Where I live those of us who attend Open Circle in a public use park literally had to get a court order so we could evict people who were there to do nothign but harrass us because of our faith.  We have been called every foul name in the book and been accused of things that are wholy unbelievable.  Several us, after leaving one night, were followed by people who had a mic hooked up to a loudspeaker in their car and they trailed us shouting scripture and all manner of other things to us eventhough we ignored them and didn't say anything back.  By far these are the minority for sure but for the most part chruches do nothing to curb these so-called 'enthusiastic' members.  Leaders of churches have publicly denounced Wiccans and have called us the tools of the devil and denounced us from pulpits.  It seems that since Wicca has made a comeback it has become a favorite whipping boy of Christians.  For example, some of the worst things you can accuse someone of us practicing the occult.  When someone wants to denounce someone that is what they pull out.  Not that they are wrong or bad for other reasons but because they 'practice the occult'.  Most cults have been accused of it as well because they are religions they don't agree with.  Most major christan religions have warned of the danger of Wicca and the occult and saying it is nothing but the practice of the devil.  There are even entire books out there about the 'dangers of occult practices and how to keep your kids away from it or they may be sacrificing their soul'.  None of that sounds like tolerance to me, more like biggotry.  Yet none of the major christian factions have denounced this or tried to curb it in the name of tolerance.  Isn't silence in this matter as good and condoning it?\n\nWhereas, the difference is, Wiccans teach tolerance and acceptance of EVERYONE, no matter their religion, race, creed or sexual orientation. \n\nThink about it...
