Earlier today I posted a comment similar to the one below; the way it works is they won't post it until you respond to an email they send you. Kind of like craigslist. Except the email never came, and I'm thinking somebody censored it. I guess it's their prerogative to not post a comment other people may find offensive, but mine was far from the most incendiary.
As a wiccan, I really don't understand why people are so sensitive about their religious beliefs. I was raised a Roman Catholic, and those guys seemed way relaxed about it, and very tolerant of other points of view. (Although there is that doctrine about how only Catholics go to heaven...) I hear that now pastor Terry Jones wants revenge - isn't that how wars start?
But then the xenophobia is what keeps the congregation coming every Sunday, keeps propagating that point of view, that philosophy, and that fear of what will happen after death. My God is more powerful than yours; God is on MY side, and that makes me right. I could go on but I won't. It's a waste of my time.
I leave with the words of the immortal (hah!) George Carlin:
"Keep thy religion to thyself."
