Re: Merry Meet, Christians

In fact, this is a good question! But to answer this question is so hard. It's actually more about philosophy than science. To answer, what makes magic real, we would have to answer first: what is reality? How can we measure what is real? For example, hallucinations can be for certain persons as real as the moon is for us. Sometimes we witness things, which we cannot believe to be real, but they are. Some people, who lost a leg, swear that they still feel the pain in the leg sometimes, even if they know, it's gone. We say this is just stupid, but for them it is reality.

But this is reality. Nerve endings carry messages to the brain, which interprets these messages as "pain," in the case of a missing leg, or as "Mary, mother of Jesus," in the case of hallucinations. That these messages are responding to a false stimulus doesn't mean it's not real. God made nerve endings to do a very specific job, and because ours is a fallen world, corrupt with sin, these things make mistakes. Some of these mistakes are painful or scary, but that doesn't make them magical.

So, this is actually not about a proof in a science way,

Nor is it proof in a philosophical way.

but magic is alot about feelings. If you take drugs, you feel very strange things sometimes and you don't question it, you just know that these feelings are there in that moment and that is all that matters. It's similiar with magic. When that feeling is flowing through your body, you can FEEL it and you know that it is REAL for you. I can feel it, I can sense it and it amazes me everytime again. I don't do all this, because I want to be spooky or powerful, but because it makes me feel stable and strong and I feel one with this world.

So let me get this straight. You have an experience, your brain surges with endorphins, you feel euphoria, and so you call this "magic," even though there are other, more credible reasons that explains this phenomena? Why not call puppies "magic," or flowers blooming "magic," since you want to use this word to describe things that enhance your mood in a positive way?

I think you guys have a wrong idea about Wiccas. We don't summon demons or do some magic like Harry Potter or something. xD We are celebrating the mother nature, the circle of life and we pray to get reborn near our beloved ones in our next life. What we seek is wisdom and love in everything, that surrounds us. BELIEVING is stronger than you think. We create a part of our reality on our own. A bumblebee is actually way to fat to fly. But it doesn't know, so it flies either way. Some people are convinced that they are the best, so they are naturally successfull. If you think, you always have bad luck and your life is the worst, it will be. And when I think that this spells work, they will work for me.

So because you don't see the work of Satan, you decide it must not be him? That's awfully convenient. Good luck with that.

Some people who just want to listen to facts only will find it hard to understand what I say.

Dear, as a True Christian™ lady, and devout follower of Christ Jesus, I do not rely on facts only. I know there is a supernatural reality that can be neither proven, nor explained, but can be taken on faith. For those who take it on faith, no proof or explanation is even necessary.

But even though you might not be satisfied with these words, I feel good as I am and it makes me happy and stable to know, that I am a part of this world and that I can feel the nature and life flowing through my body.

So part of being good and stable is to embrace one's delusions? Interesting logic there.

For example, on full moon sometimes we just meet in the middle of the forest and dance and eat together and go crazy and just let ourselves go and those are the moments where I feel free like never before and we don't even need drugs for it. Just being human and let our lowest instincts get the control. Pure freedom.

Um, but that's not magic. That's just the emotions that accompany being with people who make you feel good, people with whom you have a sincere and pleasant relationship.

Gosh, I could write waaay more, but nothing what I say will ever be enough. As I said, you need to feel it to understand what I mean. I hope that gave you at least a little idea of what this is about.

Actually, no. I don't have any more idea now than before. It seems all you do is corrupt the word "magic" to describe things that make you feel really, really happy.

Dear, that doesn't mean it's real.

Clearly, what's real is Satan is fooling with your emotions, luring you into his lies.

Don't be fooled! Let Jesus Save you!

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

1.No, they won't die, as it is a feeling. Feelings aren't facts, but they can be an important point for our decisions and the way we start to be. What I meant with it, is, that it might not be the reality for all of us, but for HIM it is. He won't say "oh, come on, that's not real".

So a man having a panic attack, thinking he's having a heart attack, will in reality be having a heart attack even though he's not because he's having a panic attack (not synonymous, medically speaking) because the important thing is what he feels?

