    no they don't really. As I've said, I'm friendly I just don't expect anything. If all the world was friendly it would be a MUCH different place. Why are you people so in favor of expecting things for your efforts? I will say hi to everyone, if they don't like me I won't kill myself to make them smile, and I don't expect gratitude for anything I do. And I'm never disappointed, only surprised if someone is grateful.

    Thank you for equating my chosen religion with a bunch of loonies dressing up in black capes and going around thinking they can turn into bats or something. As for casting spells to make you change your mind, (1) I don't practice the magic part of Wicca, and even if I did, (2) spells cast on an unwilling subject don't work. Or so they say.

    Hahahahahahahahaha.

    Who DOES practise the casting part of wicca?

    As for the willing/unwilling side of it, people who don't believe in psychics don't pay have their cards read. However, I am completely willing and open to you convincing me, with some ype of proof, that wicca is the one true religion.

    I was not comparing wicca to naziism, i was comparing my feelings for the two. They are nothing alike.

    That's nice. (Un)fortunately, you'll have to wait until somebody who actually believes that Wicca is this One True Religion of yours comes along. As for myself, I happen to believe that Wicca is the right religion for me, but have absolutely no interest in trying to convince other people to believe in it themselves. My dog in this fight is recognition of the validity of Wicca, not its rightness or wrongness.

    Sleek, can you PROVE Christianity as the one true religion? Can you prove Islam or Judaism? No, you can't, and asking for proof of religion is the most idiotic thing in the world. All religion requires faith, and faith never requires evidence.

    Um no, if you feel like paraphrasing at least do it right.

    Basically, Sleek asked her to prove Wicca, but that's a stupid request, no religion can be proved. They are based on faith alone for the most part. That doesn't make them messed up at all, it just makes me believe that laws, wars, bigotry should not be based around religion because making such serious judgements, IMO, requires hard evidence. But just because someone believes something that can't be proved or disproved doesn't make them messed up.

    I didn't say they were messed up I said faith is messed up. Believing something with no evidence is just believing something because you want to believe it, and I think that's messed up.

    Have you ever seen a million dollars? I'm guessing you haven't. But you still know it exists, right?

    lol, that's a pretty good example.

    listen Mr. Mutt, faith can't be proven. But it also can't be disproven. Believing, by definition, is to feel something exists without having proof to corroborate that feeling. When you have proof you stop believing and you start knowing. No one can prove the existence of God, so people can only believe or not believe.

    And I'm sure they think you're just as messed up as you feel they are. The only difference is that you only believe they are messed up. They use your posts as proof, and therefore they KNOW you're messed up.

    Yeah, just ignore what I said... Matah, I haven't seen a million dollars but there's evidence for it, such as the house I live in his worth about 1.6 million dollars Australian.

    The concept is, there is evidence of the existence of 1 billion dollars.

    For anyone who didn't understand, I'll translate Blinky's post.
    " You got us there. Since we can't rebut that comment we'll flame him." Seriously though, what makes me moronic? The fact that I haven't given up yet? Please, rather than calling me a moron, tell me why I'm wrong. My expectations aren't that high, you'll probably just flame me again.

    You will never concentrate on the meaning of stuff, you'll just point out how they're technically incorrect.

    Actually I do, it's just that it's understandably hard for you to know what I'm thinking.
