Where did you go?

 

Most precious blood catholic school Walden NY , grades 2 thru 6 1987-1991

confirmed under St Brigid in the catholic church. She was the Druids Daughter.

Burke Catholic HS Goshen NY grade 9 1994

Chapel field Christian HS grad 10 ,11 1995-1996

“saved” in 1996,

youth conquest with Christ 1996

got the full dose of interdenominational bickering , was taught church history . and when to ask questions of my priest.. in stead of a faith based talk I walked into an exorcism.. denounced the church after that. Never felt it suited me something always felt missing..

 

 

began to fully explore my own path. Decided to just take a step back their and search what felt right.

 

Research Judaism lived with a Jewish family for 3 years .

Researched my Celtic heritage.

Looked at Wicca was to fluffy bunny.

Looked at Hinduism,Buddhism , Confucius philosophy. Closer but not quite.

Looked at native American practices was more comfortable their.

 

Found Celtic Reconstruction and the Druid path.

That one was the right one and now everything fell together.

I’m a devotee of Brigid, in the Dannu path of the Druids.

 

eleven principles or codes of conduct for the contemporary Druid:

1. Every action has a consequence that must be observed and you must be prepared to compensate for your actions if required.
2. All life is sacred and all are responsible for seeing that this standard is upheld.
3. You do still live in society and are bound by its rules.
4. Work with high standards.
5. Make an honest living.
6. Be a good host as well as a good guest.
7. Take care of yourself.
8. Serve your community.
9. Maintain a healthy balance of the spiritual and mundane.
10. Uphold the Truth, starting with yourself.
11. Be sure in your convictions, particularly when judging or accusing someone, but also when debating. Ask yourself: are you really sure? Do you really know that this the case?

 

What part of the Christian faith did you not agree with?

 

The condemning part. And the lack of self responsibility taken by many followers . The attitude of i’ll just ask forgiveness latter pisses me off. …Arrogant know-it-all christian assuming they know my heart . And the followers not reading there own bible and condemning everyone when it explicitly says . Not to do that!. Romans 2:1
[ God’s Righteous Judgment ] You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

________

 

It’s not your job to tell me I’m wrong.

____________

Romans 2.13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them .

 

In other words

even a non-christian who is living a good life is still going to your perceived heaven.

It’s the creators place to judge in the end if that is the end we meet

although at this point I’ll be on another reincarnation so i’m not going to worry about it

what happens happens and I’m going to live my life by the way I understand it .

Ah was it the God loves you part? <–arrogant

____________________
Have you researching the pagan religion?

I has researched the pagan religions.

 

________________

Do you also believe in the religion of evolution?

Something akin to intelligent design..

___________________________

What part of that would someone not like?

I don’t believe in sin ..I believe in karma I atone for my self and I’m the only one responsible for my actions.

__________________________________

Do you not see how the world is turning upside down on what is right and wrong?

Eh yeah but that has been an established conundrum of human exsistance pre-dating christianity.,
__________________________
You don’t see something wrong with this fact?

Yeah, that you can’t seem to accept the fact that I reject your reality and replace it with my own ,

My faith is just as relevant since we are not part of a monolithic world but one with many layers both tangible and intangible that can not be fully recognized by just our eyes.

________________________________

Did you know that the bible predicted TO THE DAY when Israel would be reborn as a nation?

Not true. It even says you will not know the hour.

 

I follow astrology but I do NOT believe to foretell the future or “governs ” anything on earth.

It is more like a compass, or how the tides work on weather, but on a deeper emotional level.
destiny is not set in stone because we have free will
but like the weather if you know it if going to be a 60% chance of rain
you bring an umbrella ,if the star charts says your in for a rough time , you put a little extra money in the bank… the stars are more like a reading of the general emotion of a day

they do not map out specific events . It’s really easy to say something was predicted after it happened .

The fact is all the stars do is lay out point when events will happen that are small or big not if they will be good or bad .

Only that something will happen that will effect a lot of people on thins day

and you do not know what that ids until after it occurs .

 

__________________________

Now just how did it do that?

 

It didn’t. You can say the same thing about any thing.. here is the thing about claiming things were predicted AFTER they happened. The perception is then changed .

