> While I can't claim Christians did not do this, I would wait until the police get someone into custody before I'd editorialize about how nasty those Christians are.

If the situation was reversed, and Pagans were suspected of terrorizing a Christian activist... would you remain as uncertain?

Any time something bad happens to a Christian, I do not immediately presume it was done by a Wiccan. When it is a crime committed expressly out of hate for a person for being a Christian, I still do not presume it was done by a wiccan. I do not blame wiccans for each and every burnt church, desecrated sanctuary, slandered preist, repression of religion, or stolen nativity-scene Jesus. So what about this story means that a Christian has anything to do with it? The only ties the alleged crime has to the Christian community are her own acts of suppression against Christianity. It's not like someone wrote a note on the bird, saying "this bird died for your sins against Christ." And as I noted, there are plenty of warped Christians who do terrible things, but this just doesn't sound like a Christian wack job's modus operandi.

There are multitudinous groups out there who hate wiccans. And most of them also hate Christians. And most of them see each other as just as big of targets as they see Christians, or Wiccans, or Jews, or Muslims.

So at first I published the expectation that other anti-Wiccan groups whose tactics are a bit more pagan might have done it: neo-nazis, cultists, etc.

But then I learned that this woman is literally a professional victim. Go to Salem, MA, and see the way they hold those crimes against CHRISTIANS as proof of their holocaust. Her sole purpose in life is to establish that Christians are bad people. It is hardly inconceivable that should a tragedy befall her, she would exploit it to attack Christians as SHE HAS DONE HER ENTIRE LIFE.

Sorry, in a world where 99% of the solved abortion "bombings" have turned out to be done by pro-choice activists or the abortionists themselves, I learn not to automatically presume as gospel truth the accusations made by professional victims.
