Can you give us an example of illegitimate insanity?

Why are you having such a hard time in believing what God created.

Certainly. Legitimate insanity would be, of course, insanity that conforms to the rules. Since insanity like spouting this religious garbage is typical, it conforms to the rules, and is thusly legitimate. Illegitimate insanity would be, then, insanity that does not conform to standards. An instance can be fetishes. Fetishes are classified as psychoses, but they do not necessarily cause harm to the practitioner - therefore, these insanities are not legitimate, per se.

But fetishes do cause harm to the practioner. If someone had a homosexual fetish, they would be sent to Hell because of that.

And here I thought you were wise concerning the world as when you deflected Flash's advances. It dismays me to realize I may have been mistaken for the first time this month. As a True Christian(tm) I would never provide links to fetish porn (as though I would even know how to find it), but I have been told by censors whose job it is to watch and censor (that is why they are called censors) that stuff in order to rate it, that fetishes can indeed cause harm.

To rephrase, insanity has to cause harm measurable in the mortal world. The vast majority of fetishists enjoy their fetish and see it as their natural orientation, with no intention of changing it, regardless of their impending damnation, as you think shall happen!

Oh, dear! I assure you, I am perfectly wise to the fact that fetishes can certainly cause mental distress if the fetishist is upset with himself for possessing such attributes.

You talk an awful lot about fetishes. Why is that, I wonder?

And please don't use terms of endearment when addressing me. As a True Christian(tm) I am immune to your heathenish seduction.

Hey, aren't Wiccans just a bunch of fat old whores who get sodomized nightly by Africans with AIDS? I don't envy you, OP.

Re: Greetings from a Pagan

Why do you give them that much credit? Every Wiccan I've ever met has just been a scared little person, frightened at the insignificance of a single human being in the vastness of the universe, and unable to deal with the impending end of their own existence, a curse common to all humans.

Not understanding the natural processes that have formed and control everything, of course they make up imaginary superfriends to explain stuff, and imbue these friends with their own irrational fears, jealousies and hatreds.

Quite sad, actually, when you think of it.

We will make a True Christian(tm) out of you yet. You are so close, just turn your life over to Jesus and you can be in Heaven with the rest of us!

As for wiccans, I agree with your statement, but you forgot to add that they believe that they can control these "superfriends" and make the world work the way they want it to by casting spells.

I mean they don't even realize that a new moon doesn't shine, let alone give them magical powers. During a new moon, the moon rises during the day (sometimes you can see it), so I'm not sure how it's giving them powers at night. Magic I guess.

Ah, myself, I have recieved two so far!

I personally find it hilarious. These people do so love the States, it seems, but they evidently don't love the constitutional rights that make them what they are! Oh, you know, like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and all that jazz.

I hate jazz.

Okay. Nah, I don't expect to have rights here, but I find it amusing that to people so in love with their country they do not use the very foundation of it to model their endeavours!

What are you talking about? The foundation of America is the Bible. We model our endeavours on the Bible just like the Founding Fathers did.

I'm sure that if I went over to your front yard in Florida, the cpolice would be fine with it. Unless you went out of your way to say that I was "disturbing the peace," or something - and I suppose the arguement could then be made that anyone can say that another is "disturbing the peace," and then they'd be prosecuted in return.

Are you familiar with the concept of private property?

Actually, calling a moon "The Moon" is a name. It's like naming your pet rat "Rat." A name is simply a word that designates an animal or object.

Fine, then, Miss Pedant, it doesn't even have a proper name. "Miss Pedant", "Degenerate Wop", and "That woman who isn't actually anywhere near as clever as she thinks she is, but has constructed a wonky mish-mash of Buddhist and Nietzschean rubbish to make herself feel superior to everyone else" are all names that could be used to designate you, but Stella LaForte is your proper name. Do you see the difference?

lol, like some one who shuts their energies off from the world, just cause a book writ thousands of years ago says that it is witchcraft. knows that the Moon is a "dead rock". you know nothing about the energies of the the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth

and yes The Moon can bless it shares its energies with every night.

If the Moon can bless, can it curse? Is it going to come and get me for saying nasty things about it?

No, the founding fathers of America were mainly deists. America was not founded on any Christian principles whatsoever. This is evidenced - in an American document - in Article XI of the 1796 American contract with Tripoli, reading:

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Are you familiar with the concept of private property?

Yes.

Fine, then, Miss Pedant, it doesn't even have a proper name. "Miss Pedant", "Degenerate Wop", and "That woman who isn't actually anywhere near as clever as she thinks she is, but has constructed a wonky mish-mash of Buddhist and Nietzschean rubbish to make herself feel superior to everyone else" are all names that could be used to designate you, but Stella LaForte is your proper name. Do you see the difference?

Of course. Stella LaForte is my given title, as the Moon is the given title of the moon. This is shown as how the Moon is to be capitalised when you speak of the moon orbiting around the Earth, as opposed to a lowercase moon orbiting around Jupiter.

Re: Greetings from a Pagan

I am of a different branch of wicca. I believe in evolution and all of that. I just believe that nature is a beautiful thing that isn't given enough credit for what goes on. And if we wiccans want to embody that spirit of the lovely mysteries in nature with our own minds, who are you to tell us that we're idiots for loving the trees?
