Parents should be allowed to raise their child in whatever religion they please. Some of the mainstream beliefs are a lot crazier than wicca, and a lot less relevant to the problems of our time. Wicca might actually be a good religion nowadays with the increased concern for the environment. |

He feels comfortable wielding the fundamentalist xtian hammer under today´s neocon political climate. Bush himself said he doesn´t consider wicca/paganism to be ´real´ religions. The judge isn´t stupid, he´s crafty. He knows most people have apathy and won´t do anything. He knows the people probably don´t have the money to fight the issue. And worst of all he knows once somebody has set a precedent that other fundie judges in other courts can cite it as an example. It was a non-issue in the divorce, the judge had no right to even address it. But he was comfortable in doing so. The judge is backed up in his opinion by the people who made the inquiry. His decision will probably lead to some amount of public abuse to the parents and possibly to the child. Many will see him as a local hero. I´m not pagan or wiccan but I am a humanitarian. As such, I strongly urge all pagans and wiccans to do some organizing and public outreach before these kind of things become everyday happenings. Y´all need some spokespeople. They want to burn you, again. We all know it. We all see it coming. |

As such, it can be ignored. You will suffer the rath of the court is you do ignore it but eventually you will prevail. We have a right to religious freedom, right or wrong we can practice our own religion without government intervention. |

I don´t think you´re as alone as you may perceive. |

Yeah, we Wiccan´s are SO FRIGGIN EVIL believing in Earth, balance and harming none! I guess the next step is abolishing all Native Americans from passing on their beliefs to the young ones too! It´s no different folks...many can learn from the principles, practices and spirituality of NON-traditional beliefs. And what´s NON-traditional about it??? These concepts, practices and beliefs were around LONG before christianity! Pathetic! |

This has been the main stream action of ALL ORGANIZED RELIGIONS since the take over by the DOMINATOR CULTURE. This sort of persecution will escalate and thats why JP2 spent 26 years reinstituting the INQUISITION and why he appointed RAT-pappa in 81 to reconstruct any broken threads so as to prepare for the time when so many of us are AWAKE and know FREEDOM OF THOUGHT is what our DIVINITY IS ALL ABOUT ! GOD IS MIND AND IT MUST BE FREE ! Those who dont speak up are assisting by condoning. The ACLU isnt all bad and there are many wiccan and PAGAN sites that list who to call or write and what to say that wont aggravate the SENSITIVE judaeo-christian-islamist fundie haters of FREEDOM and BEAUTY ask where u can do an act of refutation of this encroachment and do it OFTEN. A SCREAMING PAGAN! |
