"Battleground God"

[John McCollum]

Pretend all you like, Tony...E-budo and it's dog knows you're the world's biggest Star Wars geek! Incidentally, I would consider it a great honour to be compared to the hero Ackbar. How he touched my soul with his compassionate warnings. (Arrgh! It's a trap! That thing is operational!)

When I 'twere lad, time was, we never had nowt for this deity business. We walked to school--uphill both ways--barefoot through t'snow, with only our Bibles and Hovis sandwiches for comfort. Yoy yungguns t'day, don't know yer born. All these choice of gods; time was, we had nowt bunt one god, and 'twere right thankful for it, we were. Go arn, off wit' yer!

Hmmmm, Paganism eh? you want full explanations? I think i need a bigger forum. Not to mention twenty years study time.

I'll let you know what i am, I'm a Druid... Strange as it sounds it's just right to me, i never really believed in one infallible god, or in some higher being that controls everything. I simply believed in what i could see and feel. that and i guess my love of nature and my surroundings (what with living in a very nice wooded and old area) brought that on. i would say my love of history and archeology(sp?) helped too, i wanted to know about the Celts and what drove them. i've looked at alot of reference material like books, reports, websites et cetera and it took over a year and a half before i made any concious decision. i dunno people say i'm wierd i say what the hell, i believe what i believe.

still you've got to believe in something right? if you didnt where would you get principles from?

See my earlier comments on that.
But, Pete, you've told us you're a druid, but you still haven't explained the tenets of your creed. Do you pray? To what? How? etc., etc. I want the mechanics, please.

[yamatodamashii]

No prob. Personally, I like what I've seen of OBOD as an organization. How far are you from Ovate?

[PeterNicholson]

OK - one direct hit, although I plead poor wording. Playing with the back buttons the second time through shows that whichever response I made at that point would have been a hit, despite, on review, a consistent set of answers.

[yamatodamashii]

Then you might wish to e-mail them. Did you read the FAQ? It also deals with several other complaints mentioned on this thread. Although I don't think it deals with complaint "I bit a bullet because I was answering like someone else."