2. What I say is, for the person who feels it, yes, it IS true. I am saying that the truth and the reality have many faces and every single person is living his/her own reality. For some of us life is a lovey dovey place, for others it's hell.

So what you're saying is, a child with autism, whose brain gets overloaded in those stimuli that are hardly noticed by neuroypically developed people, could simply learn to feel not overwhelmed? You do realize you'd get the Nobel Prize for proving you have the cure to autism, right? Do you know how many parents cry themselves to sleep at night knowing their children suffer a living Hell inside their own minds just because their brains don't operate in such a way as to interpret benign stimuli as non-threatening? What are you waiting for? Why not call a press conference right now and announce this?

3. A pedophile is one, when he actually believes, that it is right, what he is doing. Of COURSE this is a horrible thing in our society and noone would tolerate it, but the pedophile himself would say: "What? I don't do anything wrong."

Are you suggesting that pedophile is not wrong?

4. I'm 20 years old and no, not what comforts him. Some of us choose to believe, that Jesus Christ is real and I tolerate that. If they think, God exists, he exists for them. Some say, that there is no God and live only by facts and it's fine for them as well. I say, that we are all connected in a circle of life and that there is more than mere logic. And I am fine with it! And if two people believe different things: so what? Many of my friends are atheists and we get along just fine.

So what? For those who don't believe, their names will not be written in the Book of Life, and they will be thrown in the Lake of Fire to suffer for all eternity (Revelation 20:15)!

5. That is a hard question. First of all, in my religion we say, as long as we don't harm anyone, we can do as we want. And I think this is a good idea. So if you want to believe in Christ or in Jehova or in science, go ahead, as long as you don't hurt anyone else with that. So if you are thinking of killing someone for example, you should think about it twice. And, of course, if the ideas and feelings are based on certain situations of the past. Sometimes it's connected with a traumatic happening.

How very convenient for someone like the pedophile who believes sincerely he's not hurting anyone. I wonder what other cruel things are done to people in the name of feeling like one is doing the right thing.

6. You got that wrong what I said. Imagine a girl, let's say, 15 years old. She thinks, that she is ugly and nobody likes her. That is her feeling about herself and her personal reality, so she will probably keep away from others and won't go much on parties, won't have any self confidence, and so on. With that, noone much talking to her, she will see her feelings confirmed, that nobody likes her. So she kind of makes her own reality with what she thinks about herself. But if someone thinks he is super awesome, he will seem very confident to other people and it will be easier to get in contact with him, so he actually IS kind of successfull, because he trust in himself.

Spoken like one who has only faced First World problems.

7. What I say is, that there is not ONE truth but many. I don't want to say that ONE person says that what he says is the one and ultimate truth. Reality is a little bit like a diamond- it has many facettes and everyone sees them from another view.

"Jesus is the Messiah" is the Truth, and also "Jesus is not the Messiah" is also the Truth?

[Mary Etheldreda]

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

I know what you want to say. But this is the point, Lady. Our "magic" isn't meant to be functional. The magic we speak of is only for US and only that we feel near to nature and stable. If we do a ritual, it is that we can feel the nature around us and feeling near to the Goddess....

If your "magic" isn't functional, and the word really only refers to things that can be explained without magic, how do you even know this "goddess" exists?

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

And I most definitely won't force you to.

By the way, if you really are interested in magic, I recommend to read the book "witchcraft today"

This is a very powerful prayer against Witchcraft. This prayer can shut down witches and satanists forever. Being that this prayer basically shuts down the senders of the hexes and vexes by returning their evil to them sevenfold. I now hurl it at you in Christ's name!

Father,
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I plead the precious uncorruptable blood of Jesus over myself and my church and everything that belongs to us. I ask for giant warrior Angels to be loosed from Heaven to surround and protect us. As your war club and weapons of war I break down, undamn, and blow up all walls of protection around all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, and the like, and I break the power of all curses, hexes, vexes, spells, charms, fetishes, physic prayers, physic thought, all witchcraft, sorcery, magic, voodoo, all mind control, jinxes, potions, bewitchments, death, destruction, sickness, pain, torment, physic power, physic warfare, prayer chains, and everything else being sent my way or my family members way, and I return it and the demons to the senders right now!, SEVENFOLD, and I BIND it to them by the Blood of Jesus!