I never said it was fake I said I disagree with your monolithic views.

The bible gave us the flood story. In that story said that the fountains of the deep broke open. How did it know there was water under the crust? (fyi still is) <-arrogant .

do you really think i’m that stupid and your that superior?
________________________
How is it the bible said that it stretched out the universe. Then to find out one of Einsteins theories prove the fact that if it was stretched out that time would of too and that if we was to look out into that space it would appear to be 1 far away and 2 long ago, but in fact would of happened in a short period of time. Just as God in the Bible said he did. (FYI, an explosion would not do this because of it’s nature. It blows and then slows, if that took place we would not have a universe as it is now. ) NASA just proved this by a study on explosions in which looked at how things would/could explode. Just happens it also proves the idea of a big bang DEAD WRONG.

 

 

 

<—Your assuming

.. #1 the bigbang happened when the universe was spoken into existence.. a

 

#2 the bigbang isn’t part of evolutionary theory .

 

#3 It neither proves nor denies a creator.
________________________________________
We do have a God, Jesus Christ. Most of the time people turn from the bible just because they want to live life as they see fit. They just don’t like having rules. But your smart, i can not see how in the world you don’t see this. It’s sitting right in front of you. I was once like you, but I woke up. <–now really..arrogance much?

 

I did the born again thing.. it was fun for a while was in youth conquest with christ.. and got sick of the interdenominational bickering.

______________________________

 

The fact is, not one part of the bible can you prove wrong.

And I haven’t tried too your fighting the wrong fight , skewed ,very very skewed..

By the way, how is it your the know it all?

How do you explain Israel? It’s a nation of around 5 million, yet it’s able to hold off the millions upon millions of Muslims trying to destroy her. How is it the Arabs hate Israel so much? What is that hate fueled by? Ever thought about these things?

_____________________________________________________________________

Have you watched ANY of my other videos?? ever??

LOL
try being Pagan, let me tell you a thing about the ACLU they HATE RELIGION in general. Persecution you think you know persecution. I ought to do a video on the burring times .

_____________________________________________________________________________

Such as the ACLU going after anything Christian, but allows teachers to force kids to recite the Muslim conversion prayer? You didn’t know about this? Probably not, the ACLU never went after that school. But had it been a Christian thing they sure would have.

Again arrogantly assuming what I know…

But you don’t see any type of evil in the world, You can’t see any agendas going on huh. It’s all just humans being mean just happening to make everything the bible says … come true. Yea I follow ya. You sure do know your Bible.

_________________________________________________________________________________
Why is it all you do is try to insult me. You have not said one thing to disclaim even one part of my reply. Only to tell me you know more. Sorry I don’t believe you know anything of the Bible. What it sounds like is that you have watched some movies and believe everything you see on TV… that’s what it seems like.

Any I can’t say the same thing about you total lack of knowledge of any form of pagaisum?

I was really just trying to get a friendly debate going. However I’m already about sick of the insults and what not.

And you don’t think i’m Sick of your arrogance and insults ..

really.. congratulations you get to the subject of my next few videos

 

So today i’ve done a lot of thinking about political parties..

you see this week I have gotten a lot of people telling me how I HAVE to think .

or telling me I’m not “enough” of something to belong in a group.

I’ve been told I’m not libertarian enough:

because I refuse to support amnesty for illegals.

because I’m pro-life

That I’m not pagan enough because I’m pro life.

That I’m not pagan enough because I’m a capitalist.
Ect..

so.

I have decided to . disown the lot of the party system .

BTW i feel the libertarians are being usurped by liberals .. playing word games just like they used to usurp first the democrats in the 1960’s and 1970’s then the Republicans in the mid 1990’s and 2000’s .

I feel from 2005 on the libertarian party has been co-opted by “progressives” who don’t have a spine but plenty of shiny new words…

So as I do yearly about this time I’m going to examine where I stand on my political ideals .. my value system ..

I know I have shifted a bit from last year .

so here goes , Why Mary Conley is unelectable..and doesn’t fit any molds ..

