"Pagan Pride Day"?

We really do live in a wonderfully open society. However, if this group starts beheading people as part of their rituals, opinion could change.

GOODY!

Now we can start restricting THEIR freedom of religion!

[Buck W.]

What exactly is a pagan? I'm not trying to be flip, but how would I distinguish a pagan from an atheist?

[AmishDude]

Thank me in wherever I am right now!

Now, if they could just get around to recognizing AmishDudeism.

"Interfaith"

So, wicca's a faith now is it? Faith in what? Who? Trees and frogs...?

"Paganism on the March" ping! I think a sacrilege that is overlooked these days is the fact that at many universities/colleges, they have chapels where many religions have services. I think it's problematic, to say the least, for Catholics to offer Mass in these chapels, such as Marsh Chapel at Boston University, where Hindus and Wiccas have their services. Except in specifically-listed circumstances, such as in the case of military chaplains, Mass should only be offered in consecrated spaces.

Wiccans, D&D, and Trekkies kinda hang out together.

"The majority of the group follows Wicca, but the group welcomes anyone who..."

...has a hole in his head.

[Digger]

All of this for just a measly $38,000 per yr! Such a deal!

I suppose when all else fails,
you can try out the- Moonie's.

I am a Wicca and the reason I joined was because the Grand Wicca told me that there hasn't been an Islamofacist Fatwa about separating us from our heads yet. Of course, that could change at any time, in which case I'm going to switch over to something else.

[B-Chan]

As if. Wicca is so 1990. Kabbalah is where all the hot art school chicks are at these days.

Wow! BU is really cutting edge these days. This ranks right in there with the the new BU student publication.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

U.S. Government Publication No.008-020-00745-5

"Minimum Requirements for Worship: The athame, or ritual knife; the pentacle, a metal disc inscribed with magical symbols; a chalice; and a sword. Various traditions will demand other items.

Facilities for Worship: Witches worship within a magick circle that is inscribed on the ground or the floor. The circle should be located so as to insure the privacy of the rituals."

Also known as "US Army Chaplain's Guide to Wicca." Wish I were making this up.

Sorta reminds me of when going to Catholic school as a kid, giving money to the Pagan Baby Fund.

BU ping

[Dr.Zoidberg]

If Mohammedanism can be a religion, so can nude, co-ed, full contact delusion. They both have the same credibility

Yeehaw!!

A group who started burning people at the stake could have problems too.

Please go back to lurking, and come back when you've learned at least something about the religion you're commenting on.
