Quote From: morighanAs a practicing pagan....i can wholeheartly say yes we exist. I am not a Wiccan, there is a differnce which I choose not to get into at this time. However I can say for one person to say we do not exist is completely wrong........whomever that person is. I do not critize any other religion....nor do I need saved. I respect which ever path it is that you choose to follow, all I as of others is to respect the fact that I chose a path that fits me the best. Spiritualism, Paganism, Wicca, and those types of religions are the fastest growing religions in the entire world. Please.....before you start dismissing an entire section of the worlds population out of hand just because you WISH we didn't exist, do some research and homework first. As you know, you have to give an email address to registar here.......I there by challenge any of Dr Phil's staff or Dr Phil himself to explain to my why I don't exist.

As a fellow Pagan that is open about his beliefs I comend your challenge to the staff. I understand that the Pagan population is growing but we still are not even 1/2 of a percent of the total population of the United States. In our area we hold Pagan Pride Day each fall to help educate the christian population in our area that we are here and that many of the ideas they have about us are misconceptions. The only way we can stop religious predjudices is to educate others, NOT convert them, we don't attempt that. But we do let them know about our basic beliefs. The last event had about 50 Pagans attend. We paraded thru one of Eastern Washingtons major metro area's downtown. It has realy raised the awareness of us in the comunity, we have even said blessings at city counsel meetings. Our beliefs are recognized by the Federal Government as a religion, but it is sad that our christian brothers and sisters will not recognize us as a Religion as well. We are all on this planet together, we should at least attempt to get along.
Blessed Be