Energy

1 word :capitalism,

let the free market decide. we aren’t stupid. I was buying CFL bulbs before they were trendy because i liked not having to replace them every 1 to 2 year and the cost cut in my electric bill. although there are somethings they just don’t work in … dimmer switches.. now LED’s they work in dimmers are less toxic and even more cost effective..

I resent the government telling me , what light bulb i MUST buy. how hot or cold my rooms can be . when i can have my lights on, how much water i can use like I’m some freaking 2 years old.

I’m not stupid ,and I’m probably more environmentally conscious then half the moronic greenies out in Los Angeles that drive there “carbon off set” hummers to work with just one person in the vehicle and tall mocha-frappecino on the 10 hypocrisy it kills me !!

.

By the way my gas powered Civic gets better highway mileage then your Prius , my battery doesn’t have a half-life of doom ..and my car is almost fully recyclable. where as yours is toxic.

Crime/ Defense

the FEDERAL government should only be responsible for punishing people who commit treason, or terrorism. this includes illegal aliens that commit crimes fall under federal offense and should be dealt with harshly.

the very purpose of Government, as defined in the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, is “to secure these [unalienable] rights, Governments are instituted among Men”, “that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

To fulfill this obligation, the Preamble of the Constitution states one of the duties specifically delegated to the Federal Government is to “Provide for the common defense”.

US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 11 - 16 give Congress further direction and authority in this area, including the power “To raise and support Armies” and “To provide and maintain a Navy”.

I support capital punishment when the punishment fits the crime.

 

Federal involvement in state and local criminal justice processes should be limited to that which is Constitutionally permitted.

All other crimes and laws need to fall to the states .

In other words it should be up to the states to regulate drugs, and legalize them if they want up to the states to set the laws and punishments and to enforce them , without fear of repercussion from the federal government.

and yes I Do think we should legalize cannabis as a Prescription Drug .

Use the model that is working in southern CA set up by the Farmacy.

again supported here:

The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

The 4th Amendment states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

 

Gun Control

nope

I’m an NRA member, subscribed to the liberty mag , not the hunting or sport one that really should sum it up…. the second amendment , isn’t about.

hunting or sport it is about protecting yourself from the government .

“It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government.”

– Thomas Paine, American revolutionary.

 

 

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

Thomas Jefferson
1743–1826

 

The 2nd Amendment strictly limits any interference with gun ownership by saying: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

 

 

Big Government ?

I believe that the Authority of the federal government is extremely limited . that is to establish and maintain post roads ..and to Protect out boarders

The closer civil government is to the people, the more responsible, responsive, and accountable it is likely to be. The Constitution, itself, in Articles I through VI, enumerates the powers which may be exercised by the federal government. Of particular importance is Article I, Section 8 which delineates the authority of the Congress.

The federal government was clearly established as a government of limited authority. The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution specifically provides that: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

James Madison said: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.” (Federalist Papers #45) The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people (Amendment X).

constitutional parties website

Domestic Federal Aid/welfare

I’m 100% against any federal welfare. again back to the tenth amendment .

it’s not the Governments job to take care of you..I read this today and Ii think it sums it up nicely.. again from the constitution party’s website.

The Declaration of Independence declares “all men … are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights …That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men …“

The Preamble of the US Constitution shows how these rights are to be secured including “provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare“.

Two clear distinctions should be made here:

1. Provide implies actively and financially supporting, promote implies a more passive approach.

   • For example, I’ll promote that we put on a grand feast, but I want you to provide it!

2. General Welfare is not the same as individual Welfare. General Welfare would benefit the people generally; individual Welfare targets a certain segment of society to benefit, such as the poor.

Providing Individual Welfare is not authorized in the Constitution.

Education

I also tend to agree wit the libertarians on welfare and education.

I feel the Federal government should have no say on how our children are taught.

that homeschooling shouldn’t be demonized , and that all schools should be private.

I also support disbanding all unions.

Unions are a relic of a fascist time in the United States and should be disbanded.

They are no longer needed , all States have adopted Labor laws that were not present when unions were needed and they have served there purpose .

