"God" being "The Prime Mover", and "Goddess" being "Mother Earth"...correct? Nothing wrong with Wicca. Always liked the Wiccan saying "An it harm none, do what thou wilt". "An" being an arcane version of "if".

Time for those fertility rights to be celebrated Sunday morning as the sun worship begins. The queen of heaven in all her glory will save your soul from being turned into chocolate. They will have the egg roll on the white house lawn so if you leave now you can make it. Wake up Christian America and use your eyes for the first time I wonder if the pagans get mad about the Christians using one of there gods ? Anime what do you think ? I know Tbelle has all her eggs in a row

I can't speak for every Pagan in the world. However, traditionally speaking, those who practice the tradition that I do find it rather flattering to see others acknowledge our deities. I don't want to open a heated debate by saying this, but many modern holidays have Pagan origins as well as cooresponding Pagan deities.

I could not agree more. Christians will not step up to the plate and separate the two. So called preachers in churches find it much easier to leave the pagan practices in the Christian churches and so the flock will follow The facts are all there and "TRADITION" takes the place of the Bible. What say you Sister Tbelle I could not think of a better post for my millennium post. We do not need preachers but real teachers that read the Word as it is written. Great thread
