If it can make this much of impression on you, imagine the sort of impression it made on reasonable people.

The point is that most reasonable people are left with the impression that it was ineffective and disrespectful at best and discriminatory and selfish at worst.

I'm happy to prolong that kind of exposure.

Believe as you wish, most news coverage to the contrary.

The detractors help make our point, so please continue to prolong... whatever it is you are prolonging. Thanks!

How selfish.
Other bullied kids are free to have their own protests if they desire. Nothing is stopping them.

I was bullied as kid quite a bit for being Jewish, and I never felt the need to protest, but then again, it was always just words, and nobody tried to beat me up or kill me.

Jewish? I thought you were a wiccanite?

If you had read this thread, you would have seen the news organizations I quoted. And those were just the first five hits.

Refer to post #19.

Then be sure to reply and keep this thread going.
Thank you for your continued support.

Is it my understanding that although you are Jewish, you can practice any religion as you wish? Have you ever had a Bar Mitvah? And did you subscribe to Wiccanism as you saw fit.

I ask that because I wonder if Gary is confused as maybe he thinks there is no such as thing as a "Jewish Wiccan."

I was also a Jewish Wiccan for decades before I got myself Christianated several years ago.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

Oh, so a Jewish person does not need to follow the Torah, then? Perhaps you should have stayed a Wiccan. You could have put a spell on those you don't like. LOL
