But, you say you are a practicing witch for 20 years. I find this very interesting. I know you are not republican, but I would also like to point out that the republican party (if they had their way) would saturate this nation with Christianity. If you have children, you would realize how frightening this idea is. I'm an atheist, and have to send my daughter to a public school. And even though the law doesn't allow it, the teachers (at least in this area) take it upon themselves with every opportunity to bring god into the classroom. This is my MAIN problem with the republican party. It all boils down to separation of church and state. I'm tired of the decisions a president makes having a basis in his faith. Stem-cell research, for example. Logically, it is a necessity. Many Americans could benefit greatly from the results of this research, and to ban the practice of stem-cell research is simply immoral -- unless you fall back on religion to support your decision against it. It blows my mind. [/B][/QUOTE]

Oh dont get me started on religion, I dont care what anyones religion is and I dont force mine on anyone, but it seems that Christianity feels the need to do so. More people have died in history in the name of Christianity than all of the wars combined. Yea I agree there are alot of fundamentalist Christians in the republican party, one reason I dont care for them either. THe Bush administration made a point of saying that Pagans and or Wiccans and the like is not a legit religion, who the hell are they to decide that. Here is where I see the intolerance. I also agree with you whole heartedly on stem cell research, if it would save lives....I just happen to be in a tough position with how I vote and The lesser of 2 evils doesnt work for me. If I had to choose I would vote for Bush as much as he pisses me off at times, I just cant bring myself to vote for Kerry, I just dont believe that he believes in anything except how to get elected. I really like Howard Dean, even though I didnt agree with everything he said especially the war on terror, but the media made him out to be a nutjob and the democrats abandoned him. Shame, I think its 3rd party voting for me again which gets me nowhere.
