Yup, I get you, plus I run a non-profit organization, so I try and support my non-profit as much as I can.

That's basically how I run my hobbies - non-profit. I try to not get a profit from them - heck, I mean, that's what jobs are for: Jobs are for profit. Your hobbies are for fun - recreation, if you will.

Thank you for the welcome SkyFire, to most people Wicca is a religion because of it having an official doctrine.

Ah, so it depends on country, oh okay. I have noticed that it can also depend on the region of the country that you are in. For example, in Massachusetts Wicca is accepted because of Salem (the Salem Witch Trials). At least, that's what I think, anyway. There are a lot of Wiccans/Witches in Salem - about 80% or something like that, I think. I went on a tour and heard that statistic. I'm just not sure if I'm remembering it correctly, but it's something like that, I think. - For some reason, 80% is what keeps popping into my head.

Oh! Sorry about that, I misunderstood. You're right that there is a lot of fear and misunderstanding in life. I have been 'following' the Pagan Path for a while and I absolutely love it. I mean, I don't 'adhere' to one specific religion, but I bring in different parts of different religions to my own. I guess that means I'm Eclectic.
I know you weren't talking about my religion per se, but I know that it can most definitely be misunderstood. I cannot tell you how many times I get told that Wicca/Paganism is evil because they use the Pentagram/Pentacle. It's upright, not inverted. The inverted Pentagram is what Satanists use, not Pagans.

As far as the whole Satanist thing, it's garbage, just want your money. I read the satanic bible and there is no knowledge above simple human understanding. they are pretty much atheists.

I feel that that's the best thing for me because it validates me, if that makes any sense. Why should I put my heart and soul into something man-made to where I haven't had any experience or what have you. I think a lot of religions just want your money. I've never read their bible, though, so I can't say.

I can understand that to a degree. LaVeyn Satanism, is worship of the self ego and doubt. I'm just not on board with that. If I was I'd be very depressed.
