Suicide and This and That .....
by Celtic inhow many of you have really gone through suicidal feelings, when you felt that no-one at all was out there to try to assist you?

' did you feel that such admonition was really daft and stupidly uncaring?

Are you doubting?
by YoYoMama injames 1:5-8.
"so, if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep on asking god, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching; and it will be given him.

Pagan or not pagan, that is my question.
by libra_spirit ini have been trying to figure out whether or not i am a pagan.. i looked in several dictionaries and now i'm really confused.. one says a pagan is one who has more then one god, another says that all religions that predate all existing religions are pagan.
