RE: What do you think of Wicca?
June 17, 2018 at 10:29 am
I've lost touch with them now, but many years ago I was good friends with a couple who were wiccan. I thought the respecting nature and respecting each other aspects of it were good. But they also pretty firmly believed in the supernatural which is where they lost me on it.
They were both genuinely into it full time. And they genuinely tried to encourage all their friends including me to join. The problem is, they would generally do that by saying 'oh just come with us to <insert gathering/event> for the weekend, you'll love it. I never went to one of their campout/gathering/event things but several of our mutual friends did and did start to identify as wiccan afterward. But the reality is sort of like Christmas and Easter catholics just going on the holidays to ease their guilt for not going at all, our mutual friends were campout/event wiccan just going to the events so they could spend a weekend drinking with a large group of drunk sexually promiscuous strangers. One of our mutual friends (who generally couldn't get laid in a women's prison with a fist full of pardons) bragged to me how he bagged 4 different girls over 3 days at one their events. Yeah, fucking drunk unbathed strangers who likely have the herps (3/5 wiccan do I'm told) in a tent in the woods really isn't my kinda scene.

They say "gods" "deities", it's a just a term and say we can reach such status and they go by many names in cultures.
But the fact, they won't reserve the word for highest love and valuing and reverence for the Creator, speaks volumes of their evil ways to me.

If there were more zombies and "Pet Cemeteries" I might pay more attention.

Magic and gods are woo. Religion and ritual otoh....not so much, beyond the fact that both cloth themselves in woo.
Mystic, wicca and neopaganism have absolutely nothing to do with your silly genie apocalypse.
I have no clue what you mean by “your genie apocalypse.”

The fight between good and evil, he means that and the role I put on the beings very much like the beings in this game: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos_Gods
And they are part of history whether we try to erase them from it or not.

You have a hilariously low bar for evil where others are concerned. A bunch of nature worshipping pacifists, to your mind..are evil...whereas islamists who commit acts of terror are heroes.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Whatever bro, better then your society thinking nuking two cities and threatening a whole nation to surrender, is righteous. You guys are the height of evil in most people in the world eyes except you live in your little racist bubble and can't see it.

Well, that;s nice, but "my society" isn;t wiccan..so I can;t see how it matters in the comparison.

You can't handle the truth. You're too chicken.

Yeah, this. I have a hard time equating 'Wiccans' with 'evil doers'. Hating Wiccans would be like kicking a puppy.
