Collectivism under any banner is dangerous, but as long as you're not an avowed Christian, your collectivism isn't so bad...heck, I'll probably even support it. I don't get it, really.

(PS: the abolitionist movement was rooted in what? MLK and many of his allies were what? Hint: not wicca or wiccans)

You might be surprised if you knew how many folks followed a pagan path but were unable to express same publicly. Dr King was a great man and a true Christian, not a demagogue spewing hatred under the guise of religion. I suspect I know far more about Christianity than you know about Wicca, otherwise you wouldn't accuse me of being against something solely because so-called Christians support it....Wiccans believe that all religions who worship a supreme being are in fact worshiping the same entity and hold no grudge against Christianity or any other religion...to each his own! Sure, we are a bit wary...centuries of persecution, torture and murder tend to make one cautious but to again quote Gandhi, "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and the world will soon be blind and toothless". The fact remains that there is an element in this culture that is attempting to use their distorted view of Christianity to establish a fascist state...just as the Taliban used a perverted form of Islam to enslave the people in Afghanistan
