Okay maybe this is a stupid question but...can I still be Wiccan if I have a cross tattoo?

Some people think meanness is required to show how serious you are. I'm sure you've encounter religious people who are like that, too. Intelligence handling complex and nuanced thoughts or writing lab reports does not make you good dealing with people.

Read scripture. The prophets were horrible obnoxious. Moses had bad days.

I still am puzzled by the fig tree curse.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
