What Quiddich league do they play in?
Wait a second, didn't the founders come here to practice witchcraft and outlaw Christianity? Don't you listen to our democratic Senators?
***Lawyers for Wiccan practitioner Cynthia Simpson planned to file a motion***
Lawyers? Why not just put a spell on them!
Wiccans are sad, foolish, disturbed, often man-hating, damaged, pathetic women using the stupidity and ignorance of the ages to fill the huge holes in their souls.
People should be laughing at them. For that is the sum total of their "wiccanism," laughable stupidity.
I thought Wiccans believed that nature and Earth overrule man and man's laws. Why, then, are they so concerned with a simple prayer at a local meeting?
Hmmm. Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof. Not allowing Wiccan convocation does not prevent free exercise. But, it does indicate something akin to aversion. Tough to say where this one will go. It'll probably boil down to not allowing a formal convocation by any religious figure, which has been the response in the past. The trouble with the ACLU is an entrenched anti-establishment attitude that goes back to the founding of that organization by, essentially, communists. Christianity plays a large establishment role in the US, so the ACLU is against it, rather than the other way around, which would be support for Wicca or any other religion that is outside of the establishment. When you get right down to it, the ACLU is antireligion. Some religions are more "revolutionary" than others, and hence more useful. But they'll all be eventually targeted.
"People should be laughing at them. For that is the sum total of their "wiccanism," laughable stupidity."
As a Jew I guess I should say the same thing about Christians.
BTW, the US government, even our military recognizes "Wicca" as an established religion. Wiccan services are even held on military installations to include Ft. Hood.
I got a better idea. Let the wiccan come say a "prayer" and then beat the hell out of 'em in the alley afterwords. Then they won't want to come back and the problem is solved. (just kidding of course)
Local radio host said "Don't pi$$ her off, she's a witch!"
This is my home county. I don't want a Wiccan praying. But since they county allows Christians, Jews and Muslims, I don't see how they can/should stop this.
As with free speech, religious freedom only exists if it applies to all. This is an example of the government taking sides in a religious debate, and that cannot be allowed.
I doubt you know any Wiccans. Don't believe everything you read from fundamentalists. BTW, there are a lot of male Wiccans too.
Probably not, since many core Christian beliefs are actually Jewish beliefs.
Pan-thiests lost that round.
I always confuse Wiccans with Satanism. Is there a difference ?
For Wiccans, right?
"As with free speech, religious freedom only exists if it applies to all. This is an example of the government taking sides in a religious debate, and that cannot be allowed."
So, you beieve that the government, by not allowing this witch to participate in the invocation, is "establishing" a religion or preventing the "free exercise" thereof?
Court rulings have gone way too far to ensure that Americans are "free from religion" by forcing us to publicly acknowledge all religions, neutering the religious nature of traditional celebrations or by not allowing the public celebration of a particular religion at all.
