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."

POPSWiccan Pentacle Added to Emblems Allowed on Headstones The pentacle has been added to 38 symbols the VA already permits on gravestones. They include commonly recognized symbols for Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism, as well as those for smaller religions such as Sufism Reoriented, Eckiankar and the Japanese faith Seicho-No-Ie. VA-issued headstones, markers and plaques can be used in any cemetery, whether it is a national one such as Arlington or a private burial ground like that on Circle Sanctuary's property. Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons. Variations of the pentacle not accepted by Wiccans have been used in horror movies as a sign of the devil.

POPSThe Top Dozen Religions of the World I'm amazed that a large portion of the world is Islam. Obviously, there may be drastic implications of a global, Islamic Jihad, which is why peace must be fostered among ALL religions. Unfortunately, Islamic extremists believe our occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is a threat/war against Islam. America, on the other hand, can't even agree on what the fuck the meaning behind our occupation is.

POPSMy first YouTube video My first attempt at making a video using my digital camera. Somewhat grainy, but we have to play with iMovies to see how we can get the quality higher while still remaining within the upload limit.

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!

POPSGa. mother seeks Harry Potter ban Another whacko! Heck, they might want to ban the jewish and muslim stories from their schools too or why not remove all the books that talk about alternative religons or beliefs. Mankind is doomed with people like this in society.

POPS"Only God Can Fill Pagans' Emptiness" News flash: Most pagans have LEFT the mainstream because their needs were not being fulfilled. They "filled the emptiness" elsewhere because the mainstream wasn't doing the job.

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!

POPSTucker Carlson: Wiccan lottery winner = government subsidation of Satanism
Here's my nominee for Wanker of the Day. A Wiccan wins big in the lottery, says he attributes the win to Wiccan Magic and that he's going to use his winnings to quit his job and teach Wicca full time. Now, if a winner has attributed his winnings to Jesus and said that he was going to use his winnings to quit his job and teach Christianity, everyone would talk about how wonderful what he's doing is - but I can't imagine any pundit or politician claiming that its an example of the government subsidizing Christianity, eh? And, of course, if I understand how lotteries work, the government isn't subsidizing ANYTHING. The whole point of government run lotteries is for the state to be able to raise money - usually to be used in funding education and such. Its all the other lottery players who are "subsidizing" the winners (if you want to put it that way.) Anyway, just had to share that particular crock of crap. What a f*#^!ng donkey!

POPSWitch Fined $249 For Disturbance Comment from Witchvox forum: "rather than the whole burning rubber and plastic in a fire too close to a structure, yelling in the middle of the night and waking up the neighbors who have real jobs to go to in the morning, being drunk and disorderly and resisting arrest, and, oh yeah, giving the rest of us a bad name when you try to use Witchcraft as an excuse for your obnoxious behavior, then yeah...it was all very positive."

POPSWitch Arrested After Yelling Chants Worship of some newly-purchased moonshine, not the new moon, was her inspiration for this stunt. Dancing around a bonfire in her underwear, in a residential area, burning rubber and plastic? It's a wonder she didn't get lighter fluid on herself and become a torch. This is one reason that I choose to BE public, soas to give a more sane face in balance to this sort of moonbat.
