No need to apologise. You seem to feel persecuted. Do you think I'm
attacking you? I wouldn't say alt.magick, the group I'm posting from,
is a Christian newsgroup.
Can you point out where you think I've condemned or judged you? The
reason I asked what you do is to find out a little bit more about you.
I'm a magician, so I use and study magick. One reason I take part in
alt.magick is both to share and to be challenged. I think there both
im****tant parts of learning. Don't you?
