  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I work at target and they are selling books about Witchcraft (it literally had the title Witch in it) and about Tarot.

This makes me very uncomfortable.

Any advice? I know all I can do is pray.

I need this job since it's my only source of income ATM.

Thank you

That is an extremely remote occasion of sin. No matter where you go these days, you are going to encounter inappropriate and evil content. I work for a crisis line, and I talk to and communicate with pagan clients once in a while. I know they are doing things that are hurting their own spiritual soul, but all I can do is surrender it to God. That's all we can do in some cases. No matter where you go, you will encounter evil of some kind. Walmart, Target, Barnes and Nobles, Amazon, it doesn't matter - it permeates every level. But for every tarot deck, for every book on witchcraft, there's a Bible, a book about the saints, a book about Mary. We will win. Their "victory" is an illusion. You are not sinning. Do you struggle with scrupulosity too?

Yes, I've struggled with scrupulosity for many years now.

I was hoping maybe I could DM you. I always could use other people fighting the good fight :). It's not easy going about it alone.
Yes! Feel free to and thank you :)
