    Geez Schlyne, if I were in that class, I'd be grinding my teeth throughout her whole Halloween speech. I have a few pagan friends, and I know about all of the misconceptions people have about pagans. Pagans don't worship the devil; they don't even believe in a devil! I could go on and on about how their benevolent male "horned god" of old was somehow transformed into a devilish evil creation, but the info is out there already.
    Sure, people are always going to have varying religious beliefs. I think that the only way we can all live on this earth without killing each other, is to tolerate others and their differences. Barring anything extreme that causes unwanted human torture or crimes against children or animals, people should be able to live their own lives and do what ever they want in their own homes.When we fence ourselves into little fundamentalist religions, we start hating and condemning others, and we divide ourselves into little armies and fight and tear things up and generally make the world suck. Why must this be!?

    Yeah, several people in the class glanced at me during the speech. You could tell I wasn't very pleased with her information.

    I am w/ Ginevive.
    My comeback to all those supposed good "christians" is read the friggin bible
    Jesus accepted all and refused none. Told us to love everyone.
    I hate when they try and twist the bible to suit their own agenda. That is indeed the real sin.

    Geez, some people really try to screw up a reason to get free candy, the nerve!

    There's a great song by Coyote Run called the Coyote Polka. It has great lyrics for that sort of thing.

    I'd rather not about offending someone. You can't please everyone so why try. Like any Wiccan would care that some 5 year old kid dressed up as a green faced long nosed hag. I mean really. And if they do they may need some help.

    and as far as the christian's throwin' in their own opion thing. First off, god never said to force your religeon on others. He gave us free choise. You can talk to someone about it, you lead someone to it. But you try and make them come to it.
    But he also never said to be quiet and secret about your religeon He says in the Bible that whoever is ashamed of me I will too be ashamed of him.
    And this is coming from a Christian, and I'm not going to be quiet and secretive about what I believe is wrong and right.
    Now there is a very fine line there.

    Plus what could a Wiccan do?

    Cast a spell on you? :D Just kidding there, people. A true Wiccan who practises so-called "white magick" would not want to gain themselves a bunch of negative karma by casting begative spells on people.
    I used to be into reading and studying about the Wiccan faith. I have, actually, tried to learn a bunch of stuff about a lot of faiths out there. personally, I see merits and flaws to almost all religions. I really try to find out about something before I form an opinion on it. And I never let someone else shove their opinions onto me; I am too opinionated, lol.
