Dear Sir,
Merry meet to ye. I would like to comment on your little passage. First of
all, we don't worship satan. there is no satan. Satan was concieved by the
first christians of one of the original greco-roman gods ( i forget which
one) and plugged in for fear elements. We wiccans believe in only good. We
are healers, helpers, and friends. We cause no harm unless provoked, and
even then everything we do is brought back upon us thrice, good or bad.
Please take this into consideration, and please do some research before
making your next flame.
Merry part to ye, and Blessed Be,
Adam Brisebois

Listen Riley (what a cute name), you haven't got the spiritual, emotional, nor
intellectual artillery to come into our NG and talk such garbage.
Your religion requires you to believe in such a being like Satan. Otherwise
your lovely pastors and other clergy would be in the poor house. Thus, they
gotta keep the Satanic Shindig going so you will FALL FLAT ON YOUR FACE IN
REPENTANCE FOR EVEN ENTERING THIS NEWSGROUP AND DONATE HALF OF YOUR SORRY
PAYCHECK TO THE GOLDEN OFFERING PLATE SO YOUR POMPADOUR-WEARING REVEREND CAN
GET HIS LEISURE SUIT OUT OF THE CLEANERS!
Now depart from my presence, go watch TBN and give till it hurts.
Just to prove you are Wicca Curious, I did not forward this letter to your
email account. I want everyone to see that you are a Troll who thrives off of
your sad devotion to that joke of an organized religion. You must come back,
it's in your nature.

Well to the most of you I want to apologize for my ignorant on Wicca. I must
admit that it was a pretty "facetious". I assumed that you practiced
witch-craft. You may, I still am not for sure. I do know that witch-craft
is of Satan. I still will have to disagree with what you do believe and put
your faith in, but I am sure that you would and will do the same with me. I
am making this assumption by just what little response that I have gotten
from my e-mail. I would like to discuss this further with anyone in an
intelligent and orderly fashion. You all probable have many people post
things that are much more harsher that what I even posted so you have every
right to be apprehensive. For example StormFyst :) I will say before I
sign off , just for StormFyst behalf, this is not a sign of backing down
from what I believe in. Just telling you I am sorry for my approach.

Most of us do. Do you practice grammar? I'm not sure.

Are you sure of that? Satan is an evil entity you Christians worship.
(believe it or not, you do. You must believe in him, therefore, you worship
him)

More harsher? I noticed this is Sunday...were you in a hurry to get to Sunday

This is definitely "not a sign of backing down". No no no. Of course not. You
were just being silly for even bothering us with your trollish antics. Shame
on you Riley.
Do yourself a favor: Don't visit my webpage. It will destroy your

Hmmmmm, considering this devil, or Satan, is a Christian invention (to my
way of thinking), I am confused as to what that quotation has to do with
this NG anyway :-)

I was raised christian and came to realise that the whole belief system was
riddled with holes. A god that is loving and caring...yet vindictive and
jealous? A god that can't admit when he'd created commandments that might be
considered unreasonable so he has to send his son to die for his followers
sins just so he could save face? The book you quote from is written by
men...about demons designed, in my opinion, to scare people into being their
definition of good.
Your mythos states that god wants people to come to him of their own free
will -- otherwise, he wouldn't have given them free will. It stands to
reason he wouldn't want them badgered or frightened into it, after all:
If a person isn't free to choose his own path -- how can you be certain of
his sincerity?
So this is my path. This is my choice.
Yet those of us who make the choice to follow this path are subjected to
this sort of harrassment?
I turned my back on Christianity because of this hypocrasy.
May you find the path that calls your name...not your number.

Um, telling people that they are "of satan" is perhaps NOT the best way
to begin such a discussion, though...

There can certainly be intelligent and friendly discussion here, "even"
between christians and those who follow other paths.
But the ONLY way to accomplish that is to say, "This is what I beleive,"
NOT, "what you beleive is wrong".
You may well feel that those who do not beleive as you do ARE wrong.
That's fine: it is part and parcel of many people's faiths that theirs
is the only/best way, and you will find those here who espouse such
ideas, even within paganism, (oh, yes, you will!! She says, pulling on
asbestos suit... ). ;)
We are (mostly) adults here, so let's start off from there, and see
where we end up, ok? ;)

Nobody here does. In fact, I don't even beleive in the devil, so how exactly
do I serve him?
How about this...*you* *fear* *what* *you* *do* *not* *understand*

It would be one thing if I said I served Satan. If I did, If I claimed to be

Um, no.
That's not true, on a number of levels, because there is always the
possibility that English is not someone's first language.
Further, people who are dyslexic spell poorly, but tend to have a
slightly HIGHER level of intelligence than the "average".
It's just a point, but it is an important one.
As someone who has trouble spelling in English, let alone in the one
other language I speak, (hangs head, is not pleased to have to say she
only speaks two languages...), I thought this needed clarifying! ;)

