    Re: Introducing Azvanna

    Chandrilla is the home planet of Mon Mothma (i.e. the woman in white in Return of the Jedi).

    As for post munching,

    A Jedi, I am. Awarded in a raffle, this title is not.

    No I'm not stealing from Yoda's lines Dark Rendezvous. I don't do that. (I'm not actually, Yoda's lines were slightly better.)
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

          Re: Fun things to do to piss people off

          I was a bad 'un today. I was running late for meeting my friend in Newcastle but the city was extremely crowded and people here don't know how to look where they're going and have 'other people exist too' blindness. So I pretended to be having a really foul caughing fit as I jogged through the street. They scattered like chickens!! Hehehe.

            Hello. My name is Amber and I'm a college student. I was raised a Catholic and have had doubts for years, but have only recently fallen away from the faith entirely. I was introduced to Paganism through my friend.
            I'm not exactly sure what sort of Paganism she identifies with. I've asked her, but she said she just refers to herself as "Pagan." She calls her Goddess Gaia, which I believe is from the Greeks, and is completely against witchcraft and the like. I don't really know what to make of it, since the only branch I've ever read read into is Wicca (and since she's really into Slavic vampires...).

            As for myself, all I know is that I don't believe in a "god" with a physical form. If there is anything that I feel deserves respect it is the Earth. I feel so strongly for the Earth because it is an entity I know exists; I know what I can and cannot expect from the Earth. I wouldn't pray to the planet to end world hunger, but I know from experience that it will provide for me if I plant a seed. In this sense, I believe I have some Humanistic qualities in me as well.
            I also am a strict vegetarian, as I do not believe humans are above animals in any way.

            Aside from my religious confusion, I am a Cherokee Native and am studying Computer Science. I am going to apply to become an individualized major at my school, though, in pursuit of either Artificial Intelligence or Biotechnology. I can also be quite lengthy in my introductions. Who knew?

                    Welcome Adosia. Hope you enjoy the forum. There are all walks of life and beliefs here

                    I love the fact that instead of just praying and wishing for things you take action (though I do pray and meditate). That is quite an admirable quality. We could use more people on this earth like you!

                        Enjoy the ride...my trip as a Pagan lasted over a decade and I enjoyed it far more than I enjoyed being a Christian I don't participate too much, but whenever there's a topic where an Atheist has an opinion you'll see me pop in

                              Welcome! and intresting story, id recommend looking up your ancestors and seeing what they used to belive, i think it might be what your heart is looking for.

                              As for your friend, thats a confusing one. they say their are Pagan but against witchcraft? This is actualy a first for me, never heard of that. But it makes me wonder if they understand what Paganism is... not to sound like a iforgottheworld

                              Coz like, when i was introduced to Paganism, the first thing i learnt was that Witchcraft isnt some big evil thing unless you watch too much Disney. Witchcraft can be quite a loving and imtimate experiance that ive had to pleasure of taking part in.

                              I mean, Salem was a long time ago, i thought people learnt from this O.o
