Pandora's Casket

People never cease to amaze me on the things that they do and say. I wonder if they think before they begin to talk and write while on the computer at all. Or do they simply blindly blabber on hiding behind the fact that it is anonymous basically while writing certain notes to people. No matter what it is sometimes people should just not be let loose alone with an internet connection and PC.

We all know I sell Occult items. Have for years now, so there is no big surprise there. Yet those of different religious faiths or ideals will make it their duty to write on eBay or my other store front and tell me how really evil or wrong I am in doing so. Most are funny, pushing aside the ones that are death threats, they are comical.

Here is the latest message conversation that I received just last night by a person that felt compelled to write to share their prejudice with me.

Question Sent: Saint Philomena is a sacred Catholic saint and it is appalling that you sell a WICCA SPELL with her name on it. May God bless you and forgive you as I assume you know NOT what you do.

My Response: Hello:
There is not a spell that is being sold, it is the oil that is used by those that are in need of help and assistance. There are many faiths, not just the Catholics that pray to Saints when in need of help.

Contrary to what you stated, I do know what I am doing and if you had read it is oil and not a Wiccan Spell as you stated. I do hope that you write all the other sellers that also sell Saint oils to people that need them

Thank you for your contact. I can only hope that God blesses you also for your narrow mindedness

Question 2 Sent: 1) YOU state in the very heading of your auction following Saint Philomena's name: WICCA SPELL 1 OUNCE

2) The Saints, ie. Saint Philomena IS A CATHOLIC SAINT. FYI: In the Catholic faith Saints bring prayer requests TO GOD through Christ. God grants blessings through the intercession of the Saints through Christ's name. Sacramental oils and the oils of the saints are blessed by priests for that reason.

3) Again, God bless you for you know NOT what you say/do.

4) God bless you and ALL who need help through Christ Our Lord. It's a shame you must make belittling remarks to me when YOU are the one using saints of the Catholic religion in a disrespectful way.

My Final Answer: There was no belittling remarks made to you. By what I am reading you present yourself in a narrow minded manner. This is my personal opinion only.

In the header, or title, those words are commonly known as key words that are used by sellers for the search engine for buyers to use while searching for what they are looking for. These key words are in the title, if one looked at the description they would have seen clearly it states it is an oil only.

There is absolutely no disrespectful actions being presented by myself with this or any of my other products. I am sad to say it is you who is disrespecting my products, myself and the countless of others that pray to the saints and follow different paths. Please keep your prejudice to yourself as any other communication will be sent to ebay as this is harassing a seller by what you are doing. Kindly save your sacramonous preaching for others such as yourself.

Thank you again for your kind words and blessings.

Updated: I received this final answer from the person this morning.

Contrar. You have insulted and harrassed me with your insulting "opinions" prejudice and misuse of my religion and religious figures; They would not be saints if not "CATHOLIC SAINTS". They are saints because they withstood abuse and were martyrs ALL for Catholicism, PERIOD. THAT is what made them saints therefore you indeed have belittled me and my religion with your disrespectful, ignorant "opinions", practices and items in both selling and communications to me. I did not insult you I stated facts. YOU ARE THE NARROW MINDED ONE AND DISRESPECTFUL ONE I notified Ebay.

WOW! Are we not getting enough fiber????

Now, I understand that there are those of you out there that have beliefs that are so strong that they take over every aspect of your thoughts and lives. I think that is wonderful for you and you alone. Is it necessary to push this on anyone else?

I realize that I could have easily ignored this person, which 8 out of 10 times I do but I get tired of the religious zealot's that feel the need to tell me that any other religion is wrong and theirs is the only one that is right. Is there really one single religion that is the only one? As long as what you believe in makes you happy then it must be the right religious path-For YOU.

Some people are ignorant, petty and have way to much time on their hands. It goes back to if you see something that offends you, do not look at it. Plain and simple. Respect others rights to believe any way they wish to. Using any and all methods they wish to. It is not your business, so keep your opinion to yourself, PLEASE!

If this person writes again will I turn them in? Yes, I will in a heart beat.
