Can she show you a birth certificate? Is the "child" covered on her insurance?Can she claim it on her taxes? No. Because neither the government nor any business would recognize that it's a child yet.

There are plenty of pagan creation stories that have nothing to do with evolution.

When he was given authority over one demon to cast it away from harassing the workers building the temple. He then used that demon to control other demons. So it sounds to me like he kind of overstepped his bounds. That demon also managed to take over his kingdom for a certain number of years. Which eventually led to his decline and losing favor

What child?

Servers rely on tips because they're paid less than minimum wage. I have no problem with them getting rid of tipping. As long as the servers are paid at least minimum wage. But I imagine servers would demand being paid more than a Mcdonald's worker who doesn't actually wait on customers.

That makes more sense to me than whether or not they can afford it.

Appalachia wouldn't mind the end coal production if there was something to replace it. People don't sit around going, I wish I had this horrible job where I go underground and could possibly get black lung or killed. They look at the income and benefits they receive as miners. Find a job that they can get that pays the same wages and the same benefits and they would gladly give those jobs up.

I have never understood people saying they don't wanna have kids because of the cost. Of course , having more mounts to feed is more expensive than if you don't. But there's no way to predict your financial future. And there are countries like the US where having kids can be a financial benefit even if a small one.

What i've never understood is if demons are evil, why Solomon was allowed to use them to his benefit. I mean, wouldn't working with demons basically taint you, especially if you're using them negatively.

Well we could just call it a time out. I mean, we're allowed to do that to kids.

I imagine it really bothers people who don't like theists to walk around all day looking at people wondering which ones are and which ones aren't. Or worse , just assuming everyone you see is and you're the only one that isn't.

What a weird reason to pick a religion.

I don't believe demons eat humans. Do you have any type of scripture to back this up?

Polytheism says lots of gods exist. None have to negate another.

When only Christians matter, even though there's nothing in the constitution that says you have to be a Christian to be a citizen.

It reflects a part of my spiritual practice.

Artemis seems more feminist or perhaps asexual than queer in that respect. Skaldi is the Norse "equivalent" but her stories reflect she's straight. Wonder why its assumed she's queer?

In some practices mirrors can expand energy or lower it. I don't care much for them as decoration. I have one over the bathroom sink and thats it.

Not sure AI has intent.

To think the creator of the entire universe would have wants would make it definitely below the rest of us.

Look up the Greek katabasis. Everything about Jesus is based on Greek culture/ mythology.

Well, there's one more reason to find the God of Abraham to be lacking. Can't controll the demons.

Sex is not either procreation and recreation. Unless you think rape, molestation and prostitution don't exist. Which might be the case here.

The stuff that gets posted here. 🙄

Satan and Lucifer are two different entities. No entity was associated with the serpent in the Garden until Revelations was written a long time later.

I dont believe in free will. Freedom, yes, free will, no.

When you look at the modern Wheel of the Year in paganism, February 2nd marks an important day in the calendar as far as planting and gardening. In the Celtic tradition it's called Imbolic. The holiday focuses on Bridgid and her eternal flame. It's a time of year when fireplaces are cleaned and lit to mark the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. When the Germans came over to Pennsylvania, this was the time of year when they began looking to the first animals that came out of hibernation to see whether or not better weather would come earlier or later. In Germany this was the badger. In the states it's the groundhog. Now, a pretty popular holiday and movie there is a pagan root in the holiday and it is one that I actually engage in.I don't do all the holidays on the wheel but this one is one of my favorites. For one, it focuses on Frau Holda/ Holle who I have honored , in some way , for 15 years. And two, it's a nice break in the dullness of winter what's right now is even more overbearing because of the awful weather. It's basically marked, for me, with a meal and offerings. One year I actually went so far to make a butzemann, a large poppet you make to serve as a helper on your farm that contains a land spirit. My neighbor has a groundhog under his shed, so I often at this time of year , begin looking for her to come out and start rooting around. Considering the weather right now, I doubt they'll be coming out anytime soon.But once you see them , you know that the weather we'll be staying good enough that they're eating and not continuing to hibernate.

Convert or die. The God of Abraham forbids human sacrifice and he punishes beings that have sex with humans then, he impregnates a young girl so her child can be sacrificed. There's absolutely nothing about the story of Christ that refer back to the Old Testament.

Christianity offers a variety to keep the most members. Quantity versus quality.

Nothing in Christianity is Torah based and most elements can be found in Greco-Roman polytheism. The most notable is higher beings mating with humans is strictly forbidden but it was ok to get Mary pregnant to give birth to the son of God? Demigods are a staple of Roman mythology. That alone shows it's not a Judeo based faith and therefore a complete lie.
