Dear Mother Goddess,
I really, just wanted to see what the reaction would be if I were to post this here. You see I am a skeptic, I have a scientific mind that does not readily believe things. Which is a real disadvantage in my religion. I spent a long time trying to find a religion that sat well with me, I was raised an Atheist and was introduced to the church in year 1. In year 8 I chose to become a Baptist. I studied the Bible, I prayed every night, I did not however go to Church as that was not part of my family’s life. About a year later I realized that it just did not work for me. It did not sit easily, something was out fo place. I could not quite put my finger on it, but something was not right. I loved the feeling of religion, just not THAT particular religion. It was then that I truly found paganism. I just seemed to sit well. Many people think that I am odd, or going to hell, or that I am worshiping Satan (I’ll give them the odd bit, but other than that…). It makes for interesting friends and an interesting time at school. You have to live with the fear, the perscution and the uncertainty. You never know how someone will react. It must be a great thing to be able to wear a crucifix in public and not get strange stares, or even have people cross the road to avoid walking near you. The problem is that, adult pagans think that you are going through a phase and don’t often take you seriously and everyone else thinks you are a freak.
It’s not really the way you want to grow up
The other thing that I detest (though I do it too) is pagans who complain about the way they are treated by the main-stream faiths, but then turn around and bad-mouth Christians or similar. I realized that some of the things I have caught myself saying could come across quite mean.I always say myself as a religiously tollereant person but, apparently not that tolerant, it is easy to complain when something discriminates against you, but so much harder to stand up and say something when something discriminates against people who treat YOU badly.
I suppose it is here that I need to remember the Three Fold Law… 
So, why can’t we all make the effort to understand BEFORE we judge, to know before we guess. Wouldn’t that just make the world run that bit more smoothly? I we want to be treated with tolerance and understanding, we must treat others with that same consideration. I know it is cliche but it is oh so true. How can I complain that people treat me badly, if I do the same to others. If we all make an effort, it can only bring us closer to true understanding and harmony.
What religion or race you are does not matter, we are all human and we all deserve to be understood.
So, dearest Mother, (and everyone else who may or may not read this) Help me to make an effort, so I can help others to do the same.
Blessed Be,

That was positive and plain awesome.
I pray for the same thing! The only way you can heal the world is to heal yourself.

Science and religion really go hand in hand, any real science coincides with the existance of god. The first rule of all sicence is that everything is energy, nothing can be without being energy therefore thoughts are energy and are real.
I actually wrote a diagram based on quantum physics and the energy rule of science that completely coincides with religion, it was pretty cool.
SOUL: science calls this your unconcious mind, your power centre, every thought that you have creates an impression on the unconcious mind, moulding and creating. A person who thinkes wicked and impure thoughts becomes the very thing he thinks about, his or her thought begin to show through on their outer countanence. As long as we live and have a body and concious thought we arte shaping and moulding our souls to live in eternal happiness or eternal misery, every thought takes us down one path or another.
Concious thought: councious thought is the kind of hear in your head thoughts that you have on a day to day basis, you literally create your world with concious thoughts, if you only dwell on pure and riucheous thoughts then it will make the garden of your unconcious mind one of flowers insteadof weeds.
WHEN YOU DIE: when your body dies you no longer are capable of creating new thoughts. your unconcious mind will exist forever in eaither heaven or a hell that you have created for yourself. My religion (the church of jesus christ and latter day saints) beleives in 3 degrees of glory which even better reflects what I’m saying.

So, you want to change the world, huh? You want to give people a religion, that “they can sit down with” ?
Religion runns by laws. So you just want to give people more laws to follow.
Try faith. Faith gives hope, faith gives patience, faith gives wisdom and love. Faith gives understanding of things, something you dont have right now.
Wake up.

i totally understand.
i am wiccan. yes that means im a witch. when i first meet people they ask about my religion and tend to judge me, think i believe in the devil. but i dont. i was raised as an athiest too and my father still hasnt come to accept that i am wiccan, he thinks its evil. i think we should not judge by religion but by people.
good luck.

Assalamualaikum
learn about islam and become a muslim
we believe u shudnt judge anyone only God can do that
but lol i no its hard sumtyms i think we all do it hehe
we believe that as our Prophet sa.w did u shud think of at least 70 excuses before u judge sum1
like u see a muslim cumin out of pub lookin dizzy like theyr drunk
(in islam its forbidden to drink alcohol)
but how do we no that the guy was just walkin on the street and sum1 attacked him, then chuckd him inside a pub and mugged him then injected him with sumthin to mke him dizzy..but nooo if sum1 sees him they wont think of that wud they??theyd presume hes drunk lol
also bout the race thing we muslims believe that : no arab is better than a non-arab nor a white over black vice versa etct etc, EXCEPT BY PIETY , so whoever more religious believes in Alllah and worships and prays to Allah more then theyre better
about islam:
islam is not a fake religion
think of it as a renewed version of christianity and judaism, (those 2 religions wer tru at the time but the words and messages got distorted) however islam is true till this day, the quran read that its never beeen changes never will be
the quran words are the same as 1000 years ago thats a miracle in itself.
believe in Allah s.w.t
we believe in one god, he has no son or partner hes just one.
allah s,w.t
plz learn about islam the only religion that is fully true
