Apartment Life = Satantist?

Wicca and Paganism are a belief system and those beliefs are not forced on people it is chosen by people. Most Wiccans avoid telling people they are Wiccan because of that very type of ignorance. The study of mother earth and the stars and waters that influence our very beings is in no way Devil worship. Ask her, what sign she is and I bet she could tell you, that is Wiccanism, shouldn't she be punished for knowing that?
Really wake up and smell the coffee, rose colored glasses need to be removed and people need to open their minds and stop being sooooo judgemental. Prejudice is not a pretty thing.
I am a Wiccan...witch if you so prefer to call it that. I believe that everyone in the end Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan, etc.....
has their own belief sytem. People interpret things differently it is one of the side effects of free will. .....and it harm none do what ye will!

What amazes me is that these are adults making these claims, not the children. Barney helps teach children the difference between right and wrong, to love and respect one another.

I have no idea what happened with her here either. I am also speaking as a Christian when I say this:
Sadly, there are a lot of so-called Christians who make the rest of us look bad. It happens with every type of person, and not just religions. This kind of person invents the stereotype that so many others find offensive.
Everyone at my church is the epitome of a true Christian. They don't bash others' religions, there's no hate, they love others as themselves. I asked at the last Alpha course about how they view witchcraft and paganism, and not one of them said it was evil. Jesus himself had tax collectors as his disciples.
Christianity didn't start off having all these pagan influences; that was the fault of Emperor Constantine, who stole their ideas, moved Jesus's birthday to co-incide with the winter solstice, etc. He was also the one who denounced them - true Christians aren't this hateful. I must add at this point that Christians were also persecuted once upon a time.
It saddens me that there are still so many "false Christians" in existence that spew hatred and judgment, as well as impose such twisted view of others. Judging others is one thing we're told not to do. Interestingly enough, so is "bashing people with their bible" as Kathy put it ;)
Please don't think this is what Christianity means - it truly isn't.

I don't mind the witches, I just hate it that the evil witch can call up lightning, which really hurts my eyes, and those awful roaches. I hate roaches. I guess others hate story book witches with the same passion.
My own oldest daughter, won't let her kids do Santa at Christmas. I feel so bad for them. They are missing something really fun. Oh well, to each their own.

:lol: As much as I despise Barney (thanks to a certain little boy in my family), I find that quoted statement ludicrous, HWT. "Lavender AntiChrist"... doggone it, he's purple! There's a difference! :laugh:
Once more, I reiterate: I agree that it's her site, a we can let her go on and do what she wants. I have no qualms with a site owner setting rules that should be respected... no matter how ridiculous they may seem. :? (...since there's more to the web than just one site anyways, there's always another place to go if there's anything that makes a person uncomfortable at being at certain place... especially if said place restricts a few certain freedoms. The internet is a sea of variety, that's for sure.)
But getting back on the original subject (sort of) asking if AL = :devill:, I think that narrow-mindedness and fear truly does play in thinking that way... sometimes even "peer pressure", especially when you know others are watching what you're doing and you have any fears of "loosing the image" that you're supposed to represent.
I'm 100% with what Sadie said... it's sad and true that we have a lot of persnickety people that make any religion seem quite shameful in the eyes of others (Christianity/Islam/Judaism/Wicca, or otherwise... we're all guilty of having someone in any area of religion) It seems as if the "Golden Rule" is obsolete in some religions... or just limited to people who share the same beliefs. It's definitely not a good way to represent what you stand for. :dontknow:
Eh, but enough about that... I'm going back to having fun with my little devilish minions I call Sims. :lol: It's no harm done... all one needs to know is the differences between innocent fun and subliminal messages, or just virtual reality from real life. :angel:
