A few Comments
First off, uh, DATAGUYX: Think of them what you will, but Wiccans do not try to convert others to their beliefs.
This business about Christians being persecuted: Christians are finally being called on their b.s. and that makes them feel they are being persecuted.
Is Darcy Steinke a real person? We get these essays every now and again about how some doubter or another has decided to throw in the towel and embrace nonsense. It's kind of like Dr. Strangelove ("How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb). And Sister Leslie is just plain creepy. Although I'm sure she means well.
Ben Franklin was totally right (yet another reason to like him) when he said Christian dogma is totally indecipherable. It makes no sense whatsoever. And it has nothing to do with what The Christ was all about. He was all about LOVE. LOVE is the deal, LOVE is the bottom line.
There is very little in the Bible that is original, most of it came from other belief systems. The term Bible itself comes from the city of Byblos, dedicated to the Goddess of Knowledge. The term "Easter" comes from the same root word as Estrus, Estrogen, etc: It's all about female fertility, baby.
By the way, while a good writer, CS Lewis was a major weinie. Scared to death of adult females, among other things.
I can't even fathom how Anonymous's mind works. All that blather about humankind being "fallen" and getting "redeemed" The disconnection going on there is amazing. Whatever gets you through the night, I guess.
