[edit] Paganism article

Hello Marilyn, I hope you don't mind but I reverted your edits to this article (referring to Satanism and drawing the distinction between this and Paganism.) I did so for two reasons. First, there are at this time no mentions of Satanism in the Paganism article, and I feel that introducing the term (even to specify that it is NOT the same as Paganism) is to introduce a distraction. Why deny something that has not been asserted? Second, you made a strong claim - which I agree with - but there were no citations to verifiable sources backing this up.

There is an article on Wicca and this section asserts the distinction with Satanism, as well as giving a reference. Maybe this would suffice for you? Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 17:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
