- By the way. Wiccecraft is the religion of my ancestors, with roots and
- traditions as deep as those exported from the middle east by the by the
- Yahweh cults. It is recognised by our government as a legitimate
- religion, and enjoys the same constitutional privileges as any other
- religion.

- and
-
- Adultery is a contact sport second only to footbal in this country.
-
- The Bible seems to be of two minds regarding murder, and makes several
- references that contradict the commandment against it.
-
- There is one in Psalms that exhorts the chosen people to smash their
- enemys babies heads on the rocks!

- Sin is sin, sin is not necesarily crime.
- For those of us who do not believe in the religions of the Yahweh cults
- the bible is nothing more than ground up trees and ink.
