I would not call Wiccan a fringe religion. In their eyes it is no more different than Christianity and Judaism or Maoist, Buddhist and Hindu.
I see nothing wrong with a religion that teaches "Do as you will but harm none" or that we must get closer to Earth and thank the mother for her generosity that gives us life.
The problem lies with attitudes that "fringe religions" are to be discounted. I have many many friends that are Wiccan and NOT 1 changes their beliefs nor challenges other religions and belief systems. So what gives Christianity and Christians the right to challenge or call "fringe religion" or brush it off as a cultistic element that doesn't deserve recognition?
Raveneye, I believe it is 2 judges that allowed this. The original judge who heard the divorce and set the visitation rights and the judge today a year later whoi upheld the ruling and refused to take it out.
Either way, this is proof the religious right are taking things way way too far.
I wonder where the cries from those conservatives, who demand we get back to the true meaning of the Constitution, are. The Indy Star is a relatively conservative paper in a very conservative city and state and yet not 1 republican was quoted. Did no republican have anything to say against this ruling or are they favoring it by staying silent?
