Will you participate in the Triduum rituals?

I do.\n\nI would go with the Baptism. . . I was Baptized (Confirmed and recieved my first Eucharist) last year at the Easter Vigil (Yes, I am a Catholic Convert) and it means a lot to me.\n\nAs I was being Baptized, and the Priest said those wonderful words "I Baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit", I heard, in my heart, someone say "Welcome Home".  I know it wasn't the Priest or anyone around me - can't explain it, but I know, deep down, that it was God talking to me.  (I know, it sounds weird and "preachy" but it happened.)\n\nAll of them are very special, and more people should be moved by the events that go on.

Oh good.  Two pastors.  Both like minded.  Double the fun.  Thanks!  BTW, in order for you to be a good-will ambassador, pretend you're someone else.  Wonder where Karma is tonight.

I will of course, it is important to remind me and everybody else that we are ashes and we will become ashes. By the way congratulations on getting to level 5, I have selected some of your answers in the past and they have been honest, decent and elaborate.

Wear it on your sleeve (Christian sayings t-shirts).  Wear a cross around your neck (my husband wears a cross), put one on your keys (I do this), go to a Christian club (I went to Campus Christians), etc.  Some people pass out Salvation tracks.  This is kind of annoying, though.  I do for Halloween trick-or-treaters, but not the general public.  Pray at meal time.  That always looks good!  When people tell me their problems, I say that I'll pray for them, & I do!  I am smart enough to know that studying is not enough!  I pray when I study & when about to take a test.  If I drove a car back then, I would have offered to be the designated driver.  I went out with the party kids, but I never did drink or smoke.  I really stand out, even at church.  If something is going on that I know is clearly Biblically wrong, I refuse to participate, & the others notice!  One cannot just assume that if something happens at church that it is ok.  I have pretty stong convictions!  I am not easily swayed by the crowd.  If you do any charity work, mention it.  Like, I made over 70 lap quilts & gave them out to the elderly in nursing homes.  Surely you've also done something to help out a charity or two in your life.  It doesn't have to be a Christian charity, either!  Like, I donated my hair twice so far for Locks of Love.

Well it is up to you have active you are in the ceremony, but personally I would not participate actively in something that I did not believe in. It all depends what it is they're doing though. For example if they are praying then I would stay silent and wait for them to finish, but if they wished me to be a godparent then I would probably have to decline because that would involve me saying things that I did not believe. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. You should just see the baptism for what it is, a way for the parents to celebrate the birth of their new child and introduce him to the community. That something we can all enjoy :-)

No.  That's a great idea.\n\nThe best way to visit other religions' ritual observances, however, is as a guest of an adherent of that faith.  This is better because one has a guide to what is appropriate and inappropriate for guests of other faiths (or, in your case, of no faith).  For example, visiting a Roman Catholic Church, it is inappropriate for non-Catholics to receive Communion.  Also, your friend or acquaintance with whom you have come can answer questions your child might have afterwards from an insider's perspective.\n\nMost healthy religious communities that let non-members attend at all (and it is important to check) are very considerate of their guests.  Try reaching out to the leaders of the faith communities and expressing your wish.  Most are very ready to accomodate such a request.\n\nYour reason for wanting to do this is very responsible.  In a world of so much hatred and violence because of religious differences, any action to promote understanding and peaceful coexistence between people with different perspectives on spirituality is a good action, and should be supported.

No, If I'm still alive when it happens, I will join Jesus in the sky, along with my brother and a few of my freinds.  I hope to see you up there someday.\n\nBrother in Christ,\n\nBill  B.

You got it! Sounds fun and I am excited to be a part of this. I hope one day to do something similar. I will go to the mountain river with my canoe to die. I will ask for the Christians to pray my Death be peaceful and painless. I will watch for your message, I never thought of it, hope you can write, really be cool.

I always celebrate Yule and Christmas I am a pagan well I am  a witch and I follow a celtic path so I honour all of the traditional pagan sabbats.\n\nMy only wish is that people could extend their goodwill throughout the year instead of keeping it to one particular time of year but as that is never going to happen I shan't hold my breath.

At noon, one of my closest friends is getting married!  She is a sun-lover, so it'll be an appropriate day for her.\n\nAny other ritual/celebration depends on my significant other... if she's up for a ritual, we'll have one (indoors, unfortunately... no "comfortable" area outdoors for us to do anything "formal")... otherwise, I will just do a little meditation in my room before bed and most likely read aloud the Summer Solstice passages from DJConway's Celtic Magic.\n\nBright Blessings!

Yes\nIt say where two or more are gathered together in the name of Jesus Christ all thing can be done, if you have the faith...

You won't\n\nChristianity has had almost 2000 years experience in creating anti-pagan propoganda, and you will never compete with them.\n\nShow people that you are a good person, and don't make a big deal of your paganism unless they bring it up.

Only after Birth (well, just a few prayers) Marriage and Death.  Those are the big three.  My brother in law is Sikh and we do party quite a bit though for no damn reason.
