Towey's (Faith-based Initiative) remarks about Pagans,
Edited on Tue Dec-09-03 11:32 AM by G_j
World Daily Net is doing a poll about whether or not the comments by Towey's remarks and the majority in the poll think he was right or that Pagans can't do squat.

The URL is: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/polls/index.asp

2. pretty strange stuff
It is clearly wrong to the religious thing in the first place. I also do not know of Pagan charities.

Just strange.

6. Pagans
My daughter and I were truely offended by this remark as we are both Pagan. Just because we don't believe in the same spiritual being doesn't mean we are nobodies or kooks. What about the differances in every religion,(Jews ,Buddists,Cath.' etc) just because they are different doesn't mean they are wrong.Who truely knows what is right and what is wrong.Besides correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Bible teach tolerance? :grouphug:
