Red Mɑge

What is it with religious organizations who shun homosexuality and molesting children, especially boys?

And why do they always cover it up?

... <insert something you disagree with here>

Generally I hate all sentences that begin this way because they aren't strait forward. I prefer people to just say what it is they disagree with and then explain why. This kind of rhetoric is manipulative and irritating. But for fun go ahead...

His questions really do seem more meaningful when I'm hitting the pipe.

Anyone else notice this?

Is it a real thing?

Are people wit DID just imagining it?

Is it a form of schitzophrenia?

Religious and non-religious perspectives welcome.

That's what i get for taking a nap during the day and then taking caffine before bed. I have to wake up in three hours.

Any advice?

I am married and have recently taken a boyfriend who now lives with my husband and myself. Things are going rather well and I have an intimate, loving relationship with both men.

Many religious sects allow polygyny (the act of one man taking multiple wives). Of course a huge difference is that usually in these societies women do not have the same status as men and are often treated as property (although not always, but usually).

There are also many cultures around the world (mostly in south asia and africa) that have practiced polyandry for thousands of years. These societies are always (without exception) very peaceful, and usually agricultural with not much land and resources available.

What are your personal opinions on polyandry and polygyny? Should they be legal? How do you think it effects the logistics of the relationship?

give him one of those little doggie treats that makes his tale wag?

Does it lift you up and fortify your faith?

Don’t you know that 400 years ago the 4 fiends were sent to destroy the elements of earth, wind, water and fire? The Light Warriors came and the saved the world against them and the archdemon, Garland. Are you atheists ungreatful? Why don't you believe?

How did Hironobu Sakaguchi create the universe of Final Fantasy?

This is my religion. That is why this is in R&S!

Someone asked this question today. For those who have an answer or comment be my guest. Here's mine:

The red mage could caste most of the spells the black mage could (fire, ice, lightning, bane, rub, etc.), but he could also hold cure and heal spells to back up your party when your white mage ran out. It was best to have him as a member of the party even though some people thought the black mage looked cooler. That is purely aesthetic.

Amen!

The big problem with ‘end of the world’ predictions is that they’ve been going on for thousands of years:

-The Millerites expected it in 1844.

- The Jewish social crisis of the first century put it around 70AD.

- When Rome fell to the Goths

- When Islamic armies swept through Egypt, the Holy Land, Spain, Sicily, etc

- The Black Death in Europe

- During and after the Reformation

So how long is this thing going to take already?

I actually wrote myself a note years ago and keep it in my wallet.

I can't remember what it says exactly. Basically all the reasons i love my husband and would never want to lose him.

For me it's mutual respect and admiration, not to mention love, and always being devoted to my marriage.

I also think it's important to do things together: activities, hobbies, discussions, just going out, etc...

What about you?

It had to have been about 4, maybe 5 years ago when the original R&S Atheist Drinking Game was proposed in question format by one member of R&S. The tradition has died down a bit, but you can still see the occasional "drink*" in some people's answers. So, the questions are:

A) Who was the member (name of their avatar) who came up with the idea originally?

B) What were the original questions that we were suppose to drink to?

ten points in it for ya...

or shares your particular beliefs or interpretations?

then why in Revelations does it spend so much time cataloging the signs.
