victoriasparda Thank you. That's why I ask, after all, if we don't ask we don't learn. The religion I follow is also very misunderstood so I can understand the way rumors and hateful comments from people who don't know anything about the religion can feel.

OK, I expected my star rating to start at like 1, but it pops up with my 100th post and it's 8! Does that mean the system stored all my ratings from before my 100th post and just compiled them? Plus, 100th post! W00T!

Why is it that many religious books speak of women as if they are property and not people? The bible says women should not speak in church, as though they are not human enough to have an opinion, it says women were made to serve...

victoriasparda One of the reasons why I'm Pagan, the Pagan religions have a lot of respect for women. The sexism was one of the things that made me abandon Christianity.

victoriasparda From my understanding, animals can sense the electric current in the air long before the storm is within view, maybe that's why he knows it's coming.

victoriasparda I've survived 3 tornados, I'll tell you, they are amazing but afterwards you kind of think to yourself "Man what I just did was stupid, that thing could have killed me!"

victoriasparda The reason I get mad about it is because the judgement veiws like hers are the reason why I was attacked due to my religion as a child, it's the reason so many of us are scared to let the world know we are Pagan, I know that comment may seem like something...

victoriasparda No, I mean, if it's how you live your life then that's your choice, I live mine differently and that's my choice, I just don't fully understand how people can follow a book that tells them to be under men. That's one of the reasons why I rejected the bible,...

victoriasparda Yes, before Eve, was created from the clay just as Adam was. Many myths have made her out to be a demon but she started as a woman who refused to serve under a man. There is so muc mystery surrounding her story it isn't even funny.
