Would you go to church just to prove it won't change anything about you?

Threats of violence? Welcome to my world of Wicca.

What would you prove? That you can walk into a church? That you can put yourself at the mercy amongst their cohorts if they threatened you with violence? That there would be no conversion experience if you did not wish one? Unless you have something to prove to yourself there doesn't seem to be much reason for that.

I live too close to a church, right across the street from my house. Even in a village of 142 people I get threats (because my car with its pro-Wicca bumper stickers [such as 'Goddess Bless America' and 'Freedom of religion means all religions and no religion'] is always parked right across the street from it). I don't need to go into a church to see what would happen to me.

(I don't think they are mad about the Mensa one - I don't think they know what Mensa is.)

To which witch did you respond?
There were witches at the baptism? Kewl. Definitely an open-minded baptism. Big Grin
