Thanks for that smile

I'd actually heard a little about that before (from my dad again) but not in so much detail.

Thankies ^_^

In other news, I've been trying to get my hands on one of those little black scrying crystals for a couple of months. Does anybody know of anywhere I might be able to get one for a relatively cheap price? (It's so much fun being broke stare ).

Well, my World's Religions class shall prove to be interesting. As part of my grade, I am required to visit a Hindu or Buddhist Temple, and a non-Christian "Western Religion" place of worship.

That's pretty standard.

So- what "Western Religion" place of worship do you plan to attend?

Not quite sure. I think there's a few Jewish Temples nearby, along with a couple Islamic Mosques (sp?), although I'm not sure.

Since I dont have a job, gas money is hard to find, so I might just go to a Temple.

Welcome Patch.
I know of a place that sold 2"di black spheres for about $5. Very nice. They're in Rockaway Beach, OR.

eek They rebuilt the Temple! Man! Are Christians going to be pissed off that Yeshua isn't the Temple anymore. rofl

Sorry Phantom. Cheap shot.

The term you are looking for is Synagogue.

Doesn't look like it. Flamingo Jim's was the name of the place. But I'll do some digging.

Edit: Hmmm... this one is going for $15 at the moment.

Maybe I'm just dense, but I seem to hear Jewish people saying stuff like they have to "go to temple" or something. Thats where I got confused.

That and I completely blanked on Synagogue. sweatdrop

Highlight of this past weekend: Brother and sister-in-law came over for dinner, when my sister decides to announce that her dorm-mate in college is black. My "Catholic" parents both flip and go on a tirade...much to my brother, sister-in-law's, and my dislike. I made the comment, mostly to them, "Ah, racism at the dinner table, surely where Jesus would want it."

Got yelled at by the parents, but my brother slipped me a fifty before he left. xd

To be fair, race based slavery was scantioned by Papal Bull.

I thought it was overturned? http://users.binary.net/polycarp/slave.html

Quote:

In 1839, Pope Gregory XVI issued a Bull, entitled In Supremo. Its main focus was against slave trading, but it also clearly condemned racial slavery:

We, by apostolic authority, warn and strongly exhort in the Lord faithful Christians of every condition that no one in the future dare bother unjustly, despoil of their possessions, or reduce to slavery Indians, Blacks or other such peoples. [Ibid., pp.101]

Catholic sanctions are by no means my forte, so I could just be misinterpreting it.

Nope, you're spot on. I was just pointing out that your folks where a few hundred years behind the Church.

And I'm a bit slow on the uptake. sweatdrop Gotcha, now.

Nope, he's an incredibly lax Christian. More often than not he seems agnostic to me, though.

So noted.

I'm starting the prep work for SummerStar and given that we don't hate each other on sight, I'd welcome you to camp out with my group. Saves a few bucks on entrence fees

Sounds fun. Hopefully we'll get along swimmingly.

Man, I wasn't required to do anything neat like that! Wish I had been--would've been fun.

We got so snagged up in Hinduism, that we didn't even get to Taoism or Confucianism. I really wanted to get a good hold on the former, especially. Maybe at my next school.
