That sounds promising! I hope he is successful. I feel the best way to stop being hunted and persecuted is to educate the masses. If large portions of your beliefs are made public knowledge you will gain an ammount of immunity that you would not otherwise have. They can't hunt you down if everyone knows about you, it would be too public.

Tell that to Mohandis Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., The Kennedy brothers...... There are always people (crazy people) willing to trade their life for yours. Publicity is great, but a top-notch security firm is better.

It's no cop out. I'm one up on you already. I died for four minutes in Kuwait. I got blown up, I've seen the other side. I don't expect you to believe it. Every day It goes through my mind, you know, what's next. I want it. I was never as content or happy. Or in as much pain as when I was sent back.
I know the rules and I am not about to trade my soul or halt my spirit in these last years on earth. I'll be a good guy.
I've seen the Goddess and spoken to her.
I'm Probably breaking a rule telling you this, But we are taught that the spirit cant lie or live a lie. The Spirit of a man or woman follows the god or goddess it belongs with. If it is taught the wrong religious doctrines it will pull away. There is an answer and a after-life for every living Spirit. To use fear in our faith is a crime. It's as bad as using lies. Your God loves you and I know this as well as i know My Goddess loves me.
What is really wrong is to force others to believe as we do.

I agree, and I have not said that anyone has to convert to my religion. But there sure are a lot of people on here telling me how bad MY religion is. I never said that anyone was going to hell, but a lot of people act like I did. I said that I had the promise of Christ to be my intercessor, and somehow that was translated into "do what you want, you've got a get-out-of-jail-free card".

What I have said is that the wiccan religion may be totally harmless, and that statement may be taken the wrong way. I meant that it may not involve black magic or devil worship.(I don't know, so I can't say) I've also stated that wiccans are undoubtedly much the same as other people, in that there will be wicaans who will be good human beings and others not so good.

I know that you are a Christian and that you would really rather have understandings than fights, Former Sooner.
There is no Satan in Wicca and no Dark arts. You really need to understand that Satan belongs to Christianity Judaism and Islam. It is not at all a part of the earth based beliefs. We don't have a Satan.
Satanism or satanic worship are the dark side of Abrahamic beliefs. It does not belong with us.
See. When we were created our world was different than yours. Take some time and read the Good news for Pagan posts, the hole thread as it's done. It will give you the understanding of peoples that share this world with you. We don't claim to be any more than we are. I am not accusing with any of this. I think just knowing that other spirits and other peoples share this world and that we follow our ways, will sure help others to understand.
I do ask that you don't type any judgments of what is written. It's all just being shared with our own peoples and will give them understandings too.

correction. Thats the "Great news for Pagans" thread.

Ban Harry Potter! In God's kingdom, I will say, "Harry Potter, No Trespassing!" Harry Potter is like a German Clown (from the day the clown cried) luring the kids to the gas chamber.

There’s always 24 karat nut jobs who wants to live in the Dark Ages as when the RCC ruled. Theocracy does not rule this country.

Where have you been? The author has long since settled the question of Christianity for herself and her characters. It's no different than CS Lewis and his fantasy tales which have a Christian perspective.

You are like the Geico commercial where a guy crawls out from living under a rock for several years.

Ban the bible for being too violent, teaches women are property, girls and women can be rape and be put to death because they were rape, beating and murderer kids and women, support slavery etc.
