The meaning of Christianity

As a Catholic and learning pagan, history to me is very... upsetting, to say the least. I respect early Catholics want to spread the word, but I do not appreciate the forced conversions.

 I am also an avid lover of history, particularly early societies and religions in the west. So the Christian take over, which destroyed a ton of history and folk stories, does not make me feel proud to be Catholic. 

The continued hatred of certain groups - it's exactly what God is telling us not to do. And it gives people a bad idea of Catholic values, and that is the very last thing we need.

Christianity is about love, acceptance, companionship and family in the eyes of God. Modern "Catholics" who preach otherwise?

They are the devils among us.

  • winter coming

    winter's coming on fast — 
    better chop enough wood. 

    pluck the last fruits of the harvest — 
    then say goodnight to the garden, 
    resting under a blanket of leaves and love. 

  • Goodbye Whisper

    In the vet's office.
    My bunny, sedated.
    They are coming soon with the second shot.

    She had a good life. I hope she finds peace.
    I'm going to miss her so much.
    I love you, Whisper. I'm sorry.

  • in the "olden times"

    Do you think people 100 years ago, in rural Vermont, looked up at the sky, at the milky way, the moon and all the stars? Do you think they marveled at them, and taught their children the constellations?
