I was not discussing the relative merits or difference of the various religions I was only pointing out, how people use certain accusations as part of an operation against a group that they do not like.

I remember in North Ireland on patrol with members of the RUC and one a protestants was telling me how all Catholics were dirty lazy and bred faster than rabbits, as a catholic I found it amusing when I pointed out that I was a catholic he stated well not all of them

This article just underpins a major point which is that people always seem more interested in denying others there rights than defending there own rights. This always allows governments to operate the divide and rule policy, many people who attack the WOD and opposes some forms of censorship do not because they are all smut freaks, sex mad or drug addicts, but because they understand that what you ask a government to do to others eventually the government will do to you

This is a pretty big generalization that I can't agree with. For one thing it would be impossible to prove or disprove. I don't find the rule/precept in the bible which really makes me doubtful.

Yes that is very true regarding peoples motivation for defending weed and smut. It is like the anti-gun people going after one type of gun after another, but only those with very small followings. But I won't be fooled into supporting, for example, a bunch of gays who decide to call themselves a religion, no matter how it seems that they are being treated unfairly. The fact remains that they are sodomites and I will not fight for their freedom to sodomize. I think people have a right to be witches also but so often I find that it is not as spiritual and deep as I would like to think. It is often just a mask for sexual perversion.

If a group wants to hold black masses and renounce everything that is in the bible, then they are free to do that and they should be. But I won't go out of my way to support them because fundamentally, they are wrong in their beliefs. I also would never want the to be forced to claim to believe something they are not. Then they wind up teaching your kids sunday school.
