It's facile to use a psychotic minority to tar the rest of a religion in any case. I was just pointing out that this kind of reductive approach seems to be perfectly acceptable when it's aimed at montheistic desert religions that loathe women and the flesh other than christianity. Given some of the comments a few people on here are in the habit of making about jews, I find it a bit rum that people are pissing and moaning about dismissing christianity in those terms, while they're perfectly happy to have jews described as zionist conspirators who use elected governments as their sock puppets and are lying about the holocaust ever happening, or state that all muslims, without exception, support the jihadists because none of them have gone on record as saying owt against al queda. If it's acceptable to talk about jews and muslims that way, then I really don't see why christians should expect to be treated any more fairly by people who don't share their beliefs. (And just for the record, I've yet to meet a wiccan who wasn't so bloody wet that they'd slit their own throat rather than murder somebody else even if they were faced with the sort of provocation that Michael Winner laid on Charles Bronson's character in Death Wish. Wiccans are a bit too liberal and a lot too feminist for that, in my experience, though it's nice that people who are into femdom have their own religion as well as the closet cases who are into Crowley.)
