alright how many witches are on this board

[Pyraxis]

It's called entropy.

Agreed.

[richard]

absolutley not. this was not a tempatures thing, i doubt my fingers were warming up the whatever i had my fingers on and it was sliding across the board when i asked it questions

[richard]

richard you might wanna not diddle with ouija boards. magic is real and you should be edumacated and shit before you go messing with it. i'm not a witch but i know enough about magic to not fuck with it when i haven't done my homework.

i know! i havent messed around with one for a few years, the last time when i actually hear somthing call out my name is the last time

[Calandale]

I found wicca, if that's what you're referring to, as annoying
as most religions. Too much reliance on group power. I'd
rather just tap into more potent religions, and utilize their
force, than submit to anything equally demanding yet
weaker.

It's amazing how many of the advantages of religions can be had without buying into the demands.

i'm not surprised - from what i know, some of the higher profile wiccan stuff is the states is full of lunatics, even more so than usual.

too right.

...........and i don't believe there's such a thing as evil, ...........

So you don't consider loading 6 million people in cattlecars, and sending them to gas chambers, evil??

i don't believe that people have an external locus of control, which means they blame a nebulous concept of "Evil" instead of taking responsibility for their own actions.   i think hitler was a psychopathic maniac, but not evil, cos the concept of both good and evil is a get out clause. 

everything has to be viewed in context, and with intent and awareness into account (otherwise we'd have no "diminished responsibility").

i believe instead in right and wrong, so the Holocaust was massively wrong, and i can say why (which makes the term slightly less nebulous).

saying things are evil is also accepting that they're a given, and is yet another way for people to cop out, so they don't do anything about it.  obviously, i can't go back in time and change the slaughter of 6 million jews (and thousands of gay people, jehovah's witnesses, disabled people, gypsies, etc., etc.), but i can fight for human rights and equal opportunities, in an attempt to stop it happening again.

so, the short answer to your question is "no, i don't," because i don't want to say "ooooh, that was evil.  can't do anything about evil.  what's for breakfast?", i want to say "it was fucking wrong, so what am i going to do about it?"

'Witches' and other pagans were dubbed evil or 'Satanists' because they were in competition with organised religion, pure and simple.

Pagan worship of goats/cows was 'evil' therefore the face of evil (the devil, Satan) is portrayed as having those animal's features.
