Thank you for making that contrast clear. I followed the link to Nahum and read it. Particularly in
chapter 3 I noticed a reference to
Wiccan, the false religion often announced by the easily offended, by eco-warriors and vegans, new age psychologists, magnetic immortality ring proponents and on and on. They say beliefs ate "Personal" or "Private" but I doubt they know what that means the way they keep reminding you.
Someone suggested to me I should get my tongue pierced for example, telling me it has nothing to do with what it looks like. "Nobody would even know!" So I asked, "Why did you have it done?"
"Oh, because it looks so cool.." and I don't know if you've noticed but anyone with a pierced tongue seems to talk in a special way so you can't really miss it. These are often Wiccans, almost invariably crackpots of one sort or another and actively engaged in witchcraft.
To make a comment at all, to explain God's opinion of witchcraft or self mutilation, is to trigger a bleating episode you're best advised to simply walk away from. But when they're the ones denouncing Christians no offence is allowed to be taken. Is that what's called a double standard?
