Look, Bub. Say what you want about my religion, but don't start this
"I must challenge your beliefs and counter your philosophies" nonsense.
Why not live and let live? You believe your way, and I will believe mine.
Jody's paragraph seems to state the basic problem between christians and
the rest of the world. The "my religion is right and yours is wrong"
routine which seems to put a frenzy of "pagan bashing" into the heads
of those who would like to believe they really can change the thinking
of non christians. Whatever happened to "turn the other cheek"?
BTW, how would you feel if the pagans, witches, shamans, sorcerers, or
whatever you want to call us, decided that since you are so deluded and
obviously won't go to your post-earthly reward, that we have taken it upon
ourselves to "educate" you to the lies of christianity in order to save
your immortal soul? Would this be any different than your preceeding
paragraph? Why or why not?
