    Is Judaism really a race?

    Race is an invented concept. Genetically speaking, two white people can be just as different from one another as a white person and a black person. We defined races according to a very few, select traits such as skin color. However, being Jewish is an ethnicity. In general, Jews are more...

    Wicca with budda? Please help!?

    Nothing stops a Wiccan from honoring a Hindu deity. However, if you feel a strong bond with Ganesh, you want to ask yourself if Wicca or Hinduism might be the better vehicle for you. (And I'm not pushing you one way or the other) Regardless of your religion, worshiping the Buddha is silly...

    Pagnism: any of various religions other than Christianity or Judaism or

    Paganism is anything non-Judeo-Christian. Hinduism is most definitely pagan. However, many pagans do not self-identify as pagan because the definition is based on a negative. Hindus want to be known as Hindus, not as non-Judeo-Christians. People who self-identify as "pagan" are generally...

    Either put up with it or stop hanging around her. You've already confronted her. You've told her that she isn't being very good company. if she's choosing her BF constantly over you, stop feeling obligated to hang out with her. If she wants to hang out with you, she'll be forced to grow up...

    What country is the home of the Islamic Religion?

    Arabia, and there's no "technically" involved with our relationship with them. They are allies. They give us land for military bases on their soil. Get over it.

    Is not atheism a faith just like every other religion...?

    No. Atheism is a lack of faith. Frequently its not even a belief in a negative. It is merely a lack of belief. By your argument, having a dog, having a cat, and not having a dog could all be counted as "having a pet."

    Why is Scientology any worse than any other Religion?

    Less rediclous, perhaps not. My objections are with the practices, not the beliefs, Most religions do not demand you repeatedly pay for very expensive proceedures, and I know of no other religion that has an official policy of harrassing members who are not in good standing with the church...

    Do you get as much exercise from a comfort bike as a "fitness" bike?

    I'm upgrading from a lousy little Huffy to a "real bike." (shopping in the $400 range) The original goal was to find a bike that let me sit more upright, and I've found a comfort bike that is, in fact, really comfortable and upright. However, several salespeople have told me that you don't get...

    All the ones that I'm familiar with did...although they didn't necessarily call what they were talking about "Wicca" either, which complicates your question. The one possibility might be books by Isaac Bonewits. I don't have any of his old books but he's been supporting the "Wicca is modern"...
