POPSWitchcraft not wicked "The overall finding was that teenage witches are engaging in witchcraft for positive life affirming reasons. (It) helps them make sense of the issues they are experiencing," Professor Ezzy said. "They are not fighting demons, as is sometimes displayed in popular media. Really there is nothing to be afraid of. The amount of witches is now roughly the same size as Mormons."

POPSBecause Tithing is Beneath Pagans! It will not happen anytime soon because: 1. Government should stay out of the religion business and so shouldn't contribute. 2. Christians, Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, etc. already give to THEIR OWN organizations. 3. And finally, Paganism abhors the concept of "tithing," in other words, Pagans are cheap! I'm a Wiccan Pagan and have tried to start a couple of Pagan organizations and these people just don't want to give! At least, not enough to make a difference. So that's why no Pagan seminary.

POPSWhile We're at it, Let's Put Down Minority Religions! Amazing. In just one run-on sentence this journalist puts down a whole religious group. I wonder if he wouldn't mind Christianity being classified as, "A bunch feeble-minded, accept anything on faith alone, middle age, polyester clad, big haired, no life sheep." Hey buddy, stick to your topic which is Harry Potter and stop putting down religious groups.

POPSWhat does this say about the volunteers? In every case, the volunteers saw the books given as an indication of the likes of the donors, except in the case of the Wicca books. Here they must have become "disillusioned" or just doing "research." People! Is it possible they liked and/or practiced Wicca? Have you ever considered THIS as a possibility!

POPSWhat a Whiner!!! A man lays down his life for his country and this man wants to deny him his choice of religion and keep him from using his own religious symbol on his own grave! I can't believe this. Then he whines about not being able to put artificial flowers on a grave. I guess honoring veterans is fine so long as he is able to put cheap flowers instead of the real thing.

POPSFINALLY! Finally, the VA has approved the pentagram for grave stones.

POPSShe's Baaack! A publisher couldn't ask for better publicity than a protest against your books. People will want to read the books for themselves and see what all the hub-bub is about, which amounts to more sales!
