Re: Ask about Paganism

I have a question for the pagan. What do you get out of worshipping Satan? When you light candles and draw pentagrams and sacrifice animals, you are essentially selling your soul to him. Why do you do that? Don't you know you will go to Hell for that?

Wrong again. Pagans do not worship Satan. Satanists worship Satan. BIG difference. HUGE!

And if you figured that I sacrifice animals, than you have seriously misunderstood the term VE-GE-TA-RI-AN. The reason I am vegetarian is because I believe we are all equal and one of my main principles is DO NO HARM. I believe that eating animals and wearing their fur and hide is wrong because I consider them my FRIENDS. I'm sure you're familiar with the term. I would never harm another being, and yes, animals ARE, in fact, beings.

Re: Ask about Paganism

You are very, very right here.

I'm glad you've pointed out this. Sadly, they won't listen to you, as they need to make up "evils" to fight, in order to draw attention away from their own, dubious activities. I strongly recommend you to read this thread, it is hot news here in Freehold: you will see what lurks behind the hypocrisy of these people.

Yes, I figured as much. I will keep trying, though, someone must have enough brains to cope with it

As for the hypocrisy, unfortunately, it's everywhere and I am most certainly not surprised to see it here. I've learnt a long time ago that those who claim to be strictly religious, are the most hypocritical ones.

Re: Ask about Paganism

No I'm not, but I don't see anything wrong in being gay. In spite of what you may think, being gay is NOT a choice, it's a biological thing. A choice is to be bisexual, but to be gay is pure nature.
And no, I am not bisexual either. Though I wouldn't mind a bit of experimenting, everything in due time.
For the record, I'm in a very stable relationship for over 5 years and we're engaged to be married.

Dear Queerbait;

Did you miss the part about us not being even slightly interested in your unsaved opinons?

Were you aware that the Holy Bible condemns you to hell just for defending queers? (Romans 1:31-32)

I'm glad I'm not you.

Would you be so kind as to point out the "gay gene" evidence in the scientific literature?

Thanks!

Re: Ask about Paganism

One more thing, I am not trying to create a disorder here, I am just trying to help people realize it's not all black&white, that pagans/wiccans are NOT bad people even though we do not worship Jesus.
After all, the main rule of Wicca is DO NO HARM! I am not trying to convert anyone, I'm just sick of people thinking ill about things they DO NOT know.

You are very, very right here.

Re: Ask about Paganism

Please answer my question; why do pagans lie and deny eating babies?

We are being fair and balanced here friend.

Well, I'll try to answer a part of your question.

Pagans DO NOT eat babies. There are, unfortunately, people in this world who do, in fact, eat other humans, even babies. Those people are NOT pagans, they are insane, twisted, wicked people, mentally ill, unstable people who do not know right from wrong.
Maybe SOME of those people are, in fact, pagans, maybe they worship different gods, maybe even demons, but you cannot generalize pagans as baby-eaters based on that. Notice MAYBE in my previous sentence as a VERY important part of it!

Now to the part where I'm answering part of your question.

Anyone who does that knows that it's wrong. Maybe he thinks it's the right thing, but he knows it's not socially accepted, therefore he knows something isn't right, and that's the reason he would deny it and lie about it.

Re: Ask about Paganism

When I say that you don't know a first thing about paganism, that includes your delusion that pagans eat babies. Or Wiccans.
It's a delusion, it's not true. And this is not denying "the fact", this IS the fact!

Re: Ask about Paganism

Listen, pal; We know very well what you witches get up to. We've been studying them and doing Creation Scientific research on them for years. And what about incidents like THIS?

I hope you stick around for hunting season.

Re: Ask about Paganism

Well of course they don't eat Christian babies anymore. It's much safer and easier for them to eat aborted babies these days.

Re: Ask about Paganism

Well, you don't have a proof that pagans eat babies, either.
Have you even read the answer posted on that page?

I have to admit I was a bit taken aback by your question. No where in my studies have I ever run across this scenario and I'm a life long student. I was born and raised pagan and as you may or may not know paganism requires a lifetime of studying. So I decided to look this up! It appears in some parts of the world, especially among the tribes of antiquity, they do in fact eat the placenta for it's nutritional value. Animals will eat the placenta for the same reason. Wiccans/Pagans do not eat the placenta of their babies and as far as I can tell, there is no symbolism in doing so other then for the nutritional value, although some claim it helps to ward off postpartum depression and is usually taken in capsule form for those "modern" women out there who actually practice this and apparently, there are some who do so.

What many of us do is take the placenta home with us. Generally speaking the planting of a tree in honor of a new born baby is common practice. The placenta is put in the hole with the tree to nourish it as it grows. It's sort of like a way to give back to our Earth Mother who has blessed us with a precious baby.

I'm sorry that I don't have the answer you were perhaps looking for. This is a practice that is simply not done among the neo-pagan community as a whole. I do hope, at some point, you find the answer you are looking for.

Now, what I can claim with utmost certainty is that pagans I know do NOT eat babies. Most of them are vegetarians, just as I am. Now, you probably won't believe any of this, but at least I tried to explain and maybe someone who reads it will actually think about it and realize that the "fact" that pagans eat babies is just a bunch of bull!
You failed to prove your point.

It's a delusion, it's not true. And this is not denying "the fact", this IS the fact!

Do you know what "delusion" means? It's a belief maintained in the face of compelling evidence to the contrary.

You might refer to the "atheist delusion", people who insist there's no God in spite of the evidence surrounding them.

However, you have not shown me proof that pagans do not eat babies.

Now for the truth:

They start with the placenta. After that, they develop a taste for baby flesh, and begin to hunger. Every time they look at a baby, they see food.

Now, I still want to know why CHRISTIAN babies above others?
