    Greetings all,
    I noticed when setting up my profile that hippy was listed as a religion. I almosted picked it, but relised I was not sure what that means here or mostly in genernal. I have considered I self a pagan as in earth spiritual to put simiply. But am evalving again in my spiritual identity.

    Would anyone mind sharing, please?

    Peace & love,
    Clove

    being a hippie may be a choice,an it is a walk of faith..

    however it has nothing to do with religion..

    i know hippies who are pagen,christian,krishna,hindu, agnostic, etc. etc..

    you must understand as much as this site professes its hippie roots,, its grown so big that the administraors tend to hire people that are clueless to set it up..

    once again bein a hippie,, IMHO may be a walk of faith,, but whoever throwed that up in the profile thing ,, is either a complete fool or a psych student workin on a thesis..

    wait,, that would be one in the same... ;)

    luv n lite..

    Hippie-ism is not a religion, per se.


    However, feline-ism does qualify.

    LOVE CATS! TAKE SOME OF MINE! THEY ARE ALREADY USED TO BEING CATERED TO, CLEANED UP AFTER, FED, WATERED AND GENERALLY NOT SHOT UPON SIGHT.

    I love the little killers, the cute little furniture-scratchers, the sneaky shit-behind-the-woodstove-rascals, the drink-out-of-the-toilet-pigs-and-then-lick-your-face furbags.

    You are welcome to my latest batch of kittens. (Shipping charges, but of course!).

    I await your check-- 4 kittens@$50+$200 shipping= $2013.98.

    Cashier check or cash, only.

    Price is negotiable.

    Thudly is saying, A TRUE hippy can be ANY religeon.
    We have christians, jews, all are represented here.
    And we all want the end of violence. And we want continued existance.

    Was it a Communist, or just the typical, airhead liberal gibberish that Jane Fonda-of-commie- Ted Turner squalks and Tommie-hatchets-about?


    Just some curious.

    Well I'm a Hippy but as a spiritual path I'm a Christian..... To me hippy is a philosophy much like buddhism.......... Religion is for the weak who can't think beyond what is put into their head and the corrupt who put it there for their own gain of power and control!

    If there are no priests, it ain't a religion.

    Hmm...Jerry Garcia, Stephen Gaskin, Leary, Starhawk, Ida Mae, Ram Dass what other "priests of hippies" were there. Lennon? George Harrison? Wavy? Stephen Jobs?
