So called interfaith discussion groups, often
run and moderated by Wicca practitioners aren’t really discussion groups at
all, but places «thriving» on censorship, where all true disagreement is
squashed.
It’s easy to see why they exist. Religious
groups are very similar and that they seek common ground shouldn't come as a
surprise to anybody.
The true objective is to squash critical
voices and people criticizing religion.
I’m pagan, pagan as in not Wicca. Wicca is
just one more religion, one more dogmatic belief system. Its proponents, even
though there are individual differences of course want to dam, even block what
they call negative emotions and all expression of it. They also censor what
they deem inappropriate. How very Christian of them and to all true pagans they
seem very much like Christian light, not only fluffy bunnies (a very
appropriate term)… Honest people are being banned constantly from such
gatherings. That’s not pagan to me. Pagans, to me and many other witches
embrace and savor all human emotion, leaving nothing behind.
I guess interfaith gatherings are better than
them waging war against each other, but in truth it isn’t so different. The
true war is the one they are waging against all the rest of us, those rejecting
religion and decrying it as a truly negative influence in human life.
For further reading I recommend this piece -
The Raging Witch - which is a great deeper study of the subject.
