Maybe I Am Just In A Bad Mood

Maybe I Am Just In A Bad Mood
but this whole 'protesting' thing that is planned for tomorrow's Celebrating Earth Spirituality Event that will be held in Stoudtburg Village in Adamstown, PA has just struck a nerve with me.

I read this latest article: Some Pa. shops close doors to Pagan festival and at the very end of the article is this:

In Hertzog's Yard Sale Store, owner Terry Hertzog finished off a cup of ice cream and said he plans to close his store the next day.

"We just don't believe we can support witches and pagans," Hertzog said. "We believe in God, not in worshiping Satan or anything like that. We can't really support that, and as a result we're just going to stay closed."

"Being witches and pagans, right away that puts a red flag up," agreed his wife, Donna. "They might be wonderful people. It's just that we don't believe in that type of worship or whatever you want to call it."

SERIOUSLY, WHY DON'T PEOPLE EDUCATE THEMSELVES BEFORE MAKING SUCH STATEMENTS?
