Frustrated.

So, seriously...when IS it okay to speak against something I don't agree with? Just how long am I supposed to shut up, nod and smile to practices that I have a problem with in the name of "supporting the pagan community" or whatever.

Unfortunatly it never is and never will be OK as long as society remains closed minded. The first ammendment is nothing more then a ruse to make people speak there mind so that the government has targets to brainwash and or silence so that their utopia becomes a reality and the world is normal. I agree that we should be free to worship as we choose as long as it harms none, but the majority of people don't agree and feel that everything mainstream is write and everything else is wrong.

the funny thing though is the issue in reference isn't about people worshipping or the government or whatever...it's about that whole Witch School fiasco. (i've posted about it a few times if you havn't seen)

a discussion came up on a list that I'm on about the excecution of the idea- a pagan list- and it got ugly.

Basically, I'm an elitist snob because I have a problem with this Witch School thing. I'm "dividing the pagan community" and not being supportive.

I had the same problem on a mailing list for a local Wiccan/Neopagan group here in MI. Apparently there were Witch School "life members", and I got jumped as being close-minded... she actually used the Rede on me (somehow, that essay by juliaki was "harming others"). I could see where things were going when the list member was being applauded by other list members.

Some days, I really don't like other Pagans.
