You do know where this "greediness" thing will head, right?

People will need a NUMBER soon, as to what exactly constitutes greediness...one time? two times? three times?

Oh the insanity......from Freedomlover - who plans to do MANY things with greediness now!!

Apache Wedding Prayer
. . . a native American poem

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no more loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two bodies,
But there is only one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place,
To enter into the days of your togetherness.

And may your days be good and long upon the earth.

Welcome Serendipity,

I'm new here also. This is a great place to post and chat. How old is your child? I have two children and I'm trying to figure out how to "un"doctrinate them now. Was wondering if that is an issue for you also. Glad to have here, I've enjoyed my stay here greatly!

Christianity BEFORE Christ?

by freedomlover in

okay, was there really nothing resembling christianity before christ established christianity and the ideas behind that?

i mean, a lot of what the principles of christianity contain seem to be very common sense, such as loving neighbor, not stealing, don't covet neighbor's wife, etc.

do you really think the concept of christianity was so ground breaking when it did occur?

freedomlover

wow, great stuff guys, thanks for the awesome thread from Leolia. I have to print it off and read it when I have a few spare moments.

great stuff guys, thanks! IP_SEC thanks for the book reference, I"ll have to check that out.

Anyone have any good info. or book recommendations on goddess and nature worship? I've been doing quite a bit of research on this, and I'm interested in placing this in the stream of time, esp. in relation to Christianity. Thanks.......

Thank you Narkissos - interesting.....

Just to note : I am not asking this question to offend anyone who is Christian.

I guess I"m just really interested in what was around before Christianity? I've very interested in looking into Goddess worship or info. on when society was generally a matriarchal society. I know that was before Christianity - at least that's what I"ve been told. Just exploring religious history and the teaching of Christianity....
