I too am rolling on the floor.  That 'letter' could not be more closed
minded and stereotypical Christian (no offense to anyone who might take
offense at it--I'm NOT saying that all Christians as closed-minded, etc)
The first thing that really got me as being backwards and 'Dark Ages' was
actually implying that practicing witchcraft equates to Satanism.  I know
this can take a MAJOR religious turn and I don't want to but do need to make
a point in defense of us pagans out there  =).  Paganism/witchcraft (though
not all  pagans are witches or practice magick) do not believe in Satan or
hell.  We know that there is good and bad in nature and most of us believe
in reincarnation--so there is not heaven or hell, hence no Satan (though
there are god and goddesses that enjoy mischief)  How also can the write of
the letter justify it being satanic yet at the same time there are Christmas
and Easter breaks/holidays?  Pagans don't celebrate these Christian
holidays.  =)  Also, where are those figures being pulled from?!  20 million
members of Satanic cults?!  Wow!  Pagans, probably, but I doubt Satanists.

Anyway, just wanted to stand on the soapbox for a while and basically
continue venting at how stupid some people are!  =)

P.S.  The Onion ROCKS!  *grin*'
