How come everyone has a problem with realizing the two are different? This thread is for asking questions and actually learning, before you run around saying we are 'evil' or 'worship satan' or just about anything else. Anyone else hate that? :/

I do realize there's a distinction, though my knowledge of Wicca/Paganism is spare. Thank you for reminding me that I have research to do.

So they integrated some Paganism elements into their religion (*coughChristmascough*) and then demonized the rest of it to be "unnatural", where many things that were considered unnatural were associated with the Devil. And there are still a million people that believe those principals in this modern age because they can't think for themselves and dwell too much on people's private lives (I think religion is part of your private life. Mostly because everyone gets to offended when you talk about it). So, there you go. And I know that most Pagans don't even believe the Devil exists. Cruel irony right there.

[quote]Yeah, but from all the religions I personally encountered none had a more "holier than thou" attitude than Christians.[/quote] Yeah. To me, that attitude is lousy. So there is a high percentage, to me, of lousy Christians. That makes any other percentage automatically lower.

[quote]Just for the record, the percentage of "evil" Satanists is lower than the percentage of lousy Christians.[/quote] I'd definitly believe that. I have just ran into my fair share.

Aww, the mods did not like "awabi fisher and octopus" by Hokusai, so they deleted this post before. You have something against classical Japanese art here? :< Anyway, I found an even more awesome picture to replace it!

[quote]Isn't the Wiccan star (or whatever it is) a pentagram?[/quote] Seeing as pentagram simply means five-pointed-star... YEAH, SO?

[quote]Seeing as pentagram simply means five-pointed-star... YEAH, SO?[/quote] I dunno, just getting my facts straight. Someone told me it's four pointed, someone said it's eight pointed, and I always thought it was five pointed.

Wicca isn't even identified as a word in Firefox's dictionary.

Right click ->Add will fix that. But that's not a terribly strong argument... it doesn't know "okay" either. Does that mean "okay" is retarded?
