Religion & Spirituality > Wicca & Witchcraft Magic as compared to prayer: 1 of 20
As one who has lived and studied both wicca and Christian religions, I'd say there are remarkable similarities and significant (though subtle) differences. To start, I'll discuss similarities. Both require a certain amount of time, can be two seconds or 24 hrs or even nine days (for example a novena). Both can be done at spe... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Cartoons vs. anime: 1 of 17
Not only is this a difference of cultures (United States v. Japan), but there's a huge difference where it comes to variety... Cartoons; such as Disney & Dreamworks are very simple-light hearted comedies, whereas anime is typically much more in depth philosophical thought on morals, ethics, life, mortality, religion and the ...

Religion & Spirituality > Catholicism Why you should confess your sins: 4 of 62
Confess sins; Hmmm, seems all Christians (catholic and protestant) believe that it's part of a healthy relationship with Christ. The only thing that varies is whether or not you need a priest to "eavesdrop" on the conversation between you (the sinner) and God. Sin is where we do something that, at least temporarily, harms ou... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Catholicism What it means to be a Catholic Christian: 1 of 14
As a Cradle Catholic, yes I was baptized as an infant and had all the initial sacraments. At the time, I didn't fully understand what was going on. I mean, what 9 year old fully understands sin when he does his first confession? That's how most things are taught in life and religion is no exception. From a very early age, I ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Finding the right religion: 3 of 27
Finding the "Right religion".... Now there's a touchy subject, as this can be viewed as an offensive or subjective question. Offensive, if you look at it in the sense of the absolutist; in other words "this is THE only right religion, all others are false, wrong or evil". Then there's the less offensive interpretation of thi... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Can we clone a human soul?: 2 of 15
Even if we could ever clone a human body (which I sincerely hope and pray we never do), it would be impossible to clone a human soul or personality. Those things aren't made or reproduced scientifically or physically, but by life and emotional experience. Take two identical twins for example: they're both from the same place... More..
Religion & Spirituality > New Age Therapies Comparing New Age healers to Christian healers: 3 of 18
Basically, these two are one and the same. The only big difference is the name we give to the "spiritual source" of the healing. For the Christian healer, they are basically (though they wouldn't put it in so many words of course) channeling Christ's healing powers through their own presence/action. In other words "acting fo... More..
Entertainment > Characters & Personalities Why I love Simon Cowell: 7 of 36
What's not to love about the guy? I mean he's a breath of fresh air when it comes to his honesty; seriously, how often do you see a guy as blatantly honest as Simon on any TV show where you have a competition. As much as I like the host of Survivor, Jeff Probst (wonderful show by the way and the host does a wonderful job), I... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Can man ever be God?: 3 of 13
Can man ever be God? Now that`s a VERY scary thought! Imagine how messed up the world would be if anyone of us could become "God for a day" or "God forever". I'll be the first to admit that as God or even a minor deity (if you believe in a pantheon of gods & goddesses), i`d definately botch up the whole world a lot worse... More..
Entertainment > Characters & Performances Who would win in a lightsaber duel: Darth Vader or Darth Maul?: 9 of 38
Are you kidding me? Of course Lord Vader would win in that duel. Maul doesn't have a tenth the skill with the Force that Darth Vader has. All that Darth Maul did was the straight lightsaber fight. By that I mean he didn't use display abilities with the Force to fight Obi Wan and Qui Gon Jin, he just used the double ended sab... More..
