We're pedophiles of course. The ran...And Trans? We're pedophiles of course. The range of views in ANY belief system runs from extremely liberal to rigidly biased. And that's any religion. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hindu, Seik, and yes, even Wiccan and Paegan (not all paegan's are wiccan). Choices of who decides to lead and who we decide to follow set out conceptualized beliefs. Baby/Bath water. It's a matter of choosing wisely. When a sect of a religion decides the become more liberal, many members will break off, unable to reconcile the changes with their beliefs.<br /><br />Lastly, religion is a very personal matter. It is not the dogma, the pageantry, the physical. It is about one's beliefs and their relationship to the greater power. It is personal not community. We form communities of like minded individuals, not the pother way around. I remember and old comic strip. It was western based and had a Sheriff Rick O'Shea. Also a gunslinger. The gunslinger was invited to church but turned down the offer. Rick said how will he be saved (gives the age doesn't it), but the guy rode off. In the last panel you see him standing in a forest. He looks up and says "I like it this way Lord, just you and me". That was his community.Alissia Megan Rose-Paithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164580989960394362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190984333115275441.post-34649204865692104952009-10-07T08:58:47.122-04:002009-10-07T08:58:47.122-04:00Woops...its TRUE Light Pentecostal church, not Fir...Woops...its TRUE Light Pentecostal church, not First Light.

Walker, overseer of True Light, delivered a sermon through a bullhorn condemning homosexuality, and saying "leadership causes this problem to manifest itself"...Oh my,,,they are getting into Fred Phelps range! Thats scary. Phelps, for all his familys traveling about, is safely off in Topeka, Kansas. This is rignt here in our own back yard! Yeeks! Teke a deep breath and center, Dreamweaver - remember, we have a few members of the local pagan community that occasionally make us want to disavow the pagans! It's a purely human condition. One thing we can hope for is that Phelps' crew has gotten so far out there that even other Christians are embarressed by them and they have pretty much lost all credibility. If First Light (oh, there is an irony!) Pentecost Church keeps it up, maybe they will shoot themselves in the foot too. And we are safely ensconced at our good church, so we know that these extremists are not the sum total of our faith. Hang in there! And it's possible this is a back lash response to this city's recent gay pride parade. Every dog maun have their day.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378591363411441816noreply@blogger.com
