To which Sigvald replied:<br><br>> OK, you asked for it! I'll be open and tell you exactly what I <br>> know about the Wiccas. Fact is that once I saw a Norwegian TV <br>> program where a Norwegian Wicca-lady openly told about how at <br>> least some wiccas practice nudism and sexual orgies out in the <br>> forrests somewhere, to me that sounds more like a cult

First, ONE television program doesn't qualify you (nor would a hundred) if
this<br>
is your reference point for such qualification. On the other hand, to use
your <br>
standard, then Christianity also "sounds more like a cult than a religion"
since<br>
I've seen TV programs where people don't just "say" some Christians practice<br>
nudism and sexual orgies, but actually take cameras to the places where such
<br>
practices occur and "document" it, they also have documented the practices
of<br>
how some Christians prove their faith by handling poisonous snakes in a ritual<br>
where many often get bit and have serious life-long medical problems... and
then<br>
there are others..... well, I think you get my point. If we judge ALL Christians
by<br>
the practices of some or, worse yet, the statements of a few, then surely
Christianity<br>
should be listed as a "cult" too.. Yes?<br>
