I am on here to get more attention to a non-profit that was founded by four Muslim women in metro Atlanta called Baitul Salaam that helps women/families (all races, ethnicities and religions) who are in trouble due to some form of domestic abuse.

We assist with food, temporary shelter, referrals for jobs/career, clothing, medical assistance (including mental health), support groups, etc.  People can help from home using their computers and never spend a dime. We get money from a company called iGive.com each time someone shops from their web site (top stores) or uses a search box we get a donation by check in six to eight weeks.  Our search box is at iGive.com/BSN.

Our web site is at www.baitulsalaam.net.  

Hello folks!  I'm here to contribute to the community in a way that supports personal decision making in context of a multicultural society.

Things I Do:

• present options
• present differing views
• refer to resources

Things I Don't Do:

• tell people what to do
• make decisions for people
• tell people what is 'right' 

I'm looking forward to offering ideas and sharing with others!

It is rare that I recommend movies to anyone. To me they are simply a form of entertainment, nothing more. However I do want to recommend "Religulous". Wikipedia describes it as a 2008 American comedy/documentary film written by and starring political comedian Bill Maher. 

Bill looks at all religions in this film, while searching for answers to his own questions about God and religion. Some of the questions I'm sure many of us have. In his own satirical style, the final film gives us the perspective of religion from an "outsider looking in" point of view. Bill is doing for religion what Michael Moore did for health care. A real eye opening experience!

Well like most people in my part of the country, it is virtually impossible to get a job.  I am very skilled in both office and retail, and have owned my own business as well.  Still I cannot find work.  In the last several months of being unemployed we have completely drained our savings, now that we are out of resources, a ray of sunshine has appeared.  I have the opportunity to open a spiritual coffee shop, I just need the initial financing to do so.  I have the perfect location, found all the supplies I need wholesale, and have the full support of my husband and kids.  There are no other coffee shops within about 10 miles of my chosen location, there are no stores at all within several hours drive that will offer the gifts and spiritual supplies that I will carry.  It is unfortunate that it showed up when my bank account is empty, which is why I turn to the good people out there that have not been hit as hard as my family has been.  The total expenses I will need to cover for a full year of operation, merchandise, furniture, supplies, legal red tape, and employee payroll, is 150k.  Anything ANYONE can do large or small may just add up and get me this store before the opportunity passes and this perfect location is rented out by someone else.  thank you so much for your time, but please act fast.

I am here to help.  Have BA in Psychology and I am a reverend.  Peace be with you.

DEar everybody

I am a 20th years old girl from Indonesia and I really confuse because I have to pay tuition before 26 MArch 2009. I was graduated from senior high school at 2007 but the school was arrested my graduation certificate. I was the best student at my city when I was at senior high school. Unfortunatelly, I can not get any scholarship to university. There 3 reasons: 1st I was too poor, 2nd I am christian, and 3rd my city government is too poor. I was studied at private school at the time because government school tuition did not pay in advance. actually, the city government ever give me some money as appreciation of my academic achievement but the amount is not enough to pay my school tuition.

After graduated at 2007, I tried to get a job to collecting some money to pay my senior high school tuition and to continue my education to university. I can not get any better job because I do not have any certificate graduation. Then, I was work as a waitress with a very little salary which is only enough for my accommodation. It has been two years after I have graduate. I still have a dream to continue my school. I was looking some scholarship. There is much scholarship out there but at my country the scholarship is usually based from religion community and it was hard for me because I am a Christian. Beside that, scholarship usually gives for government officer family.


I was tried to find all ways to get scholarship and get my graduation certificate. The monetary crisis come and anything getting worse here. I assure that I was a good student. This years (2009) is so meaningful for me, it is the last year of my chance to join government university admission test (March 2009). I know that government university give a free tuition for student with GPA more than 3.5. I know and I assure that I can get it. But it means that I have to pay tuition bills at senior high school and also my first tuition and application fee. The amount is too big for me. It is close to 2000US$. What can I do now? Just hope. one weeks a go I found an announcement from Korea Government about they International scholar. It was full scholarship. I was very  egible for the requirement. But how can I apply it? I even do not have senior high school certificate. asking money to my mother is very impossible because my father was on the theraphy of parkinson (neurology disease). beside that, I  just know that she doesn't have money and I know that she  really wants me to get university education to change our life.

I do not mean to get cadging to somebody I never meet before. But I do not know what I can do anymore. I know that every person also have they own problem. I ever post a letter to digitalcharity.com and I get that the peoples who contact me are not mean to help me actually.

If you want to help me, you can donate me. I take it whatever the amount is. If you want to give me loan. I say thank you to you but I do not have anything as a guarantee and I need at least 2 years to payback your money. If you are want to give me any donation, scholarship or any advice you can contact me at; putrisylvia@yahoo.com.sg and putrisylvia@yahoo.com

You can donate me by western union or my mother account:

These are some of the more Common Myths and Misconceptions about being Wiccan

Please feel free to comment and join in for support. All religions welcome, I respect all opinions and beliefs...Blessed Be... 

1. Wiccans worship Satan
Satan is a Christian creation and part of Christian mythology. Those of us who do not follow Christianity, do not accept the existance of this character. We do not worship Satan, nor do we summon demonic forces to do our bidding or our laundry. But wouldn't it be fun if we could?

2. Wiccans engage in ritual orgies
This misconception may have arisen from the practice of doing ritual in the nude - or skyclad. Not all Wiccans practice this way, and there is nothing sexual about it. I've been in PJs...

3. Wicca is only for women
Wicca has attracted a great number of women because of the focus on the Goddess, which is an uncommon alternative among other mainstream religions. But Wicca is open to everyone, male or female.

4. Wicca has no rules
We may not have books of commandments to bind our lives, but many Wiccans do follow one single law: An it Harm None, do what thou will. Those words have as much power as an entire book of rules. We refer to this statement as the Wiccan Rede and is part of a longer poem.

5. Wiccans are Anti-Christian
Wicca, overall, is very tolerant of other religious views and does not engage itself in criticizing the beliefs of other people. Wiccans do object to religions that attempt to suppress the religious beliefs of others. It is every human's right to seek spirituality in their own way.

6. Wiccans cast spells and hexes to control people
If we really did this, we would all be wealthy and powerful. We believe that for every action, there is a re-action. That includes using magick in a negative manner. While we may not believe in a 'punishing God' or the devil, we do know that bad actions will come back and bite us in the ass - karmically speaking.

7. Wicca is a cult that is trying to recruit people
First, unlike many other religions, proselytizing is not something that we practice. We do not convert or recruit anyone. Each and every individual's path of spirituality is valid and no one path is better than any other. As for being a cult, most people these days are solitary practitioners and not part of any group. Hard to be in a cult when you are by yourself. (hehe)
