Talking Down to Other Religions

It's common with anything. No matter what happens, someone always talks down to another religion.

Now then, I've known a few people who claim to be a witch, and when they meet somebody that is Christian or Catholic, even Atheist, they start to talk bad about their religion.

Why?

Because it's human nature to feel as if the choices you've made are the right one's. And if the people around you have chosen differently, then you want to talk bad about them. (Not everyone, but many people do this.)

It's not fun listening to other people talk bad about what you believe in. So why do many people do it, knowing they don't like it either?

It's just how people are. So what should you do when this happens?

-Don't argue with them.
-Don't try to fight about why they are wrong and you are right.
-Just listen to them, say ok, and excuse yourself.

It's much easier than arguing with them over a personal opinion. Nobody can help the way the feel about a certain topic. It's not their fault for not liking something, or not feeling the same way about something that you do.

Silver Ravenwolf

*sigh* I hate to bring this topic up, but I guess it had to be done.
Ok, Silver Ravenwolf is controversial due to how she presents Wicca to the young teenagers that read her. In one book, she tells kids to lie to their parents about what it is and say all they are doing is studying angels. The problem with this is that they are lying. They should not lie to them.

Many people disapprove of the way Ravenwolf presents Wicca. It is often referred to as being "fluffy". Basically meaning she dumbs it down and also presents the good part.

Some people like her, many being teenagers. Some elder people also like the way she will present the information.

Silver Ravenwolf presents her information in a way that is easily understood to many people. She uses smaller terms to present this. She has written many books:

Many of her books are aimed for teenagers. This is another reason why she is controversial. Many people do not appreciate her aiming her books for teenagers, especially young ones, because many people do not believe that young Pagans are good. Often times, they are in it for rebellion. I have not read many of her books, but I do know that she does not like Christianity at all and will put it down. 

You can find her books on Amazon. She also has many items for sell. 

Now then, I personally do not approve of the way she chooses to approach Wicca and Paganism. I think that she is mainly gearing it for curious teenagers because she knows that she will make the money from that. One thing that I did not approve of that Ravenwolf will do is in her book "Teen Witch", she says that she has lost many job opportunities because she will tell the manager straight up that she is Pagan. I do not feel the need for this to be said. Unless she is taking a job at a church or something like that. But just going to the local Wal-Mart for a job interview and walking in and saying "Hi, I'm Silver and I'm Pagan" is not the way I would do anything. 

Hope this helps anyone!
