Apartment Life = Satantist?

I can see how she thought this was a threat. I'm sure she deleted the thread because it was getting out of hand.
I understand the email was sent to the members of the forum. If you weren't a member it shouldn't affect you. If you were a member then you knew her forum rules and shouldn't be surprised.
I also think you all believe Christians should somehow be perfect.
If she thinks witchcraft is satanic, so be it. Get a grip people. Some of you believe witchcraft is not satanic. Does that make you wrong?
Isn't there such a thing as a Christian Jew? That's kind of a misnomer isn't it?
This whole thing is ridiculous. You also claim she has shoved this in your face. I haven't seen this message posted anywhere else by her. It's been cut and pasted by someone else. She sent this to HER members, not to all of you.
I haven't been here long and mostly just download, it's a good thing because this crowd mentality is amazing to me.
Most of us are members both here and there. We can't talk about it there so we discuss it here. If you don't want to read it don't.

I really find this argument very amusing. It seems to be attack DL time again. As for Catholics being more balanced. I would say reread the History books on the Inquisition again.
Last time I checked, it was her site. She owned it. Therefore she can post whatever she desires and delete as same. Many here are site owners too, I am sure they exercise the same judgement. Why is she blamed for something that all site owners do then, if this is not in fact a witch hunt? (Pun intended.)
Whatever your issues with DL are, I am sure that they will be gone over with almost orgasmic detail by the usual suspects one more time. With all the normal kool aid drinkers spouting the party line in unison. Leaving a great big slice of fact in the process, as that would get in the way of a good story. And I am far more familiar with the story as well, I also am aware of the facts that conveniently get left out for the sole purpose of making others who do in fact have favor here. Look better.
We have all come to expect as much.

Drama has always been DL's forte`, I find it ironic at best that this kind of furor is being met out over Saturday morning cartoony depictions of witches. Perhaps 'moronic' might be a more apt description of her hypocritical viewpoints on many a subject.
There's an old saying I'll paraphrase: "Better to let people think you a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt".
TheDebofNight:
While I do not dispute the fact that it is DL’s board and she has a right to do as she pleases with it, I think there is a bit of the whole pot calling the kettle black thing going on here. You seem to not realize that the same rules apply, this is Kathy and Eric’s board and they do have a right to post what they want. If you don’t like this thread, then simply put. Exit the page and don’t read it, because you can not have your cake and eat it too. Kathy has a right to post a discussion on her own forum without people making a fuss and saying that it has to do with ancient history, which ancient pointed out isn't the case.

With vampires, zombies, werewolves and aliens abducting and impregnating helpless men , she's worried about witches? (If you want to split hairs for the sake of splitting hairs, wouldn't the alien abduction thing be the equivalent of space rape? Now that's evil. *rolleyes*)
I think a good point was made in the above statement, and it goes to prove that witches in the game and claiming them to be a Satanic is a bit of an extreme especially when you are only singling out one thing. As well as banning your members because they don’t agree with you or they try to educate you.
I see hypocrisy this matter as well.
Centuries ago the churches hunted out those that they thought to be vampires and staked them in the heart after they had already been buried or worse. Church and religious officials went on wild hunts for werewolves and even put several people to death because they believed them to be monsters of the night. With that said why pick just the witches in the game, why not the other two things or as caffeinated.joy said why not the alien pregnancy. Witches were not the only ones that were hunted down and burned at the stake by the churches and whatnot, but they seem to be the only one being focused on.
Had this been something that had been said in the beginning when University, Pets and Nightlife were put out I would have far more sympathy. As it is though, Religion is a touchy subject on any level and when someone feels that there are belief system is being insulted or offended or they are being backed into a corner they lash out.
The whole point however is that the thread wasn’t meant be considered one person calling another out, the thread was posted to get the views of members and see what they thought about it and if they thought that witches in the game were wrong.[/SIZE][/FONT]
kathy:
Deb very nicely put, thank you. I have always been very interested, though I am not religious, in religion. The persecution that ones have suffered because of their right to choose to believe in such and such seems fundamentally wrong to me.
When someone tells me they find something offensive the first thing I do is ask why. I want to understand their reasoning for it. There are certain things that obviously you do not have to question, ie child molestation but other things if you don't ask you will never fully understand and you remain ignorant in a sense. Even if I disagree I will give the benefit of the doubt and listen to the other people. Listening is very key here. When we, as a collective group, fail to listen to one person we miss that chance to bring about change, change that could benefit everyone. Mind you none of this is directly related to websites but life in general.