Dear Riley,
Faith and religion are the two most civilising factors in the world.
Which make them in the eyes of mankind good. They can however, be used
for evil Which are you doing.
Are you prostelising for the glory of the lord god Adonai? Or are you
doing it because your minister and church elders say that Wiccans are
Evil?
(Just in case you don't know, Adonai is only one of the names of the
christian God, used more in Sinagouge, than in the sanctuary)
If you will continue reading in the book of Revelations, you will Also
learn that Knowing God is not the same as being known to him. So think
about your motivations. If Adonai wants them, believe me, he'll let them
know. I speak from the words of experience.
I was a Pagan, but I started to see patterns, and cycles (like every
neonate is taught to) and things kept happening. I may not be wholly
christian, but I am no longer fully pagan. I find no sin in their faith,
how could I- being a Gentile? (I.e. Hebrew for "Pagan" or " convert")
Besides, who are you to judges? They may be known to god, and even if
they do not belive, that alone COULD be their salvation. Do not presume
to usurp God's Grace or his Wrath. You are just a lowly little human
like the rest of us, born a sinner--like the rest of us.
Blessing of your God be upon you, which ever He or She may Be.
In Light and Laughter

Point taken, janet :) I think this person was making reference to the
tendency of the *unfriendly* and forceful types of christian zealots to not
only be ignorant of other religions, beliefs, and truths, but also their
grammar and spelling :). I mean, everyone has gotten those silly chain
letters saying "You whill burn in the fires of HELL, becawse you our a SINNER
and fornicate against the light of GOD! blah blah blah."
The other thing is, you would think that one who preaches such things would
know how to spell "damned," English-speaking or no.
I would rephrase the person's rebuttal (LOL) to:
Your spelling reflects on your ignorance.

If it's any comfort, I got a very SPECIFIC one, which from internal
evidence couldn't have been a chain letter, telling me much the same
thing, and about how pleased my "master, Satan" must be with me....
I sent it back, thanking the poster for their concern *, and reminding
them (gently I hope) about the mote and logs verse... grin...

Um, (thinks...) I couldn't be SURE how many "n's" there are in the

tend to screw-up a lot, but not all of those are "sin".

he he okay. Actually, I have a learning disability, so I *can* relate in some

You know what I really can't stand, though? When you're in a group, or a chat

Actually, the literal definition of sin is to "aim at a target, and miss."
I am sure that I have done that (both metaphorically and actually many
times in my life- what I don't buy is a God worthy of taking seriously,
much less my worship who would condemn me for it.

I can't cope with that. Yes, I will point them out, (and I get almost

and I get bleary eyed when people don't put the PAGES IN ORDER!!), but

Slander, slander... I didn't invent him.
However, I do have a book to quote from... well, I don't cos I leant it
to a friend, but I think I can just about remember the message. It was
about Locuses (Not them buzzy things that eat crops) and comes from
Vivienne Crowley's book "Wicca: The old religion in the new millenia".
It goes something about how a locus is something to do with what you
think controls your life. Clever people tend to have an internal locus,
if they do good they praise themselves, if they do bad they feel shitty.
Simple people (That means dumb asses) have an external locus, when they
do good they assume some divine force is touching them from the outside,
and when they do bad they "pass the buck" to some external force (Such as
Satan). This is the theory that led to the Burning Times.

Since the persona of Satan was created by Christian Theologists some 9 to 12 hundred years after
the birth of the gentle Rabbi Christ to replace the abstract idea Shaitan, there is no reason
they shouldn't also create an imaginary lake of fire to put their imagainary persona into. Now,
if this tends to sound like circular logic, well, it is, it is hard not to fall into the central
patterns of logic of any faith you discuss or debate.

is also thrown into the lake of fire along with it.

Not to start an argument, but that is an interpretation of a singular
translation's interpretation. Also, King James version is not exactly
true
to the latin or to the Greek, which isn't exactly true to the Aramaic.
Evil was only an abstract through the 9th-12th century. Theologians
created a persona to go with the concept to beat the peasents over the
head with. Satan is little but a hebrew word--Shaitan--personalized
into an name. Many demons inhabit the "lower regions" of old time
Judeo-Christian mythos, but Satan (by name) wasn't one of them.
Also, calling folks minions of shaitian, would have little impact, but
give this evil the persona of a druidic fertility God, with some aspects
of Bacchus and pan, then call it "Satan King of Hell" and scare the
"hell"
out of the illiterate men, women, and especially the children. At the
same time
setting the Druids up for a fall.
In closing, it is all latter day propaganda to confirm and propagate the
Christian faith. Oh yes, that clicked something, Propaganda is a direct
derivation for the Jesuits latin words. propos and something else, that
meant, literally, say what you must to bring them to the faith, i.e.,
Propaganda.
