A note on Christmas displays:

The town that I work in has put up a manger scene in the "lawn" at town hall. It was approved by the mayor prior to the display. Being a "fundamentalist Christian" (see my previous post), I was pleasantly surprised to see such a display. Of course, there is a small outrage from the non-Christians that such a religious display was allowed on public property. Now, the Wiccans are asking to be allowed to put their own display in the town park. Contrary to what those of you who read my blog may believe, I am not against this.

I believe that we should pray for the Wiccans, but I don't believe that by disrespecting them we will turn them toward Christianity. I have a son who is Wiccan, and studying anything Wicca he can get his hands on. I have helped him with this by recommending books and looking at the things he brings home. The only time I really jumped on his case was when I forced him to go to Church with me on a Sunday evening, and he was playing with his Tarot cards!!! I thought that totally disrespected the Church. To me, it was much the same as going to Grandma's and playing rap music as loud as the stereo would allow. (Grandma thinks rap is the worst music ever, and that it should be banned.)

My two cents....
