I think that this part of Indiana I live in should have a notch in the bible belt.
I have never been one to write or discuss politics, religion or lifestyle choices with the general public but something happend yesterday that rubbed Me the wrong way.

I had just finished taking My daughter to her karate class and decided to jump across the street to the grocery store to get a few things for dinner and the rest of the week. As we were finishing our shopping we exit the store to a picket line. A picket line with signs that say:

You are going to hell if you don't believe
God is great... you aren't
Believe or get out

Just to name a small few. My daughter who is six was of course frightened as the pushed her body around and handed her millions of little booklets asking her if she had been saved, if she goes to church.. blah blah blah

We finally got through the line and I made her sit in the car. I sat in the front just wondering what the next move I would make should be and just decided to let it go. I did of course complain to the manager of the store and he insisted that he had already called the police to get them removed.

Now.... with all of this.... I have never been one that shoves My lifestyle choices in someone else's face, why should they? I believe in the right to free speech and believe that is one great thing about America. Yet I do not believe that, that free speech should be shoved down someone elses throat in any way shape or form.

I could have stood outside the store and held picket signs.

"All men should be submissive"
"I believe in FLR"
"I believe that women are superior to men"
"I am a witch"
"I am wiccan"

Yet I do not believe that others should have to believe or live My lifestyle. I have never shoved it in anyways face. If they want to know, to learn, it is My choice to teach them.

With that said it is not that I believe in Satan (For there is no devil in the craft). It is not that I do not believe in God. For I do, many Gods and many Goddess's. I am spirtual in My own way and so is My family. I let My daughter do her own choices... I was raised catholic, went to a southern baptist church and finally found My calling in the spirtual world as a wiccan. My daughter has adapted some of those tendencies but we also pray everynight to the Gods and Goddess's. She makes her way.. I do not push her and she simply does what feels right.

I just had to vent... as I said I am normally not one to just talk about the relgious ways of the world... but it really pissed Me off.

Chalk it up to PMS or just acceptance of others but it rubbed Me wrong.

Blessed be Kiddles,
Goddess Moon
