Check out the Considering Using a Wiki topic again. I updated the image. I know we discussed the possible pitfalls of using a wiki, but with MediaWiki we can hire programmers to put in any features we need, plus there are thousands of ready made plugins that do anything you can imagine.

To answer your question...Some ppl take Wicca to be all about casting spells and the like, and in that case I don't practice, I study. Wicca's been the only thing that held to my beliefs instead of telling me what to believe. nature based, compassion based. Do unto others, harm none... Wicca covers a very broad spectrum. I go no father than saying I'm a solitary eclectic; I'm not initiated, never met a coven, but I've been studying for about 12 years, on and off. I have my own belief system and Wicca fits that very comfortably, while leaving me much room to grow and explore. Such as finding my way here... which all started with a weird dream prompting me to look up the word "Kashi" (not the cereal stuff).

Hey James, Check this out when you have a moment.

A little more regarding our conversation yesterday on getting RG up to snuff. Starting with "just a great idea" can be highly beneficial, and a great example of this is the MyMythos project, which also pretty much has no product, but is now being funded by a very successful group.

If the funded projects for MyMythos do well, then we'll do more and the MyMythos empire will begin to take root. Thus, success.

Of course, many things said here can be misinterpreted. Human language has it's limits, and religion is where those limits affect us the most. I think Religion 2.0 should include among other things an awareness of the limitation of language to define spirituality and expressing it in a religion. If the definition and expression can be adopted by anyone without contradictions or conflicts, I would call that a "true religion". I don't advocate proselytism, yet somehow I feel that a proper education would lead individuals down the path we are forging. On the other hand, some would argue all of this kind of talk is merely a pipe-dream and we are only stroking our own spirtual egos. I for one am curious to see where it goes.

Comment in chat I made after you left:

You make such extravagant claims about the failure of others in the field, then present your cure, then are unwilling to demonstrate it.

I think this comment is quite relevant. If you believe in the debate model so much, why shouldn't be able to play it out a little yourself, gather the results perfect or not, and display the results so people can see what you're getting at?

I don't see why this would be an extravagant proposition.
If you can show us a general idea where the model is heading then we can all see the big picture that you seem to see.

I simply don't want to misrepresent myself, what about: "I was logically bested by James S Saint"?

As much as I'd like to, the consequence of my losing would be intolerable. I will respectfully decline :)
