It really saddens me to see that people in the west think muslims are their real enemy.ACTUALLY IT IS HINDUS WHO ARE THE REAL ENEMIES OF CHRISTIANS.o.k. some Muslims do become suicide bombers i am not justifying that it is right.but those poor souls do it because it is their religion which tells them to do so.But hindus on the other hand have a in born hate against christanity,christians and Jesus and just act to be very peaceful from outside.Inside they hate christanity from the core of their hearts and are always silently plotting the downfall of christanity and christians.
I know for the readers this might seem a bit strange but it’s a hands-on experience of a christian from india who has suffered the mental trauma and agony through hindu witchcraft in india which people in the west can’t even imagine in their wildest of dreams.
FOR ALL THE AMERICANS I WOULD RECOMMEND READING THE BOOK OF RABI MAHARAJ:-” DEATH OF A GURU” WHICH WILL EXPOSE THE MYTHS AND HOLLOWNESS OF THE HINDU RELIGION AND WILL EXPOSE THE DEEDS OF THE FALSE IMMORAL MAN-MADE GOD OF THE HINDUS KRISHNA WHO HAD 300 WIVES AND 16000 GIRLFRIENDS. THUS PROVING MY POINT THAT HINDUISIM IS JUST A MAN-MADE MYTHOLOGICAL RELIGION WHICH DOES NOT HAVE ANY DIVINE INSPIRATION.And such acts of priests from pagan and false religions like hinduisim should never be allowed to happen in the u.s.a. because of 2 reasons:-
1. Hinduisim is a man made mythological religion which is clearly inspired by satan himself that’s why their is so much of black magic and witchcraft in it.
2. When hindus in india treat the christians in india as second class citizens and discriminate them heavily in every sphere of life,don’t give them the freedom to practice their religion freely and don’t give them proper respect then why these two-faced people should demand equal respect and freedom of religion in america.
