ON C/P INTERFAITH BUNNIES – ARE THEY STARTING TO SMELL THE COFFEE?
Well folks – the Christo/Pagan interfaith bunnies down at ‘Pagan and
Christian Moot’ site appear to be rather miserable that they have broken
links with the missionaries at Ex-witch. They talk of “support” for Ex-witch.
Can you believe this admission? Support for an outreach that is totally
‘committed’ to winning over Pagans with tried and tested evangelical techniques.
The first sentence in the quote below displays the sort of dangerous gullibility
that many ‘trusting’ Pagans unfortunately exhibit. They truly believe that they
can mediate with an intolerant fundamentalist missionary system for equal shares
in acceptance and understanding. Yes it’s true– they are genuinely that naive!
Nevertheless, the recent realisation that all is NOT quite as they had ‘thought’
with their previous congenial dealings with Ex-witch ministry may be a sign that
hard reality is starting to actually dawn on 'some' of them.

Withdrawal of support for ExWitch
ministries
“The core concept of Pagan and Christian Moot is education that helps to develop
greater knowledge and understanding of those of other faiths. It is possible
that the current situation at
ExWitch ministries is entirely
unintended. Indeed, we hope that is the case. However, with the current apparent
approach to the presentation of information about Paganism and the occult it is
felt that education, knowledge and understanding has been seriously undermined
at ExWitch.
It is to be hoped that the apparent problems at
ExWitch
ministries will be addressed and that our withdrawal of support is only a
temporary situation. We would welcome communication from
ExWitch
staff who would be interested in working with us to address these issues in a
constructive way.

‘Mike’ (the guy who apparently runs Pagan and Christian Moot) may have to wait
until the cows come home before he gets the assistance he craves from the
fundies at Ex-witch if this quote below from their website (before they rehashed
it) is anything to go by. Ex-witch apparently has NO plans to share any type of
spiritual monopoly with a bunch of confused occultists.
PAN has been telling the Pagan community this fact of life for years – what a
pity that it has taken some people so long to learn the hard way! Hardcore
Xtianity believes that it is the ONLY true faith and that ALL others are bogus.
This is what their bible teaches them so why in all fairness would any ‘genuine’
Pagan want to suck up to any missionary outreach. Pagans do NOT require
permission OR ANY SORT OF BLESSING from the Church to practice their beliefs!

“That said, we do NOT accept Wicca (or any pagan/occult tradition) as an
"alternative religion". We do NOT believe that the practice of magick is “ok,”
or that it’s acceptable to believe whatever feels good to you. What is true is
TRUE. Truth does not change, and is not subject to perspective or emotion. The
problem with “interfaith” work is that it ignores the hard truths about what
Jesus wants for us, and makes Him into something He’s not. “

Not much ‘joy’ there then hey for Mike’s Christo/Pagan interfaith crew is there!
Interfaith between Pagans and ‘tolerant’ faiths is utterly fine yet with
an absolutist theocracy that has spent almost 2000 years vilifying and
conquering others minor beliefs – NO!
It would be funny if it wasn't so very sad!
Sorry folks but again PAN has to say...........
We told yer so!
Disclaimer:
PAN realises that the vast majority of Christians are 'not' fundamentalist or
evangelical in make up and we only criticise religious extremists who seek to
disenfranchise other faiths whilst bolstering their own. PAN does not in any way
condone violence against any persons or property and we must state that we have
always worked towards a more tolerant and equal society.
