Christine O'Donnell that loopy, unqualified Tea Bagger wannabe politician has come out with an ad that says, "I'm not a Witch, I'm like you." There have been some great responses from the Witch community, and here are three of them:
It's horrible that fear and hatred and ignorance are such loud voices in our country. I hope that more rational thought and more compassionate acts will have the last word.
I'm not an American, but I want to say that I like what the witches have said. And I agree with the separation of church and state---it'll ensure that all religions, as well as those who do not like its existence, remain respected.
... I don't know if you had seen this one ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wktlwCPDd94 ... but it's not so much a protection of any given faith ... as much as it is a plea to all religions to respect each other and to have compassion and empathy for one another ...
I'm glad you liked it ... I saw it for the first time several weeks ago, myself, and finally wrote a blog about it myself ... and I'm sure I'm far from the only Christian that follows your blog ... but I love reading and learning about the things you choose to write about ... thank you for your words :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for that link, Erica. The vid is perfect for a post coming up on religion and spirituality, so I added it to that post. Excellent!
