In the local print version the dark photo of me behind the candles has the words "HERETIC OR HEALER?" over the top in extra large print on the front page. I seems the media likes to help the further hype I try to break, but I suppose that's their business. Hey Jason,

You are always on top of these articles which pop up about me, and you are always so gracious – thanks.

He is not the only one. The major bus stop in my city is often targeted by those who want to save our souls by yelling at you. I was witness to a heated debate with one man, who had asked them politely not to yell around a woman with a sleeping baby. <br/>After trying to scare him, using bible passages. He countered each one. Finally he was told he was going to hell. In which he proudly told the shouters that he was a pastor of a local church. <br/>Every time I see that pastor, since then, I say hi and we have talked. He knows I am a pagan, but never once has tried to convert me. And more importantly never tried to say I was evil or such. So there is hope.
