Tonight was the longest night of the year Feast to honor Odin at the darkest part of winter (Dec. 22). Odin's nickname was Jolin (pronounced "Yolin", and from there came the word Jul (Yule). The old Norse referred to the celebration as "drinking Yule". The Asatru dedicate this festival to Frey, the god of fertility and farming. Evergreen trees and holly are frequently used to represent him. Commemoration of the rebirth of the sun with the Birth of the Divine Child, He who is known as Beli Mawr, The Shining One, Great Lord of Divine Fire. Here, on the longest night of the year, the Goddess gives birth to the Sun Child and hope for new light is reborn. The Birth is celebrated with games, merry-making and feasting which usually includes pork, the flesh of the sacred sow, and apples, the fruit of the tree of Avalon, the Blessed Isle of Death and Rebirth. |

Can you name one Evanglical that shot his daughther in the head because she was raped or It wouldn't be hard to name an Evangelical who blew up a building in Oklahoma -- or an Evangelical who called for the assassination of a foreign ruler.... for that matter, go back about 50 years and I could name some Evangelicals who hung blacks from trees in the USA. had her circumsised? How about one Evanglical that destoryed a shrine because belonged to a different religion? You are making the logical faliacy of false comparsion. That's a simple one. Mosques and synagogues are defaced constantly by Evangelists. AND... evangelicals are well known for surfing gay porn sites (see JIM WEST (R), FORMER MAYOR OF SPOKANE --- a devout conservative). You see I don't believe those that disagee with me are evil where as judging by your statements you consider anyone that disagree with you as being evil. Don't worry this is what, are you an evangelical? If so, I encourage you to review your beliefs. something a afflicts both the righties and the lefties with equal vigor. It is for easier to demonize someone's views than to take them on in a reasoned debate. Reasoned debate with say, Jerry Falwell? Pat Robertson? Or, perhaps, one of the leaders in Iran? What's the difference? I blame alot of this on the fact that our mass media as condition us practice bumpersticker politics. And most Americans eat it up like candy. |

You're the one with no proof. Sad, really. So many independent sources all pulled into one reference manual, and you believe none of it. Too bad, so sad. Wouldn't want to be you ... What reference manual? |
