Good one!

Thanks. I do what I can.

Dang! Then how about all those poker games he keeps losing to me? Dude still owes me $685! It's always some crap about the rent checks not coming in in time or not clearing. I told him...if he's dealing with liars and cheaters and such anyway, he can't expect them to honestly pay the rent. He should demand direct deposit payments straight to his account.

Again, you are playing into his hands. Next time he's going to end up getting $1,351 out of you - making it so that you owe him $666

Be really hard to do that. We don't play for that much in one sitting. He's built up that debt over quite some time. I'm an evil Pagan...I'm not stupid. Though I'm kinda kicking myself for letting his debt get that big. May be time for me to call in some kind of debt repayment from him. Got any souls you want released?

I'm a candle burning, incense and sage smoking, circle casting, ritual gown wearing, chanting, spell working, sword bearing, wand waving, talking to the elementals, praying to the Goddess and the God, walking out in the moonlight barefoot, blessing rainwater under the full moon, salt scattering, dancing, singing, pentacle wearing, Wiccan witch.

Now why don't you try to harp on my ritual clothing, my choice of beliefs, my practices, and so on and so forth. And back the hell off of poking at the Mormons for once!

Why do wiccan witches and other non-Christian religious people come to the support of Mormons? It is very obvious. I know the Scriptures proclaim that the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. The gospel of grace is an offense to the flesh when shared. Yet wiccan witches and other non-Christians support Mormons who are also profess to be Christians too. Do you find that LDS Christainty to be less of an offense than historical biblical Christianity?

No, we find people who try to cram the "right" way to believe down others' throats offensive. We have been on the receiving end of the bigotry that you and others like you spew and know how it feels. We don't like seeing that happen to anyone else. It's kind of like being slapped around as a child and then seeing another child get slapped around. Our hearts go out to them. It has nothing to do with who believes what. It has to do with respect and tolerance. Something some people just don't get.

Those who have kicked in alongside me in this thread realize what I'm saying is true. They see discrimination and bigotry and proselytizing when they see it. They have been on the receiving end of it as well. We stand up for others who find themselves on the receiving end. I don't care if they be Mormons, Catholics, Luciferians, Mystics, Shamans, Druids, or anyone else. If they are constantly attacked for their beliefs and told they are wrong...they have my support.

Because they are attacked. I suspect many of us have come to the support of other Christians as well.