I feel they are now thug organizations , coming repeatedly to the defense of immoral, sometimes criminal teachers at the risk of our children ,. while forcing more money to be funneled to either the unions or these bad teachers(teachers that are benched or sent home on paid leave ) . Unions allow accountability and consequence to be taken away , the lose of these things dull the work ethic of the teachers and hurts the educational quality our children receive.

I feel good teachers should be able to get promoted regardless of “tenure” if their children are learning, and excelling and Bad teachers should be able to be fired, with out having to go thru long drug out battles .

example from a LA times story

Joseph Walker, former principal of Grant High School in Van Nuys, says that because of the uphill battles that administrators face in terminating teachers: “You’re not going to fire someone who’s not doing their job. And if you have someone who’s done something really egregious, there’s only a 50-50 chance that you can fire them.”

Environment: see energy!

controlled burns are GOOD, as is thinning the white tail herd in NY!!!

Health Care and Government

word :capitalism,

let the free market decide. we aren’t stupid.

Executive Orders

bad mojo!

again I shall let the constitution party people sum it up..

 

Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution clearly restricts the power to make laws: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States”.

Presidential Executive Orders are clearly “legislative powers”.

We oppose the use of Presidential executive orders that make law or otherwise usurp the Constitutional authority and responsibilities of the legislative and judicial branches. This Constitutionally subversive practice must be stopped by Congress. All unconstitutional executive orders must be repealed.

if they were slightly less preachy I’d join these guys..

unfortunately I feel a Pagan showing up at there party

…… would get me burned at the stake…

Immigration

enough…

i support the entire stance of the constitution party in this matter

Immigration

US Constitution, Article 4, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; James Madison: “When we are considering the advantages that may result from an easy mode of naturalization, we ought also to consider the cautions necessary to guard against abuses … aliens might acquire the right of citizenship, and return to the country from which they came, and evade the laws intended to encourage the commerce and industry of the real citizens and inhabitants of America, enjoying at the same time all the advantages of citizens…”

We affirm the integrity of the international borders of these United States and the Constitutional authority and duty of the federal government to guard and to protect those borders, including the regulation of the numbers and of the qualifications of immigrants into the country.

all of it :

Social Security

I don’t believe the federal government should provide any welfare .

I believe that citizens should have private savings and be responsible for themselves and their families .

I believe that the government should stay out of business to ensure a more robust and stable market , by allowing the natural course of business evolve .

Taxes

I do not feel that income tax is legal.

That 95% of federal programs should be cut or handed over to the states, or privatized

Family

well here I agree with a simple statement made by Glenn Beck…

 

The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

 

Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson

 

 

I’m moving 2000 miles back cross the country for several reasons . Of those reasons the most important is to be closer to my family.

Matthew is staying behind in Los Angeles for a few months but they will go fast ,and we will be home on the east cost .

He misses his nieces and nephews and his father. We would rather take huge pay cuts then continue living so far from the ones we love.

 

Faith

I believe there is a creator.

yes I am Pagan to be precise a Devotee of Brighid ,

I’ve spoken on values vs belief before.. here.. if you want to delve deeper into that subject from my point of view.

Sanctity of Life

 

One of the changes from last years view was I was Pseudo-pro choice , to a a serious change of heart and a staunch pro-lifer.

chalk it up to motherly instinct kicking in if you want .

But what really opened my eyes was an article written by a mid-wife and witch that is in the right hand column “pagans for life”.

This was the first time I saw the Pro-life movement addressed from another Pagans perspective and it means a world to me to have a reaffirming view point.

We need strongly committed speakers to reinforce what out hearts tell us but our head ..barraged by the general “consensus” , stereotypes and static externally fed to us, , rationalizes and ignores .

The Declaration of Independence states:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”.

The Preamble of the Constitution states a purpose of the Constitution to be to:

“secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”.

We declare the unalienable right of Life to be secured by our Constitution “to ourselves and our Posterity”. Our posterity includes children born and future generations yet unborn. Any legalization of the termination of innocent life of the born or unborn is a direct violation of our unalienable right to life.

I don’t fit any one party but their are bits of other parties I agree with .

this snip-it comes from the constitutional parties website , some of this come from the libertarians most of it is snipped directly from the founding documents and words of our founding fathers.

and these are my positions in 2009 .
