I've stopped going to the MYSpace groups that I belong to because here I don't have to put up with the shee-it that I saw going on there. I like being accepted as a thinking person with opinions that sometimes differ from others, we might not have exactly the same beliefs, but we (seem) to accept each other anyway. Thank You, Senbecc, for directing me to this site!Well, you are most welcome Lilaclady, and we do strive to understand each others centers of spirit and being here. Spirit flows freely outward in all directions, the spirit of creation lives in all things, in every time and every place within creation. We as Pagans (or any other religion) need to learn to recognize this, and understand that just as you can never know an individual through and through, nor can one ever know the Gods, God, Goddess and God (whatever you prefer) completly...The best description I've heard was actually from the X-files. There was once three blind men, and each were touching a different part of an elephant and asked to tell what they were touching. The first touching the trunk says "It's a snake!" The second touches the leg and says "it's a tree". and the third touches the belly and says "its a rock!" Religion and spirituality can be looked at this way as well IMO. None are completely wrong given what they have to work with, though none are right given the facts. Only by working together can they ever discover the truth of the elephant.
