Welcome to Gaia! ::

well, not to disagree or anything, but, uh, when you did say what was said to you, they did become your words, since they were coming from your mouth. if you don't want to be associated with those words, you shouldn't say 'em, yeah?

by the way, how does everybody like this color? heart 4laugh heart

Ok people, to avoid anymore flaming I will post my own beliefs.
1: Believe what you want to believe. I don't particularly care what you believe in, just don't try to convert me to it.
2: This whole thing of being a real wiccan doesn't mean a thing to me. I couldn't care less. If you have a problem with how other people follow the religion, bring it to them and not me. I'm HEATHEN, not wiccan.
3: The nympho thing was a quote, not my own words and I do not associate with said person. Intolerance is injustice, or so I believe.
4: If somebody is not of your culture and does something rude or offensive in yours, kindly let them know that what they did offended you and ask them not to do it in your presence.

Drop the persecution complex. No one flamed you.

Hi. Welcome to the Fluffy Pagan Rehabilitation Center. This is a place designed to educate people in responsible paganism. This isn't about converting you. The two people who have addressed you on this subject aren't of the Wica.

This is about keeping people from spreading bad information. Personal, unsupported, refuted opinions that leads others astray don't have any place here as they perpetuate the misguidance that others are here to get help with.
I have a problem with your actions. I have a problem with your thoughtless perpetuation of misinformation.

You don't know what Wica is. You speak as though you do, and you're perpetuating lies.

In so much that you applied it here without any correction, you perpetuated it. Be thoughtful next time. You'll come across less insulting.

Or maybe, you might not want to even so much as repeat such at all. You know, that whole Havamal 27 thing and all.


Really? You mean, like I have done several times before and did so here? Good grief. Make your mind up. stare You're starting to contradict yourself in a painfully obvious way.

You did when you said "Actually, some wiccans even count that as another sort of pagan religion in itself in order to avoid affiliation with 'those nymphos.'" since you are presenting those who aren't of the Wica as being correct in separating themselves and indulging in Culture Rape and No True Scotsman Fallacies.

You don't know what a flame is.

For one I AM NOT OKAY WITH THE FACT THAT THOSE RACIST BASTARDS MARCH UNDER THE BANNER OF THE NORSE GODS! They are gods I revere and hate to see it, and when I go to war, I hate the fact that I am fighting for them as well. I do apologize if I made it seem I was sympathetic with those who said what I quoted, but I am not. And people learn differently in the world, and those with cultures that are like you said will have to learn tolerance of others sooner or later. I'm not saying that they must as of now, but people must learn there are countless ways of life.

You are a soldier then?
Or are you using war to refer to some other issue?

No, it was your ambivalence at the actions of people as they erode away the core of what a religion is that prompted me to ask. Why should raping one religion be okay, but not another? How do you justify that?

I prefer to think sooner would be better wink .

Nice. My brother is an Infantryman.

Get used to it. What good are your beliefs if you don't allow them to be questioned? How strong is your faith really if it is never questioned or critiqued? When someone is questioning your beliefs, it is not always an attack. It can be uncomfortable, but more often than not you could out on the other side better for it.

Correct people when you see them spreading the misinformation. Read up and listen to people who are actually a member of that faith (and can verify it where applicable) to become more educated on the faith and the whys and hows and whens of it.
