NEGATIVE WICCAN FEAR

First of all, I am Wiccan.  I am from Texas, part of the bible belt and
have felt first hand the unpopularity of Pagan-based religions.  I
enjoyed your Missions and Methods page, but there is a lot that i don't
agree with.  First of all, your evidence of persecution page has nothing
ther worthwhile.  We all know that persecution still exists, but some of
it is not even persecution!  Take for instance the person who recieved a
Bible from some Mormons.  How is that persecution?  Personally, i feel
happy when someone tries to convert me.. Why?  because even though they
believe tht our way of life is wrong, they still care enough for us to
try and get us on the "right" path.  Now, when you explain to them that
you already have a religion and thank them for caring about you and they
they go into a breserker rage, i can understand that being on your
page.  I personally have never met anyone who freaked out when i
responded politely.

You say this is santuary for those who are persecuted by all means, but
i think that this is a haven for fanboys.  You do more damage with this
site than good.  How can you expect others to respond in any way but
distrust and fear when you promote propaganda like this.  It is good
that you honor the ones who have dies for their beliefs, but don't try
to say that all Pagans are martrys... I have met all too many who have
claimed they were pagan for the "shock value"  just to make a statement
and "be different".. just like everyone else.  Since you seem so hung up
on history, may i remind you that Christians, whom you seem to be
directing this at, have also gone through a "buring times."  Actually, i
take that back.. I apologize.  You seem more intent on the now than the
past...
I think you ahve a great premise for a page, but i think you are doing
more harm than good..  thank you.. Vanessa

Clairvoyance by anglfthr@iamerica.net

The only references to clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition,
telekenesis, medium spirit communications (Jesus Himself, incidently!),
in the Bible is related to people of GOD, prophets, apostles, Jesus
Himself. The PRESENCE of such abilities/gifts was, in fact, the PROOF of
a 'real' prophet of God, from a 'false prophet'.  So now Christian
'doctrines' and 'beleifs' are that anybody with any such abilties/gifts
are witches, sorcerers, demon possessed, and/or satan worshippers???!!!!
Go figure!
