I know this battle has been going on for a very long time now...but it never fails to get me all fired up.

I get so tired of seeing Paganism being shown as something evil or stupid or WRONG. Sure, there are people out there who give us a bad name, but what about all the CHRISTIANS who give Christianity a bad name? You know, the child-molesting priests, the murderers who kill in the name of God, the idiot bible-thumpers that protest military funerals? Are they ok just because they are "christians"???

The hubby and I were watching an episode of "A Haunting" on Discovery channel and the story was about this lady who started practicing Wicca and her devout Christian son thought it was evil...and then they blamed all the bad stuff that happened on Wicca...and guess what? The show ended with the lady never practicing Wicca again and they lived happily ever after...Give me a BREAK!!!

And today I read a message where I guess some Sherri chick on the view said something like "I want a leader who shares my beliefs...I wouldn't want some Wiccan casting spells over a cauldron..." GRRR! What the hell is that supposed to mean EXACTLY?

To all the ignorant people out there who consider Paganism to be evil, wrong, immoral, or whatever negative thing you think...GET A LIFE AND DO SOME RESEARCH. And I am not talking about the "ex-Pagans" who were expected to have sex to become a member or do other bad things. THAT IS NOT OUR RELIGION! READ A DAMN BOOK! (and I don't mean the bible!). Pagans are probably the nicest people you will meet. I mean, there are jerks everywhere, but seriously...if the main religion of the world was Paganism or Wicca...the world would be a much more loving and peaceful place. I am so glad that its making a comeback.  

I just get so sick of worrying about whether or not I should wear my pentacle necklace that Joshua bought me because some psycho Christian will give me a hard time. Now a days when I go into a store I, without even thinking, put my pentacle underneath my shirt and out of view. I shouldn't have to do that. I shouldn't be afraid to broadcast my faith like so many Christians do. 

Anyway, I could go on and on (and on) but I won't...just know that I am the WRONG person to try and "convert" and talk to about how Jesus will save me from this "evil" satanic worship. UGH! GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!
