I am not bashing anyone. I have the right to refuse to read someone's posts. I am not bashing anyone's religious beliefs because wicca is not a religion. That's all I'm saying. I will make no more responses to this thread because, in the end, it's pointless. ----- Original Message ----- From: dasha To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 9:26 AM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Paul Harvey
Sharon, a religion is what a person believes, not what you or anyone else says it is. Christ teaches tolerance, where is yours or anyone else that bashes a person for believing differently? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of SharonK Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 10:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Paul Harvey I am neither ignorant nor rude. Nor am I denying anyone's right to their beliefs. Fyi, wicca is not a religion. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cindy Sparks To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 8:59 AM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Paul Harvey OMG Lets not start bashing other peoples religion, its wrong and petty to do that. This is as I understand it a chihuahua group first and foremost. I am neither one of the religions that have been mentioned yet you dont see me bitching about anything that is posted here as I value the advice and friendship of the people on the group. Please lets try to act like adults not show your ignorance by being rude and denying other peoples right to beleive what they want!! I admit that I dont personally know John or Claudia but they both feel like good decent people and I like to see what they write!

We are a group of chihuahua lovers who also happen to love Christ. Sometimes these 2 interlace. I, for one, take objection to you Wiccan signature. I've never said anything about it though because I believe everyone has the right to make their own choices. But after reading this email from you, I can no longer hold my tongue. The Bible states that witchcraft (ANY kind of witchcraft) is strictly forbidden. I will no longer read any of your posts.

Paul's first premise is wrong. "Paul Harvey and Prayer " Paul Harvey says: "This is the United States of America , a country founded on Christian principles". The United States was not founded on Christian principles, Several of the Founders of the Constitution and Bill of Rights were not Christians. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were Unitarians. The Unitarians have never held Jesus of Nazareth as thier Savior as you Christians do. Yor Bible is a good piece of literature. If you choose to believe it as the Word of God, then so be it. I do not believe that the New Testament Bible is directly handed down from God anymore than the Qurran or the Old Testament, epecially if you read the King James Version of the New Testament. I thought this was a group where we could information on our dogs, not a place to have someone else's religion thrown at me at a constant basis. Maybe I was wrong. If so, then lets rename this group and I can leave. John Kariotis. (GraeWolf) Bide the Wiccan law ye must, in Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: "And ye harm none do what ye will". Lest in thy self-defense it be, ever mind the Rule of Three. Follow this with mind and heart, and merry ye meet, and merry ye part. -- cindy http://sparkyrat.deviantart.com/
