@Jesus Camp video
It is astonishing to think that people see Wicca as a dark religion. Well, it may be dark, but certainly not evil. Granted, that video only expresses the views of a handful of Christians as opposed to the religion as a whole.... of which people usually follow a path of charitable will and acceptance to all in the name of their god. A similar skeptical eye may have people believe that all Wiccans think spells are more than a psychological effect, attend covens and worship a horned deity, none of which is true as I do not follow anything of that sort.
It is a shame that people who stand behind the name of the same religion can lead our children down such radically different paths. When you begin to teach your children to fight a war of bigotry... one may begin to question where the true evils in this world lie.

Ah, awesome. Excited the see responses so soon

It's frightening to hear them talk about taking over government, and war. I think it goes without saying that if Jesus was alive today he wouldn't identify as "christian", and definitely not as evangelical.
What makes them interesting, from an outside perspective, is their focus on spiritual war--really, what does it mean when a religion focuses on violence rather than peace? It's obvious they are more interested in the growth and continuation of their institution than their own spiritual development, (which is almost the definition of organized religion.) But above all, it’s a terrible shame (and to use their own vocabulary, an abominable sin,) that they violate the minds and hearts of such young children.

o_O I was two seconds away from deleting that account this afternoon thinking "god, I really should be more proactive against these spam bots" (I had hit the icon and everything and only had one more step to complete)
o_o; Thank god my next thought was "meh, I'll be more proactive starting tomorrow."
^_^;; Welcome to the forums, calibri... ... the new guy who almost wasn't... o_O;;
