TheRealChasmodai ::: Favorites I just looked up the group he claimed to belong to in Connecticut, Panthean Temple, and sent an email through Witchvox to the Rev. Alicia Freeman of that group. I included a link to his vid. Maybe she'll weigh in on his claims. 07-08-10 02:56:49 _____________________________________________________
BlueFireWitch ::: Favorites That would be great. 07-08-10 14:17:55 _____________________________________________________
Orion8472 ::: Favorites When you meantioned those "fluffy wiccans", Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a great term for them. She called them a bunch of "WANNA blessed bes". I found it amusing. :-) 07-06-21 14:58:54 _____________________________________________________
BlueFireWitch ::: Favorites Yeah I remember that. 07-06-21 23:00:03 _____________________________________________________
jakiperu ::: Favorites i came by mine writing graffiti on trains & walls, & wondering why the establishment reacted so terrified of it... 07-06-17 03:35:15 _____________________________________________________
THEONEJENDAV ::: Favorites shouldn't you blame the teachers of christianity who taught you poorly so your understanding was poor??? if the teachings are fully formed then the belief and support that is a result can be fully formed but on the other hand no one path is suited to all people 07-03-31 16:29:30 _____________________________________________________

BlueFireWitch ::: Favorites I've read the Bible that doesn't change the fact that its not something I could put my faith in. 07-04-01 01:38:50 _____________________________________________________
THEONEJENDAV ::: Favorites i didnt mean that if knowledge is passed on properly an educated decicion can be made with understanding a similar experience happened to me but not that bad i knew preyer would be answered if i made an effort to change. im not a christian but i understand the system of belief from many sides not just from the side of blind faith which i suspect is how you were tought 07-04-01 03:17:57 _____________________________________________________
BlueFireWitch ::: Favorites I do feel, although, that I was misled by Christians with this great promise of things if I prayed for them. I prayed alot, several times a day, and I only got more depressed, my family situation got worse and my school situation got worse. That's when I decided that I must do for myself instead of expecting Jesus to help me. 07-04-01 14:25:33 _____________________________________________________
THEONEJENDAV ::: Favorites this is a religion that says dont worship idols or have other gods befor me (not me literaly) yet worships jesus with very little evidence like the crusifiction no roman record shows people being taken down after 6hrs or dieing in 6hrs it took days and the treatment was mild compared to others but their are records of people surviving crusifiction. but in sun school i was taght that god is inside all beings yet they excluded me for complaining about being kicked in my shins repetitively 07-04-01 14:32:56 _____________________________________________________
BlueFireWitch ::: Favorites God is inside all things?? That sounds more Native American than Christian. I got in a fight at church once. A kid snapped my bra and I belted him good in the face. It was great. We had to talk to the priest and I refused to apologize. 07-04-10 19:38:59 _____________________________________________________
thuirthiawindsong ::: Favorites I would too. Kid deserved it. 07-06-15 15:51:07 _____________________________________________________
stephanie3215777 ::: Favorites you're so right, that's exactly what I feel )o( 07-04-10 19:22:33 _____________________________________________________
TheRealChasmodai ::: Favorites I had both good and bad experiences with Christian worship and teachings, but when I discovered Wicca it was a homecoming, and I discovered there is a name for the type of faith I have always felt. 07-08-10 15:25:35 _____________________________________________________
Tacos25n28 ::: Favorites Thats why your a strong wiccan... Just like we are strong atheist. We don't think any one would believe something if it was not supported by evidence and personal exp. But a lot of people believe in things. Such as the satanist you and us think are crazy. 07-03-31 05:51:26 _____________________________________________________
Tacos25n28 ::: Favorites A good rule we live by is " We want to be proven wrong so we have the right facts ". That means that no-mater how much you believe your right. You could be wrong. And when some one shows you the facts of reality. You should not disbelieve them just to keep your now unsupported belief. 07-03-31 00:23:26 _____________________________________________________
BlueFireWitch ::: Favorites That's the thing, i see my beliefs as supported by evidence and my own personal experiences. 07-03-31 01:56:13 _____________________________________________________
