Im going to throw my two cents in here, mostly because no one has really said what i have to say.

I dont follow any of the Judo-Christian religions, im solitary eclectic Wiccan. I do invact believe in God (God with a big "G" generally refering to Jahova). But reading the Bible ive found that his rules and edicts are too contradicting for me to justify following them, and when it comes right down to it, i dont like Jahova. I wont go into why, because it would offend alot of people and thats not what im here for.

Im a very logical, scientific person, so the contradictory statements of the Bible doenst sit well with me. Most people think it is very strange that a scientist like me believes in something like magick. But i find magick is a very good blend of science and religion; its a good go between if you look at it the right way. Magick requires believe in something that cannot be tested or usually seen, like religion, but it is brought about by strict, logical rules and methods like science.

Personally i favor the egyptian pantheon (Isis being my favorite) over other gods and goddesses, but thats not saying i dont recognize them. I feel that the divinity that permiates all things, the All, Gaia, ect. whatever you want to call it, is formless, incomprehensable and unknowable. But we as humans have given the All form and shape, substance and voice, breath and life.

All gods and goddesses are the right god and goddess, as long as you arnt harming yourself or others in thier names. Isis, Jahova, the God and Goddess, Thor, Pan, Zues, Bast, or no religion at all, they are all equally valid. Many paths lead to the same clearing in the forest.

I think many people forget the most important point of any good religion, and the Wiccan Rede sums it up pretty well. "And it harme none, do as ye will." I think we forget that all to often.

Im not here to preach anything, and if it seems like i am, or if im offending you, i apologize. I am just voiceing my views on the subject. If by some chance one of you would like to learn more about Wicca or other pagan beliefs, i would be happy to help you find that information. You can email me at tarsen@goldenwyvern.org or AIM be at ChibiTarsen.

Thank you for listening.
