I would have said the same thing myself. I can't believe that paganism and Wicca is being lumped together with Satanism. I was always under the impression that Pagans and Wiccans celebrated nature.
People get so confused so easily. It's almost a standard reaction to be afraid of things that are different. Some people pray to their God and when someone else prays to another God it's suddenly evil and unacceptable.

I think that every human practice should be executed as long as they don't hurt or damage other people's life. If they want to sell their souls to satan or make weird rituals without hurting a human being or an animal, then it's okay. But this is just crossing the line, for me, human sacrifices seems ridiculous and unnecessary, especially if they are hurting innocents.
