You were helpful. And then, you got a big head.![]()
Quote:That;s nice, but I wasn;t commenting on any belief of yours..unless you;re shia or sufi. You;ve cultivated an irreligious but spiritual identity. I;d say you were on the right track with that. I think exposure to neopaganism will probably help even more. Thats why I keep suggesting the religion over the spells and ritual.
I;m not going to infantalize you by couching my words or calling things I know opinion just because you have a predictable reaction to those bits. I told you that magic spells werent real..for example..because they aren;t. You'll learn that yourself sooner or later, but I see no reason to hide that fact of the matter from you. Would you prefer that I treated you like a child, and reassured your beliefs in santa or the easter bunny?
I just wish to have a mutually respectful dialogue, that's all. This isn't a debate. MK is debating, lol But, I'm not debating.
I'll just stick my unwarranted nose in here to make an observation:
It's a general shorthand to state that certain things are untrue or not real, to mean that there is no evidence for something or no good reason to think that way. It can be tedious to couch every statement in caveats and disclaimers.
I'm not presuming to speak for anyone here, of course.
