My comment to Doxie:
Thank you Doxie. I am a Pagan, have been for years, it is a religion based on calmness and nature. (real Pagans .... like real Christians and other religions...don't go around doing harm to others...it comes back three times fold is our believe)...and in regards to homosexuals, my daughter is and she is beautiful inside and out..in fact, she hates the internet because of the cruelness she sees on sites like this and others....
To the Person who wrote this:
I am Pagan, have been all my life. You probably got mixed up with fluff wiccans (that is what we call them, those who think they can do spells and say The Craft, stupid stuff like that) A real Pagan practices the old religion, live by the creed, volunteers at church functions and is involved with other charity needs. Of course, I am an older woman who has read many books pertaining to All religions througout the world, talked with many people and I listen and learn with an open mind and open heart. I do Not believe in Satan....that is a different religion practice.
In regards to homosexuals..my adopted daughter is gay, and she works in the health world, in fact, they (her and her partner who is an OB_GYN) are moving to Africa to help those in need.
Please do Not label people because you had a bad experience with some...that be like me saying that all Christians were bad because of a dealing I had with one or the other.
Judge not unless you want to be judge......

Also, you are not allowed to ask them to look inside themselves and see the rotten parts. That's an instant backlash.
It was XXrol who started it all!!
She just had to follow me where she did not belong! She was not in the group or in the articles she does not want me to have any Christian Friends.
We were all Pagans at one time..... Even XXrol Its sad that I am evil because I have Gay family and friends and Pagan friends.
Not for nothinf there are those who attack my religion also. But then, we've been atcked almost as long as yours.

Actually the group was bashing Gays and Pagans...it was not the other way around....
you were explaining your beliefs to someone who probably has not had the opportunity to know someone who is a pagan. that is not bashing another religion; it's called teaching. we all need to learn something new each day. maybe this person doesn't want to learn new things. :)
well, I wasnt disagreeing per say, I was jst trying to open her eyes that not or two bad people doesn't a group make....
I am so glad we are friends...
"excuse me if I call a spade a spade - pagaism and witchcraft is NOT a peaceful practice" I will not excuse your stupidity!!! you do not have a clue, sounds like you came from a family of crazies not true pagans.
and the other one
OH but you allow pagan bashing and gay bashing, that sure does not look good out of you.
If they only knew what good people we are. I'm not a ritualist, but I do follow the basic tenets because of the morality and the understanding of the earth and energy.
My favorite writer in the philosophy is Starhawk. I think she's inspirational.
This is what I posted. Let's see how long that lasts. Frankly from reading all of that I think this woman is damaged.
nut stated "i cant type because i cut my fingers"
my reply: getting your fingers whacked was your gods way of trying to shut you up, your making him look bad.
I got deleted I guess someone made her cry, the whole darn thing is gone now ;)
Never look back. Never give the haters the time of day - you cannot fix them, change the, correct them. They are on their own path.
So long as we all take care of our neighbors, it doesn't matter what directs us.
alas
It was sad I told the group I did not want to associate with people who bash my family and friends then Xarol came in and knocked me ... It was sad then my comments were deleted...
