I always STAND up for you

But seriously it makes me when these "bigots" just make wild accusations and don't actually understand the religion. That is mean. And it makes me evn more cross when they call others Hellbounders or Satanists that is rude, so much for their belief on accepting and loving ppl for what they are.

The way I see it, Soul, is that that everyone, no matter who they are, fears the unknown. A religion like Paganism is unknown to these fanatics, and they fear even learning about it because they fear it may be, in some way, shape or form, a "sin" so to speak, against their own religion.

It is they who fear being condemned to hell and so they are projecting their fear of hell onto us by condemning us to it. Does that make any sense?

All Satanists are Pagans, but not all Pagans are Satanists.

You just reminded me of one of my favorites that I think someone had for a signature not long ago:

"Minds are like parachutes, they only function when open."

Maybe minds are like parachutes they only function when open at the correct time..otherwise they should stay closed for future use?

Good point. No sense having a parachute open unless for safety tests and when falling from 5oo feet in the air.

I think Druid dude's quote was good

And the sweetie gets frubals for saying "It is they who fear being condemned to hell and so they are projecting their fear of hell onto us by condemning us to it."

Excellent, I should get your opinion on other things too

First off , there are Truths in Satanism , if those are the truths you wish to follow .

Second , people see Horns , and that is as far as they get . The Horned One vs Satan's horns .... hey , they both have horns , so they have to be the same , right ?
