An actual final report from a North-Eastern Alabama Paranormal Society investigation.

Just like with most religions of a certain size and scope, Judaism has many different denominations. All denominations within their religion are about how best to interpret the faith, and each denomination does so as they see fit. The denominations in Judaism tend to form a sliding scale of conservativeness, or of traditionalism. Sliding from Orthodox, considered to be the more traditional and conservative, to Reform, generally viewed as the most progressive or liberal of the denominations. Obviously there are many denominations that fall in between those two and a few that are outside the sliding scale all together.

The Magical Buffet was created with the idea of helping foster religious tolerance. I’m sure one day it will grow and evolve, but at this point it’s almost a direct representation of my thoughts and views (that’s what happens when one person generates at least half of the content). Sometimes I get so caught up in my chosen format for expression that I forget that there are many ways for an individual to express their views on the subject of religious tolerance.

You know how little kids play the opposite game? It’s when they say one thing, but mean the exact opposite of it. Therefore, I want to play, means I want to sleep.

Ack!

If you’re like me, when you hear the name Daphne your brain goes to the redheaded damsel from Scooby-Doo. Crap, is that really just me? Well, the Daphne from Scooby-Doo was jokingly referred to as Danger Prone Daphne. The poor girl was constantly falling down the trap doors or being snatched by the villainous men in masks. Daphne Blake was, in fact, always the hapless victim. (Until Hanna-Barbera revamped the series and turned Daphne into a female MacGuyver of sorts.) The fact is Daphne made sure to end up involved with solving mysteries, and would pay the price by being the damsel of the story (with Velma being the brains, Fred, the brawn, and Shaggy and Scooby the bait). The Daphne we’re talking about is just as much a victim, but instead of seeking out mysteries to cause her trouble, she just needed to live during the time when Greek Gods visited the Earth.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?Well Kermit, it’s because there is a ton of associations with rainbows. Rainbows are featured in more myth, more legend, and more symbolism than you can shake a Muppet at!
