I don't want to start a big religious debate here or anything, I just like to keep an open mind about a lot of things. I've done a lot of research into a lot of different religions. There are a lot of things that give many religions a bad reputation, like Wicca is portrayed through tv and movies as evil witches who worship the devil, and how the Muslim religion has been attacked like crazy since the "war on terror" has begun.
I should probably keep my mouth shut but I really just wanted to speak up on this matter. I don't want anyone to get angry at me for it, but I just wanted to remind everyone to keep an open mind about things
And Dobie, I'm not saying that you should go. If it really makes you uncomfortable, you really don't have to! I think it would be a great idea to go to the baptism and then stop in again later.

Very interesting Lindsey, i didn't know that about Wicca, i wish every religion teaches that men and women are equal, heck we have to work in todays world so we bring home the bread also, we should be equal... right?? and Lindsey were all grown woman here and you should speck whats on your mind. i just learned something today that i didn't know, that's why i read these treads!!!
