Very true, Painted Wolf, which is probably why Doctor Who has never caught on with mainstream American audiences like, say, Star Trek (in whatever incarnation) or Battlestar Galactica has. The main hero thinks his way out of jams, instead of blasting his way out. The show reflects the British...
I was thinking about starting my own religious debate forum. So I did a search (yes, on Google) to see if another one had already been done and I found this place.
I know, exciting stuff.

I wasn't laying all the blame on Wiccans. Far from it. As I said it "I'm not saying this is the case, but it certainly contributes, I would think." And I stand by that. It does contribute.
As far as people not knowing much about Pagan beliefs, that's on them to learn. They should be the ones...
I think there's some confusion here. I am not sure where you misunderstood my reasoning at, but I never, NEVER said anyone needed to die.
My only point was that a government should not be run on religious values, Christian, Pagan, or otherwise. I don't know why that's so hard for you to grasp...
Sure do. Christian rhetoric. What's your point?
And I have NEVER advocated the removal (i.e. killing/purging/etcetera) of any religious group, of any kind. All I want is to have a government that is not run by fundamentalists, of any stripe, who will get us involved in long, drawn out wars over...
I wish there were more people, not just Christians, but non-religious people who thought this way. (And no, I'm not saying Christians aren't' people too.) ;)

:eek: I disagree! Religion is a private matter, and, were you to ask me in real life what my religion is, my answer would be to tell you to butt out. It's none of your business. I'd tell you the same thing about politics.
As I said, Christians are commanded to spread the word. I was never...
Then they've gone beyond the bounds of what they were commanded to do. As Caladan said it's an election year and many Christians see the opportunity to use the election to spark a religious debate. A debate which will, of course, lead back to Jesus.
If it really bothers you, I'd suggest just...
Never said there weren't peaceful Christians. But you can't deny that that the Crusades were not meant to cleanse the holy land of unbelievers or other such rubbish.
Wars started by Christians.
Obama was born in Hawaii. That's a US State. Check out his website.
I would say his loyalties lie in America, personally.;)
I think you're just fearmongering.

More than the Republican party is comfortable with.
Incorrect. The Constitution protects us from ANY religious group of people governing this nation.
No religion is peaceful. Exactly why separation of church and state is in place.
Then all the Christians have to leave government service...
Some of it might have something to do with the controversy surrounding Gavin and Yvonne Frost's Good Witches Bible, which contains questionable material concerning the initiation of just pubescent children (ages 9-11) into Wicca. (I can't provide a link just yet, as I've not made more than 15...
