If you believe your way is teh only way, and any other way leads to unpleasant stuff, naturally you don't think well of other ways.. It's not nastyness, it's concern for people who jepordize themselves by going other ways.
That explains it sometimes. I ofetn wonder though where the extrimists and crazies that preac in the streets come from that dont even bother to listen to why people feel the other way.

Sure, a few wiccans get teased or bullied or get their altars wrecked. Unpleasant, but no worse than what a kid might face for being fat or unpopular, or an immigrant.
Yup. Its never happened to me but I;m sure that there have been wiccans and pagans out there who have had that happen to them. I guess I just seem to luck out for some reason...

People who complain about being social outcastes or teased for religion... All i have to say is: Go tell the teacher or SUCK IT UP. pleanty of kids survive such teasing, though often they are teased for other reasons, you have no grounds for bitching all over GAIA because of it.
and I dont and never have. I inwardly laugh at those that have. Its one thing if they are hsrading the story and have a point to it, but its another to just complain about it to try and get attention or to look for compassion.
Its worse when they say that in ED its the only "safe place they have" for doing so. I wouldnt Say that ED is a safe place for that any more. Probabaly never was in my thoughts.
Now I dont mind if it has to do with a topic at hand like discussing how to deal with people that confront you for your belifs and the like, but it doenst mean that it belongs all iver the place like you said.
Thats what the journals are for.
Rei, I just
heart talking to you. I get so much satisfaction as your posts lead me to see an understanding of your views on life and religion and other things.
