Holy Mother of God, Berkowitz. Did you come up with these ideas on your own or have you been listening to the neighbor's dog again?

Did you ever read the Old Testament?

To me, the primary tenet of any religion is that if you
believe in our ****, everything will be great after you
die.

most all religions serve to eliminate or at least reduce fear of death incorporating the belief that physical death is not an end but merely a change. Witchcraft is no different.

Somerfrost, I do not attack every poster that disagrees with me. Not in the least.

I go after people such as yourself for pretty much the reasons give by Coach.

You sometimes come across as superior and sanctimonious, like you are more highly evolved than the rest of us.

Though you aren't as bad as Riot, I find it is you who is intolerant.

I personally have no issues with Wiccans, at least in the sense that I find all religions to be a means of population control, which makes any religion unappealing to me.

I'll give you that Wiccanism, or however you'd name it, is less about control than the big three in the Western world.

I'm all about natural living and living as close to the Earth as you can, and I applaud anyone else that tries to break free from being a mindless cog in the great machine of civilization.

Daresay, I probably go to much greater extremes than most of your fellow Wiccans on this one.

I certainly feel superior to no one, long before I embraced Witchcraft I came to the realization that all folks are equal, some more intelligent, some wealthier, some more skilled socially but all equal. My point of view and the way I come across is probably more influenced by my profession than anything. One doesn't always come across the same on the net as in person, such is the limitation of the virtual world. I try and state my opinions honestly and respect those of others...sometimes, being human, I may do a poor job of that but believe me, life has taught me that I'm not superior to others.

Bullshyt. You and "I'm God" both just determine who you think is taking the lead, and you spend your energy undermining them. You are simply diseased rebounders. There is no help for you insecure bitches. You don't want to outrun someone. You want to bump n' trip them. Your eye is on the leader the whole race. Look at Chantal n' Victor in the BIG CAP. Both riding the chalk horse. This is what you do. If you have to just ride your own horse, you're lost. If you think someone else feels superior, sanctimonious, or "more highly evolved" than you, then, I think you're spending too much time worrying about who is posting what. You're insecure.

All my beliefs are of ancient origin, to the best of my knowledge none came from dogs, cats or any other animals.

No dope, no orgies. Sh!t I'll just stay Catholic. That's plenty ancient enough for me.

Actually, Catholicism has 'borrowed' more 'beliefs' and tenets from other religions/belief systems than any other.
