I've known three witches, one was what I would term "strong."
Unless A=B;B=C;C=/=A. Then I am wrong.

Well it had more to do if there was a woman one wanted to die one would just label them a witch, a women who possesses supernatural powers through pacts with malevolent entities, than with actual witches, wise women/men of some pagan faith.

Tell people that the names of certain people and politicians you don't like (ie Bush, Obama, take your pick, I don't care) are "foul language" and should never be said.

Um, back on topic guys...

Well, from what I gather you could pretty much create your own theology (Joel Osteen, anyone?). So what will be the basic tenets of your church, regarding sacraments, interpretation of scriptures, liturgy, human nature, role the faithful must play in society, etc (even if you are not a Christian, some of this still holds, even though the terminology is most associated with Christianity).

I guess all I have to do now is present something like this to a county clerk and I'll be able to run my own drive-through chapel.

Correction Brother Indri, that will not be accepted by the county clerk- it warns so on the certificate.

So, Black Kids what sort of theology would you preach? I am seriously interested!

Find Dick Cheney, and exorcise him.

I also heartily approve of the ULC inquisition targeting Prop 8 supporters.

I would preach that marriage is sacred, and everyone whether gay or straight should be married due to god being love. I would preach that everyone is able to redeem themselves in the eyes of the lord. I would preach that the righteous of all nations whether christian or not are entitled to heaven. I would preach about a loving, caring god that does not condone us killing or fighting for god's name. A god that lets us learn from our mistakes and lets us run our lives as adults instead of children.

You should marry everyone to everyone else. Then you should make long sermons on how adultery is a sin.

I tolerate it and believe that pagans and wiccans have rights to worship. I believe that through any religion that offers them peace, they should go for it!

Women were only really a big thing in Britain. In Iceland it was like 90% men who got put on trial and found to be warlocks.

Even if everyone else could be redeemed in jehovah's eyes, there's no way jehovah could be redeemed in everyone else's eyes.

my friend did this a couple of weeks ago, i thought it would be funny to walk in his footsteps, but havent got around to it yet.
though we are in the process of finding someplace that we will call his church, even if it need be an old garden shed, that way he can legally get marriage certificates and start the marrying process, such as drunk friend to a toaster
