One of my very dearest friends falls somewhere in the moderate but fundamentalist right Christianity category where I am raised Catholic gone back to my roots - pagan. It amazes me that we can do the dance of acceptance but avoidance so well. I guess it keeps us both on our toes and we often surprise each other so it helps us to remember never to make assumptions. I'm glad you and your friend were able to tear down some walls.Laumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311615016374555526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-28331132067170775702007-10-19T11:18:00.000+01:002007-10-19T11:18:00.000+01:00Yeah hi, Leslie.

I have no horny horned guys in the MY basement because as Debi rightly points out, I have no basement. Please use those imaginations that you all so beautifully employ to write those lovely words!<BR/><BR/>Jon, no, haven't got a clue, no wicker men and no burning at the stake (steak but not stake).<BR/><BR/>G&G - I am half way to eternal life as I bathe all the time but I haven't got time for the ritual sex. And if anyone is thinking of reading this book, please be careful, it is very saucy. <BR/><BR/>Mr Soub - FSM is as good an acronym as it is for Old Beardy himself. If you treat the bible, and any other religious wordiness, as if it were a sensible document (mostly, and taking out all the wrathful eye for an eye stuff) for living a good life. <BR/>I am pretty sure I would probably like your God of the Flying Spaghetti - do they have hymns? I am rather fond of a good meaty hymn.<BR/><BR/>Scarlett, an open mind is essential. My God/Goddess is not better that yours, merely a different aspect.<BR/><BR/>Fear is the key, Debi, take away the barriers and the door is unlocked.<BR/><BR/>Oh Roberta, how awful. I send a multitude of nasty foulness on the perps. I hope you are okay, sending a warm hug.<BR/><BR/>I am glad too, Taff, it was a bit of a giant step for womankind sort of thing.
