  • Happy spring equinox!

    From David Dalton@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 19 20:53:53 2021

    It is now just a little more than 10 hours before the exact time
    of spring equinox, plus many won’t read this until later, so
    Ostara (spring equinox) Blessings to all in advance.
    (Fall equinox to those in the southern hemisphere.)

    My latest attempt to forge a new balance is described on
    the thread “Spring Equinox/D-moon” on alt.religion.druid .

    Would a cross between a stallion and a cow or between
    a mare and a bull be an equine ox? :-)

    "Exact time" you say.

    Now think!

    Would this be at all possible if our origin
    were the result of a primordial explosion?

    Absolutely not.

    More evidence for our most awesome and
    wonderful CREATOR, . .

    THE LIVING GOD


    Oh yes.


    Happy!

    A particular event happens once a year. It can be predicted.

    If this is "evidence" for a deity, the faithful are absolutely scraping
    the barrel.

    Now, if the time of the equinox could be altered by prayer, then that
    would be evidence for a deity.
