Mrs. B. Gets..... Religiously Persecuted

 

This is going to be a long one, folks!  

Yesterday,  I was going about my business after a nice day with friends to find a message about my participation in The Circle of Moms contest for the Top 25 Faith Blogs by Moms.  It was a contest that someone else nominated my blog for, and I only found out about a few days ago.  I was extremely touched that someone had thought to nominate my blog (I'm still not completely sure who did it!) and within a a couple of days, I'd reached the top 10.  Along with my own blog, there were several other Pagan bloggers in the contest as well, I was happy to see.

The message I received yesterday informed me that a few of the other bloggers in the contest seemed to have some serious issues with there being Pagans and "self-professed witches" in the contest at all - much less that some were doing well in it!   The shock!  The horror!  The satan worshippers - that's not "faith"!!!!1

Oh silly, dontcha know that them Christians are the only ones who have faith? Why else do you suppose they refer to ALL Non-Christians...Jews and other religions included...as "Non Believers" when posting on interfaith spirituality boards and elists?

I'm always tempted to comment at people who say things like "we must pray for their children!!!" with "I'll pray for your children, too, and in 20 years we'll see whose gods are paying more attention."

The blog moved to number one today, by hundreds. It was second, by hundreds when I first started posting this on FB.

Ha! I saw the FB post on it by Thorn. I had already been to Circle of Moms to quietly vote before that. After Thorn's post I reposted this one and tagged a bunch of my Pagan friends. P/W host blogged on it, The Wild Hunt picked it up. A friend posted it on one of the busiest Delphi forums and a semi-busy Pagan one.

I am so very amused it is in the lead. SO very amused.

True enough. Xian is one of the synonyms for faith, right?

Why do you suppose being so stringently preyed upon prayed for makes me feel sleepy?

Oh, I know, boredom induces fantasy dreamlands!!

Didn't you get the memo? F.A.I.T.H. stands for Full Assurance In Trusting Him; it's not one of those icky terms that can apply to any religion.

Hahahaha. Excellent.

It's ahead by 500 votes right now.

Been there, done that. It's pretty satisfying, to be honest.
