Eh, we'll continue to see this sort of thing so long as Wicca and other Neopagan traditions remain closeted and in a minority. The mainstreamization of Wicca has greatly helped it overcome some of these misconceptions, but they are still out there in larger sections of society than would be desired. Plus, even if they DO understand, we need to understand that to some people, Wiccans and Neopagans will *always* be Satan worshipers because honoring any other concept of deity other than their own is Satanic. That's just how they see things. I find it advisable just not to take offense to it.

Well, if he's asking for advice on a relationship from a TV show host instead of trusting his own judgement and heart, I'd say that the relationship was going down hill anyway.

This guild is so awesome. I leave it for a while and its still self sustaining. You guys are great!

throw your knowledge in his face. if you are watching one of thier live things call in and tell them the truth but also have a credible source to back it up just in case they pass you off with a "yea right crazy satanist"

Yeah, pat's an idiot, but having different religions, even one that don't oppose can be stressful. Pat sucks.

This is a conversation between me and my dad.

Dad: Wash that off your hand right now! That's a sign of devil worship!
Me: No, Dad, actually it's the symbol for the Wiccan religion.
Dad: Yeah, I know, them devil worshipers.
Me: No, Dad, they do not worship the devil. It is not defined as well what they worship, from the way you look at it, they could be atheistic or polytheistic. But they do not worship the devil.
Dad: Just what we need: more athiests! (with bitter sarcasm)
Me: Dad, I'm just trying to that that symbol is not one of evil.
Dad: Did you know that those Wiccans or whatever are the ones causing all the crimes and bad stuff in the world.
Me: Dad, that's prejudice. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Dad: Of course I do, I'm a lot older than you and I've seen these people.
Me: Dad, you didn't even know what that symbol meant until just a minute ago.
Dad: You should really stay away from those Devil worsiping Wiccans.
Me: DAD, DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR WHAT I SAID? THEY DO NOT WORSHIP THE DEVIL. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!
Dad: Let's get off this subject. I don't like to talk about those bad people anymore.
Me: They weren't bad people in this conversation until you said they were.
Dad: Did I not just say let's get off this subject?
Me: *sigh*

I was watching the 700 CLub, just out of pure boredom and I like to see what other religions are like. I got annoyed at certain parts, yet some parts were...interesting.

A lot of Christian's hate that show too... we make fun of it all the time at my Bible study- it's so ridiculous! It's also a pretty bad representation of Christianity as a whole.

See...that's why I don't like the 700 club. I don't like anything that has to do with Pat or Jerry Falwell or any other scary Christian Fundie for that matter.

and thelovelyLIZ, I'm a Christian too! And I also get quite offended at times with the 700 Club. And it is a horrible reprensentation! >.<

I HATE PAT!!!! If you have ever watched that show and are not Christian you might understand me. I just watched it a minute ago and I'm really fricken pissed off. Some one wrote in an email saying that their GF was Wiccan and he was a Christian. (NOTE: I�m not Wiccan I�m an electic-pagan) the questioner asked if he should break up with her because she was Wiccan. He still loved her but was concerned with her religious choices. That I understand. Any one want to guess what pat said next? Leave her now you might love her but loving some one that worships Satan means you love Satan. GRRRRR!! First of as many people her can probably say wiccans DON�T worship Satan!!


Ignorance like that just pisses me off... evil

Evangelists like that need to be stripped of thier air time. They make millions upon millions with biased self-interest and a closed mind to any faith other than thiers. Here's why: It's not about faith-defending. The more Christians that turn to him, the more money he makes. If people start looking into other religions and see just how wrong he is, he stands to lose money. For television evangelists, religion is a perfect scource of income so long as people go to him. heck, there's a gigantic 'Christian World Outreach' stadium in Colorado Springs that's run by a tele evangelist. And it's privately owned, so you can see just how much these people make by being closed minded evangelists and phonies.
