It's ok. I was just trying to point out, maybe I was a little too abrupt and nasty, that bashing a whole religion is just as bad as what Laura Mallory is doing.

I never heard that interview....now it makes sense. I love a lot of Monty Python's stuff.

Ever seen the Holy Grail?

Try reading wikipedia to learn more on different religions, but it isn't always accurate....

Yeah i love that film, i've got it on dvd.

I want it, but my parents refuse to buy DVDs unless they're new releases.

Grr.

Why is that?

Pagans don't sacfirice.

Just thought I'd set you straight.

They try to limit the amount of clutter in the house.

As we are all huge packrats.

Laura Mallory has a website.

Check Mugglenet for the address.

haha, okay...i did actually fet that from the Wicker Man film, but i guess it isn't accurate.

Paganism is a blanket term, many do sacrifice.

"Paganism" in the sense of a non-Christian religion is a blanket term; however, Paganism the actual religion is not.

That's neopaginism. Difference.

No, neopaganism is a different religion again, although of course it has similarities to true paganism because it (at least claims) to be based on it.

OK...

thanks for the info, i guess i will know when to keep my mouth shut about religion next time ;)

I get to have a debate in school.

On manadatory prayer.

I'm against it.

Thankfully.

Were you assigned to be against it? Or is that your honest opinion?

"I'm against it, thankfully" implies that she was assigned it, but it is her honest opinion.

It is.

What does a prayer mean if it's forced? And if it's mandatory, what about the other relgions and the athesits/antagonists?

antagonists? aren't they the opposite of protagonist? do you mean agnostic as in 'arent sure if there is a god.' Becuase i think i am Agnostic...

Yes, that's what I meant.

I just can't spell, so there you go....

It annoys me soo much how ppl can ban LiL Ol Harry and not Lord of the Rings. Pretty much the same thing w/ magic and all.. also the pentacle thingy kinda creeped me out when i finally remembered wat they really are hehe... but i didnt have any problem with them even though i am a dedicated Christian
