Or Christine O'Donnell is lying.

Many conservative Christians like to say they are former witches, but they get so many major facts wrong, I'm thinking they were "shock dabblers" - dabbling into the ignorant fringes of rumor, innuendo, and jumbled scraps of information picked up from people who wanted to come over all mysterious and self-important OR they are lying about having been or dabbled in witchcraft and are getting their information from other Christians who claim to have dabbled in witchcraft - much of it available in those infamous Chick Tracts.

Considering the information Ms. O'Donnell has mentioned concerning her "witchcraft days" in high school, I'm almost certain she didn't hang out with real witches, Wiccans, or anyone of that sort, and possibly not even real Satanists. I simply wonder where she got her information and if this wasn't something she said just to gain attention in her high school days.

There's nothing wrong with rebelling by claiming to be something you're not, never have been, and never will be. It is kind of wrong for other people to exaggerate this incident, and to repeat the false information to the detriment of another religion, splashing it all over the news as if Ms. O'Donnell were giving facts on a religion about which she apparently knows very little.

No true Satanist would take a casual date on a picnic, midnight or otherwise, on their altar.

She was either misled by the people she hung out with in high school or she's lying.

People who usually protest "I'm not making this up" usually are.
