================================================ Subject: Re: What other bands do you enjoy - Brian from Omaha From: "Kristin" To: Date: Fri 22 Mar 2002 17:40:33 -0600 ================================================ Nora, I'm not a Satanist, OR Wiccan.. but I just felt the need to point out again (as I pointed out a couple years ago to someone else on this list regarding the very same thing).. Sully of Godsmack is not a Satanist, but he IS Wiccan. Here's a page with frequently asked questions about Wicca that may answer some of your questions. http://www.wicca.org/WiccaFAQ.html Here are a few excerpts.. Q: Do Witches worship Satan, the Devil, etc., or participate in Satanic rituals? A: No. Satan, or "the Devil," is a concept not to be found outside of Judeo-Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism. A person must be working through the paradigm of a Holy Bible in order to believe in Satan. He is not a part of Native American religions, Shinto, Buddhism, Animism or (of course) Wicca. Q: Isn't the pentagram (the five-pointed star enclosed in a circle) a symbol of the Devil? A: The pentagram in its correct state (one point up, standing on two points) represents the perfected human. The upside-down pentagram means the opposite. In Wicca, the five points represent our basic beliefs. Q: What are your five Basic Beliefs? Are they like the Ten Commandments? A: Sort of, except we only have one "commandment," the Wiccan Rede. It states, "If it harm none, do what you will." The other four beliefs in our religion are: (2) The Law of Attraction, (3) Harmony and Serenity, (4) Power through Knowledge, and (5) Progressive Reincarnation. And finally, if any of you disagree with what I've written here, please don't visit the site.. it's that simple.. I'm just simply trying to get the story straight. I love Godsmack and their music very much. They put on a great show too.. love them! I'm in no way condoning anything.. just trying to get the story straight.
