On Occultism

[EgoDeath]

I went to a meeting out of curiosity at an occult shop once many years ago where these pagans and Wiccans would discuss magic and the tarot and stuff.  They discussed calling on city spirits and spirit guides and how they got signs and desires from them or how they did rituals using runes and crystals and incense, etc.  Very nice people even though their beliefs and practices are just as irrational as other religions which is why I found it odd that the christians in the area would protest the shop and tried to shut them down.

You weren't surprised that people who believe in one silly set of things got mad at another group of people who believed in another set of silly things. That's surprising. And silly.

But seriously... I should open up a fucking New-age spirituality shop. There's some money to be made there. That and monthly subscription boxes.

I hear what you're saying though. An examination of Ia Muslim and a Christian arguing will cause the atheist to step back and say, "Do either of you realize how dumb you sound right now?"
