Pagans as "devil worshippers" is a logical extension of scriptural default. Basically, the New Testament claim is that Jesus is the redeemer of all the world's sin - a tenet that sets up a moral dichotomy between Jesus-worship ( Christianity ) and all the world's other forms of worship.

Hence, if you're a pagan - or pantheist, animist, atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, Shintoist, muslim or Jew - you are, by theological default, being led astray by one of the Devil's many theological disguises - a clever deception he engineers to prevent you from embracing the salvation of Christ.

Though paganism has historically sustained much greater condemanation and intolerance from Christianity than many other more mainstream religions because nearly all pagan faith systems incorporated human sacrifises to varying extent.

If I distrust a lover than it's only because she's done something to deserve the distrust. Like the time I learned my girlfriend slept with a dude when we were supposed to be monogamous. I broke it off and found someone else within a week.

People who're looking for the important qualities will appreciate what you offer but those who make their choices based on what's exciting and titillating are gonna be turned off by niceness.

Also, a lot of women may have a natural distrust of the nice-guy personality since some of the worst creeps they've known hid behind a nice-guy front. It's like the old saying, "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know."

Or how about on home plate in a deserted major league baseball stadium?

Your best pics are the one where you're petting the cat and the one that's two pics before the one you're using now.

Implants might grab people's eye - but I'd never want to actually feel them. Big turn off. Wouldn't you be grossed out caressing a guy's artificial pecs?

Men like femininity (just like women like masculinity). However, it seems both are becoming increasingly scarce these days.

Never heard of it - but found this on YouTube after reading your post.

Thanks for the heads up - looks really interesting.

Yes - love is very resourceful, that way.

Love just needs a recipient.

Sounds like you may be more into her than she's into you. That's usually the case for the one who feels frustrated about knowing the other's intentions. Another possibility - though far less likely - is that she's being remote to set you off balance as a means of taking charge.

Congratulations, you've got the best icon pic I've seen yet. Love it - really cool.

Like everything else, you get better at resisting temptation with the more practise you have. Success usually breeds more success. Important thing is never giving up trying. It took me 7 years to quit smoking - but I finally did only because I refused to quit trying.

Any woman capable of loving and being loved is girlfriend material - and marriage material, and mommy material.

After hearing this song for the first time, a friend asked me what I thought it was about. Elton John did such a great job conveying the mood and imagery of the song I practically guessed the title off the top of my head.

People use to cope with this by getting married at much younger ages. Typically the marriages were hastily arranged affairs ( "shotgun weddings" ). Many had premarital sex but they got married as soon as a pregnancy occurred ( no birth control pills back then ).

which redhead to look out for?

What you say makes sense - until you consider the political ramifications of Big Brother. In the not too distant future, I suspect they won't want much of the "classics" (anything published pre-21st century) in the hands of young people.

They can't reach into your books at night and delete the verboten-think.

The pupils in their eyes will dilate a bit when they first see you. No one can hide that.
