YES. The bible gets interpreted a million idfferent ways...who's right, and who's wrong..WHO CARES...

Thank the Goddess I'm a dirty Pagan....

I did not quote - thou shalt not kill. The quotes are in quotation marks, tyvm. I used a commonly known saying instead of a direct quote for the sake of recognition. If this is your big issue with me then I'm really at a loss here.

It's as if someone were saying something that your mother said, but you know that's not what she said and it was a subject that mattered to you. Would you not correct it and at least let it be known what was really said?

Do you believe that the spirits of dead pets hang around before going into heaven? I've been reading a really good book about ghost cats, where people encounter spirits of felines that came back to say "goodbye" to the owners, or sticking around and doing the same routines over everyday.

Yes, but something my mother said, and a book that was written a gazillion years ago are 2 different things. I'm not doubting the bible, or it's words, but the connotations of words change over time. So if someone wants to say Murder or Kill... who cares? We have no or little idea of what those words meant then and the connotations that they once held.

If I say that I am the embodyment of the Goddess, do I believe that the Goddess lives in me and "posses" me...No I mean that I try to live my life everyday to honor her. That although I am human I try to live a good clean life, and do good things for myself and for others...but the words technically mean "She lives in me"

All I am saying is, to enterprit a book written by God, threw man is a bit hard since we did not live in that time. So to allow for slack in the enterpritation should be allowable.

I understand your point. But just as something your mother says is very important to you, same can be said about something like the Bible to its followers. So the street runs both ways

And when it comes to definition, certain things actually do matter. To kill something and to murder something..well thats actually a HUGE difference. It's really not a small matter as a whole.

Again, I understand what you are saying and not trying to argue with you...just trying to relate this side as well.

Then one last question that you can answer if you wish or keep to yourself.

Would your God be happy to see you attack people who also believe in him simply because they don't believe in the same manner that you do?

Ummm would answer, but the question implies I was attacking someone.

Maybe you can answer this one. Would you stand and let other's believe your mother said something, when you know she said different?

With that attitude you will be arguing with almost every person you encounter for your entire life. No wonder you're so grumpy. You must be exhausted!

If I know the truth, what else matters?

I'm a pretty outspoken person, and the people I chose as friends and associates know who I am, they know what I am about, and WHEN people try to slander me or trash talk me...which happens alot to people who are outspoken like myself. Those people who are loyal to me and I am loyal back, know better, so no arguement is needed.

Those who change their mind about me based on what others have said, I don't want as friends anyway.

LOL..geez..what attitude???? And I'm sure that was a direct question for Lily. No one asked for you to chime in. Geez, at least I can get happy... but with your attitude and butting in you'll stay single the rest of your life.

Looks like this thread needs a Ref

Come on in lady..its great exercise! people coming off the walls in here.

And to think it all started over a little cute kitty cat!

Nope..I'm gonna sit over in the corner out of the way so I don't get trampled in the chaos..I'm in enough pain as it is..lol

OK, can I sit over by you? Will buy you a drink. I'm done with my rounds in here. I don't like arguing.

You're one of the one's doing all the arguing..If I sit by you I'll get hurt for sure.
