- IMHO, There are good men and not so good men in the pagan community as
- there is in most communities (I admit I not so sure about the
- Neo_nazi's). I don't think that just because someone calls
- themselves Pagan/Wiccan they necessarily are not abusive. I evaluate
- someone on their behavior, actions, attitudes NOT on their religion.
-
- I can find good and not so good in every community.
- In the best of all possible worlds, If everyone lived up to the tenets
- of their religion (Whatever it is), the world would indeed be a wonderful
- place. In my travels, I've only met a few people who really do live
- by the tenets of their faith at all times. (Myself included.)
-
- Blessings.
