Why does this modernized world think that us wiccans are of an evil breed of man? Please help me understand why?!

I don't think everyone thinks that. Here's an example. When Christianity was coming about, the romans thought it was hearisy(SP) to their gods. Even though the Christians were doing nothing to anyone. When people do not understand something it is just gut reaction to fear it. Just cause or not.

That is very true Bardass!!! A good example is the pesicusion and killing of "witches" in Salem and England in the 16th century!
Most of the folks "punished" were god fearing christians that either were ecentric or had angered some folks in the community! Those that practiced the "arts" did so in private, and most never were found out!
We are not an evil people, we are loving to all creation. We believe that what ever we do has an effect on the world and our lives, if we do evil it is returned to us 3 fold, we do good it is the same. So why should we wish harm on ourselves, we strive for good...

One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.

It's like everything else in this world one group of people trying to dictate to another how they should live their lives. OK enugh said as if I continue it would get political and set me off on a rampage LOL

Interesting fact about the whole Salem thing. It has come to scientific conclusion that the mass hysteria in Salem, Mass was brought about by a fungus that grew on the wheat that was then used as food ie breads and so on. This particular fungi when consumed causes an LSD effect. The scientist have smaples of grain from the 2 sides of salem. One side was effected with the Fungi, the other not. If memory serves me correctly. I will try and find the report on this and post it else where. I thought you would find it interesting shadows!
yeah it's like I have one tax lover who is trying hard to ignore this high res scan I gave him of a corporation in Nevada. That Corporation is entitled the
Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service.
I asked him if the IRS is truely a legal agency they why does this corporation exist because if the IRS truely exists then this corporation is in violation of federal law yet almost 10 years later this corp is still in business. If you're interested here's the document
