Dear "Evil Heathen,"

Tamara Siuda has never been a student of Cat Yronwode. In fact the two have never even met.

Note : Having made an issue out of this trivial detail, the House would then try to talk out of both sides of its collective mouth on what really was at issue ...

Additionally, the statement you attribute to our Nisut (AUS) would perhaps better be stated given your current argument with the phrase "Neo-Pagan" rather than simply "Pagan," as the latter has different definitions to different people; the Roman Catholic version, i.e., "anything which is not Jewish, Christian or Muslim," would put Vodou into that category.

You are correct, however, in that our Nisut (AUS) does not consider Vodou to be a pagan religion as it is founded mostly in traditions predating the Classical invention of the word. It is also a creole (mixed) tradition rather than one religious tradition. This is Her personal opinion and we believe She is entitled to it.

Just passing along correct information before you invoke people who don't even read Usenet into your arguments.

My, aren't we impressed with ourselves! One would almost forget that the church run by "Her Holiness" had fewer people in it than some of Antistoicus' finite math sections. The anonymous writer had clearly intended to leave the reader with the impression that Antistoicus had misrepresented the position of Ms. Siuda, and that of the House, while staying vague and self-contradictory enough to be able to fool the feeble-minded when challenged. And challenged he would be.
