[QUOTE="nvts, post: 109451, member: 3814"] Hi Susie! I wouldn't worry about it too much. BUT: the mockery of your religion should not be tolerated. It is synonymous with any type of stereotyping and hatred that goes along. This is in no way meant to discredit the Wiccan practices. There are many people out there who live within the beliefs, practices and ideals that make for a beautiful life. THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF STOPPING THE SON FROM MOCKING OTHERS RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS: Put on a halloween witches hat the next time he mocks your faith. When he reacts, make sure that you spell out that the way he feels at that very second is the way he makes you feel when he's discourteous about your religion. The point is not to mock his beliefs, it's to let him know that although you don't necessarily agree, it's not right to taunt others in lifes choices. You need to also make it clear that he'll never keep a job or maintain relationships if it comes down to "my way or the highway" enforcement of his beliefs. I wouldn't get him anything for Christmas either. It's about the fact that this holiday is faith based. If you don't have the faith then he shouldn't reep the benefits (gifts) without the beliefs. Just an idea! Beth [/QUOTE]
