Witchcraft in the White House?

Your religion is good, all others and lack thereof are bad... If it is close enough to yours, maybe you will tolerate it, but it can't stray too far or they get cut off...

I am an atheist and I defend your right to be a Christian, or a Buddhist, Wiccan, or any other thing you can possibly imagine. I do this, not because I like you or your religion which I do not. I do this, quite simply because it is the right thing to do.

But as you said, some people cannot separate right from wrong...

And let this thread die already... Hasn't it been loaded down with enough crap?

But you continue to insult those of us who do not feel as you do. Were you to get your information correct you'd see that the Rede says "And it harm NONE, do as thou will." Yes, do what you want is the whole of the law, as well as the law of threes - Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good. Wiccans are aware that the energy they put out will come back to them three times. You, my friend, are going to get hit with some very negative energy.

http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/rede.htm This is the law the Wiccans live by. Its a celebration of nature and the earth. A very beautiful philosophy, which you can see does not include ANY of the garbage you are spewing. Its a recognition of the turning of the year, the seasonal change that represents life and death.

Though I have my own opinion of Christianity, and BTW, the more you talk the stronger that opinion becomes, (just saying,) but I've not once referred to your, or your religion, in a denigrating manner. I and many of my Pagan brothers and sisters here at DP have tried to correct your information and get nothing but hostility.

You are lumping the occult, and Pagans, into the same category. You are calling them both evil when the fact of the matter is that Pagans don't hide their practices. So, anything Pagan and occult do not belong together. You have chosen to look at the most twisted examples in witchcraft and then have generalized it to mean all who practice the Craft. And even worse than that, you are trying to spread disinformation about our faiths by mixing the Judeo-Christian ideologies into your examples of bad Pagans.

Those who choose to worship the Hebrew Gods can do so at their own peril. Pagans do not worship the Hebrew War God, though some may borrow religious practices from Judeo-Christian tradition. (Rather, they may borrow them back as they were first Pagan.) Those few, however, do not represent the majority of Pagans.

In fact, I don't represent the majority of Pagans. No ONE Pagan can represent all Pagans, in fact, those that say they do, or intimate they do, are lying and the law of three will prove them. Each Pagan is different in how they worship and the Gods or God or Goddess they revere is personal unto themselves. We worship together, we worship alone. We heal and support each other spiritually as well as mentally, occasionally even physically. Or we don't. But one thing is certain, all of those that abide by the law of three, are charitable, loving, peaceful and dedicated to caring for the earth and its creatures. That even includes you.

So, in the interest of tolerance, and freedom of religion, I would ask that you please stop referring to Pagans as Occultists and all of the implications you infer with that word. We are not Occultists. We practice in the light, and in it, we harm none . . .

Thanks and Blessings )o(

you think carter was a Christian?

Dearest Armor of Christ 777

I feel you, my fellow DP Christian Patriot.

I do however, would like to ask you to pause, and objectively heed the intellectual dispositions of some of our non-judeo christian Ron Paul Constitutionalists. They CERTAINLY have worthy points. As these things go, there WILL NEVER be THE RIGHT answer. THIS is why we WANT, and SHOULD, and MUST want FREEDOM and Liberty FOR ALL. So that we may all independently pursue what we feel is the best way for each of us, at individual levels, to seek what is, or is not right. WITHOUT a govt dictate, NOR a private entity seeking to impose their will on us.

I doubt you'd want a anyone else to impose their own interpretation of Christianity on you, let alone other religions be it islam, b'hai, scientology, mansonry, etc.

And I shall close with a groundhog day: the self-evident FACT known to Sages, of ALL Ages: indeed, religion is MAN-made. However, FAITH? It is DIVINELY inspired.

I wish you find a path that is right for you. But heed that you don't seek to impose your own interpretation, but rather share your views. If it is sound, people of like mind will join you, naturally. Besides, wouldn't you rather have those type of friends, whom you acquired out of FREE WILL, rather than out of imposition, like the Inquisition?

I know deep down you know the right answer.

We all be CONSTITUTIONALISTS in this House of Worship. ,o)
