Fox News

I'm offended just like everyone else here, even if I'm not technically wiccan, but this could actually be an opportunity for us. Think about it, Wicca has always been looked down upon by civilized society for being superstitious and weird and hasn't often been granted the same rights as other religions, perhaps this could be our chance to take a stand. Many more people like to hate on Fox News than watch it, so we have a potential audience.

Someone, preferably a figure (the more "normal" the better) with a reasonable amount of authority such as a business executive, could push for their appearance on a major news program to explain what Wicca is really about and defend it. Hell, this forum could be cited as an example. Yes we have Fluffies who think they've found Hogwarts, but we also have a very diverse community from all different faiths and cultures that practice magic. I myself am pursuing a degree in physics and I practice magic; even science (not necessarily the mainstream paradigm, I admit) is compatible with magic.

We finally have the chance to let the world know about us and who we really are. Let's take it. Instead of complaining about how Fox is wrong, let's prove them wrong for the whole world to see. Let's take finally take a peaceful stand against the ignorant and bigoted that have repressed people like us for centuries and show everyone else the truths that we've kept hidden out of fear for our own safety. Let us finally work to create a world where Wicca is not feared or decried, but accepted and respected. A world where magic is not quite as scary or strange as it seems today. Don't we all want that?

See nothing wrong with it, other than the fact that the holidays they were comparing with were captured by the Christians and turned into their own celebrations.

This is just TV. That's what they're like. In truth not much happens in the world. How do you fill in the gaps?

Let's make news!

This really made me mad. You can even tellthey don't know what they are talking about by the way they talk. Plus I never heard of Wiccanism. Never a less I've heard Wicca ever had the name changed. Plus Dungoens and Dragons is a game that is not a religious thing. Plus we don't have more divorces, in my opinion. I'm not going against someone else's belief and sorry if I do, but I think more christains do because they are in a strict bound religion that doesn't support the use of witchcraft and homosexuality. Plus we don't have to celebrate the holidays or we can do it in the most simplest forms. Like for me on Yule, I didn't do much. I just went into meditation and thanked the sun for all it's warmth, light, and what we need to survive. Plus we do make up a large percent of the population and you must remember how many people, especially kids, hide what they do since people aren't supportive and give stereotypes like they did. How is witchcraft even bad when it's meant to help us?! It might state that in the bible, but remember how many times to bible was rewritten to support Roman's laws and religion. 20% are wiccan holidays? Didn't know we had more then 8. They may include other hoildays, but not all pagans and wiccanscelebrate them.We can say Merry Christmas. Christmas is a holiday about giving, but it also a holiday about Jesus' birth. However, a lot of people don't have to believe in that do to the fact no one truely knows when Jesus was born. That is just an estimate. You can't take Halloween seriousily? Shamin/ All Hallow's Eve has been around longer then trick and treating. Almost all wiccans can name hoildays too!

That's just offensive

it seems as if they are dissing us mainly because we're not a famous religion and we practice magic.

plus the thing about 20 holidays made me burst into laughter. there are only eight

They made tiptoechick from YouTube angry look it up.
I barely heard it and boy they made me angry

my god people these days don't know what there saying they said its not an actual religion and that it is being used for political stuff we should be angry about that no were more angry u said it isn't a religion they dont know what they r saying

Fox News has already screened an apology for the statements made in that program.
