FWIW, since I've been deemed a fundamentalist, I guess I should be able to tell you if your view is correct. And no, it is not. Satanism is use to refer to only what it sounds like worship of Satan/Lucifer/Devil/whatever other names you wish to use. This is what they say they are doing, and so it is a fair name. Paganism in modern times is generally used to refer to worship of earth and earthen idols, and to a lessor extent Satanists. Probably the most common thing it references is Wiccan, and I believe the Wiccans I know and work with would not consider it a bad thing to be called pagan (I could be wrong on this, I use proper names for religions so it doesn't matter in my case). I promise this will be my last post at all to this list. However, if anyone is interested in a discussion (read: a discussion, not an argument), I'd be happy to discuss it with you further. -Tim -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
