-
- Sorry.. I'm really sorry...
- But I haven't seen anyone carrying a pentagram here in Finland,
- such a small place..
-
- > Hell, the US flag has 50 5-pointed stars, but you don't hear anybody
- > call it satanic.
-
- Look, I didn't say that I still think it's satanic!
- I just said back there that my view has been broadened!
-
- > But put one on a rock album or on a piece of jewelry...watch
- > out!...them gawdless, un-american,
-
- So un-american is the same as shit, right?
-
- > I'm sorry folks. I'm just getting my fill of it. I try to be nice.
- > I try to be open minded.
-
- Do you have to read and post in that mood then, wouldn't it be
- nicer to everyone if you didn't post when you feel like that,
- everyone get's enough once in a while...
-
- > I have never, NEVER, felt the beauty of nature and life the way I do

-
- Amazing, your heart is full of love for life and nature, yet you
- bust into flames like this.
-
- > Never in all my life being raised as a devoted Christian. And yet they

-
- I'm not christian, I haven't found any religion to match my own
- yet and I don't think you're evil.
-
- > Being pounded on all sides because we're different.
-
- I haven't punded anyone because he/she is different, at least
- not in the net.
-
- > These are the things they call EVIL and SATANIC and UNGODLY!
-
- Too bad they call it that, too bad I called it that.
-
- > I cry.
-
- Helps you to get rid of harmful chemicals.
-

- I'll listen and consider anything you tell me, just pour it out.
-

- > to meaning of said symbol...and what for?
-
- To be quite honest, I think (THINK) you attacked me or someone
- else.
-
- > If you find it evil, so be it.
-
- I don't know what I find it anymore, but it's not evil anymore,
- I have received many opinions of what it represents, I have yet
- to find out what it means to me.
-
- > You may be able to hurt me,
-
- I do not wish to hurt you in any way,
-
- > and curse me, and make my existence in this society miserable, but you
- > can never take that embrace away.
-
- I wouldn't want to do that. Right now, all I would like to do is
- to sort out this mess, tell you what I think and don't think,
- hear what you think and don't think.
-
- > Even in death you cannot rob me of the beauty that is represented by

-
- I wouldn't want to!
