Apartment Life = Satantist?

Freedom of Speech is wonderful, mizmudgie, but so often people forget that along with it comes the responsbility to accept the consequences for what you say. She can say what she wants, true, and we're just as free to speak our thoughts on it since, as others have said, she won't let people discuss it there.
Now, in my reading and self education regarding different belief systems and religions, Satanism is just as wide and varied as Christianity. There are alot of different paths; however, the one constant I've found is a concentration on iconoclasm and catharsis. The majority believe that if something good happens, it's because of you and not God. Thank yourself for your achievements and not any outside force. You pay for your sins, no one else does, so do what you want if it makes you happy.
Not a philosophy I want to base my life on, but there you have it. I can happily explain the most common reasons why people equate the Wiccan faith with Satanism if you all don't mind a long post from yours truly. I find different religions interesting and have read quite a bit about them. It's sad so often the subject isn't one that can be discussed without people getting offended or have it turn into a heated debate.
Zephyrash, I agree with Odessa. We're not punishing or bashing the people who frequent DL's site, we're discussing the validity or lack thereof of her argument re: Witches=Satanism.

Hmmmm Can you say get a life? thats just pathetic. I mean come on you really think EA would come out with a GAME based on satanic things. I dont believe in anything but in my opinion thats just a crock of s***. Grow up. The witches in the game are pathetic not even close to being satanic. lol.

It's sad that someone, or a group of people, have to be falsely judged. I thought this segregation thing was over.

How is this issue even remotely related to segregation? Sure, there's something to be said about prejudice with respect to religion or lack thereof, but the accusation of segregation makes little to no sense since nobody is being divided or ostracized based on religion. I think you're being a bit presumptuous here.

Welcome to America, if it bothers you...Harden Up!!!
And here I thought I was on the internet, a network that includes every country in the world...
Hadn't realised that I had been in America all this time. Wow.
As for commending someone because they have blind faith in something like this; it makes me very uncomfortable. What is so commendable about following something blindly until you become this irrational? I think that that kind of behaviour is deplorable! What good can come from such an attitude?
The sims2 is a game, a game with no real religious elements in it (thankfully) and for someone to see satanism in the Hollywood parody of a different religion entirely? That's a little crazy.
Also, so what if it was "satanist"? Satanism is a religion just as much as Christianity, does she ban people on her site for being any religion other than Christian?
For me I see no difference between someone who is Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Satanist, Pagan or whatever.
Che, some people need to get over themselves.
