    Dear child, this is the Lord's way of telling you you are extremely stupid. But be not downhearted. Stupidity is no bar to the Kingdom of Heaven, and is positively helpful in understanding Creationism.

    The hair shirt is probably what is meant by "sackcloth" in the Bible,

    (eg Psalms 35:13: But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.)

    and is worn out of the sight of mankind under one's decent and Godly everyday garb, where it reminds the wearer at every moment (though admittedly in a small way) of Christ's suffering on the Cross. Wearing one is particularly meritorious if lice can be induced to establish a colony therein, and Harris Tweed is conducive to infestations of this nature.

    Our Penitential Garments are available in ladies' sizes and our latest line - hair tights - are particularly recommended for serious repentance. Bless you for your interest. I am sending you our catalogue.

      Well, clearly I am not the only stupid one.

      I wikipedia-ed it that day.

      Thanks for attempting to help me though.
      1 Timothy 2:11-15
      Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing.

        Nolita, your story of redemption has warmed the cockles of my heart. I would be proud to stand straight and true at your back, sharing the love of Jesus with you.
        Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
        Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
        Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
        Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
        Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
        Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

          Aww, thank you Mr. Hutchins! That really means a lot to me.

            So . . . you prayed to dirt, and asked it to cast spells for you?

            How exactly did the sacrificing and eating of Christian babies work into dirt-worship?
            Bible boring? Nonsense!
            Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories!
            You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

              Um, I didn't do that.... In fact that goes against all of the Wiccan laws. "An do what ye will, harm ye none."

              And I never prayed to the dirt. That could possibly be the stupidest thing I have ever heard of.

                I hope that your sincere conversion to the True Faith (tm) encompasses the complete abandonment of this dangerous view. We are commanded to harm people for a variety of infringements of God's law, as well as for occupying land which God has commanded us to occupy and even for simply existing. In most cases the harm prescribed by the Lord is terminal: a useful summary of the regulations is provided here, in the only acceptable version of God's Word.

                And let me hear no happy-clappy misreadings of the New Testament, either.....

                Matt 26:31 "Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad."

                We stock smiting rods. And sheep.

                  Be careful, a lot of times what comes over you in your sleep can take awhile to wash off -- just use your Christian discernment to be sure that it wasn't something sinful.
                  I was about to say, is the OP entirely certain that it wasn't her randy roommate who may have.....er...done that in a 'dream'?
