If Harry Potter, Sabrina, and Bewitched are responsible for making pagans and witches out of today's youth ... then, I guess, these guys ...
... made all of us oldsters idiots and con-men.

The last time I checked, freedom of religion still applied in this country.

So you admit that Harry celebarates a pagan holiday!:) I really don't care what he celebrates. My family and I love the books and the movies. If one is comfortable with his or her own religion, then that person shouldn't find the beliefs of others threatening.
P.S. If there is anyone out there who knows a spell to have a house clean itself, please FReepmail me. Or, if that is too difficult, how about a spell to stop a Golden Retriever from shedding????

Pagans don't believe in the Christian "Satan". Period. Funny, a Wiccan I know said Wicca could be practiced in any way the person wanted.

Yes... and "conservatives" I know see nothing wrong with doubling the size of government.
What is your point?

My point is that you can't make such hard and fast rules for Pagans. They can believe in the Devil if they wish.

Precisely! Harry Potter books are great! My husband and I will be attending the Midnight Magic party Friday.

People who are so intellectually bereft as to adopt a "belief system" allegedly found in the Harry Potter books would be believing something else stupid absent the books. Let's not dogpile on Ms. Rowling.

Soaring Pagan numbers have churches worrying and calling for stricter controls on cult TV programmes and films that celebrate sorcery like "Harry Potter", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch". Do what you will to Harry Potter and Sabrina, but hands off of Buffy! 
To: FairWitness
Hard to believe Sabrina the Teenage Witch could make teenage boys do stuff...
...then again, maybe it ain't THAT hard to believe...

They have it all wrong. Liberal, faggot priests and pastors who believe in social justice rather than God and Jesus is what is fueling the trend towards paganism.
To: AppyPappy
They can believe in the Devil if they wish. Not and stay true to the "harm none" principle that is so central to their beliefs.

Forgive me for replying to myself, but could all you pagans out there (big surge, right?) please hurry with those "house cleaning" and "stop the hairy dog from shedding" spells? I'm going to the grocery store in a few minutes and would like to know if I need to pick anything up.

If 'the churches' have to worry about such lightweight stuff, then the churches' message is pretty weak to begin with.

Why would this happen today?
Why didn't "I dream of Jeanie" make us all pagans in the 50s?
Maybe because the mainline churches have made fools of themselves and the fundies are undignified.

The fundies are silly is what it is. I went on an evening when I was bored, to the waiting for the rapture message board. If ya want to see some kooks gathered in one spot, that is your place. These people see demons everywhere, and I am not speaking metaphorically. They all think they visually spot demons walking around, with horns and the like.
There is even an ongoing discussion about if Pokemon is opposed to the trinity. Remember that hoax a few years ago about Harry Potter leading kids into practicing witchcraft in record numbers? These people bought the onion type joke article hook, line, and sinker. It's scary.
