That sounds pretty hopeless to me.
Not to mention vain and self-centered.

The article begs the question "what was the culture before it started turning pagan?"
To: sgtbono2002
Without penalty? With their prohibitions of "An it harm none" and the Threefold Law?
Just because they do see the same kinds of sin you do does not mean that they follow some Crowely-esque "Do what thou willt shall be the whole of the Law" kind of thing. Even the Satanists have a concept of "sin".

Crud... "Just because they don't see the"...
You'd think after all this time I'd learn to proof read a bit closer....

"Whatever happened to Moloch"
Moloch worship is alive and well in the U.S. No, wait, that's Mammon, sorry.

Money isn't the root of all Evil. In fact, money can be a force for great good.
Greed is a bad thing though. Especially if allowed to operate in a business/government ecology that rewards their theft and fraud. In that we can agree...

I believe paganism like scientology allows people to do as they like without penalty and that is the attraction. If you dont recognise an act as a sin you cannot commit one.Yes, excellent point! And that's why the newest fads of self worship are so popular among certain Hollywood types, who are emulated by their fans. Anything goes - except 'traditional' (always said as a slur) religion. I guess that's because 'traditional' religions recognize sins... The new sin is not being openminded and tolerant of others beliefs, but that tolerance ends with regards to traditional religion and they see no conflict with that.
To: Milltownmalbay
Though Wiccans have no core beliefs, she outlines some common beliefs in her book. These include the belief that all living things are of equal value, and that humans have no special place; the belief that they hold divine power that is unlimited by any deity; and the belief that they are gods and goddesses because of their personal power.Then what's the difference between a "Wiccan" and an Left-Wing Democrat?
To: Dead Corpse
Yes: But I wouldnt be too worried about sinning against Satan, and your Post indemnifies mine that they may have a concept of sin, but their concept allows for greater allowances for their lifestyle.
To: sgtbono2002
Indemnify? What an odd turn of phrase to use. You clearly stated that these people have no concept of a penalty for their actions, when they clearly do. Just not that same standard as the Judeo-Christian one.

"Is public worship, then, a sin,
That for devotions paid to Bacchus
The lictors dare to run us in,
And resolutely thump and whack us?"
Ambrose Bierce
The world as we know it is, and has always been, extremely devoted to the worship of Mammon, and of Bacchus as well. Thus there's nothing new here.

"Whatever happened to Moloch, Dagon, Baal, Chemosh and all those guys?"
Haven't you read the memo? They have been laid off. Mammon, Bacchus and Venus are still on the payroll, though.

I'm confused. If humans have no special place, why do they hold divine power that is unlimited by any deity, and how could they be gods and goddesses because of their personal power? That's not "special"?