Father, I pray that these lost souls will find the light of your son Jesus.. Their own snares and traps have been set against themselves.. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I now loose them from all mindcontrol of satan!.. Father I also ask that you Bind the Holy Spirit to there hearts as a guide to your son Jesus.. So they may be set free from the bondages of satan.

In Jesus name I pray..
Amen

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

What you don't understand is, that magic has never been ANYTHING different than what I explained. All those strange stories about witches riding broomsticks and whatsoever are stories of the church to scare the people and somehow, that image is stuck on witches.
But you know guys, I give up on trying to explain it to you. I got the feeling that you just do everything in your power to avoid understanding what I say, so I'd say, let's just stick to the point, that I have my way and you have yours, you won't understand what I say anyway.
Blessed Be.

Of course it does. He isn't feeling any negative effects of your evil spells, is he?

Those stories were all made up by the church? Really? Why is the Bible so explicit over and over again on its warnings not to practice witchcraft if none of those stories are true?

[Maike Lorenzen, nazi witch]

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

It wasn't me using that picture, I found it on that side by coincidence

The witchcraft they are warning for is like fortune telling, potions and this things. Many centuries ago, alot of of the simple people were believing in the religion, which is the wiccas religion nowadays. But the church started to rise and they saw the witchcraft, which was whorshipping mother nature and the horned God and where people were praying for enough food and love and everything to have a comfortable life, as a rival. So they started to take some of their rituals and twist them into bad things, adding stuff like "riding on broomsticks", to make the people turn to christianity. Especially the catholics started to spread such words about the wiccas and the witch hunts started, so many people became christians. Even now most wiccas only act in secret. Most of our rituals are secret, because most people can't tolerate what we do, even though it has nothing evil on it. Actually, the Wiccan religion is very similiar and based on the celtic believes.

Simple you mean like stupid? Yeah, that describes wiccans.

Has anyone ever pointed out to you that wicca is a religion that was made up whole cloth in the 1960's?

Actually, the Wiccan religion is very similiar and based on the celtic believes.

Oh really? What were those? What is the name of the god or godess they worshiped? What were its rituals? How do you know you are performing them correctly today?

Is it because of Gardner? I think it is.

[Maike Lorenzen, nazi witch]

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

Gardner released a book about wiccas in 1954.

The God is called the Horned Go. Some people might relate to the devil, but in fact the horned God is the master of death. the Goddess has many faces and can show herself in several ways, so she actually has many names. As we say, "all Goddesses are one Goddess and all Gods are one God." But in fact,we all just call the Goddess our "great mother".

Gardner certainly has made an essential point in the history of Wiccas, but witches existed long time before Wiccas. Wiccas are actually just a modern kind of witches and still use the same rituals as the celtics did. Noone can tell you, if we do it precisely right! But we say: "An it harm none do what ye will".

[Levi Jones]

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

No, he released the book about wicca which he claimed to have found and translated himself.

The God is called the Horned Go.

The celtic religion that was practiced for around 1000 years over 1500 years ago?

That is something alright. Our God has been worshiped for over 6000 years.

How interesting. Do you also perform human sacrifice like your Celtic druid sisters did back in the Iron Age?

See my question above.

Noone can tell you, if we do it precisely right! But we say: "An it harm none do what ye will".

That doesn't sound quite like the druid religion. Are you sure you're doing it right?

[Maike Lorenzen, nazi witch]

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

Yes, he found that book on his own, but I read that book and he says several times, that he wrote that book based on experiences with witches he met during his journey.


No, we are not sacrificing humans anymore. I said, Wiccan Religion is based on celtic religion, not that it is exactly the same.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that I'm doing it right. My mum taught me how to do it and her mother taught her as well and so on. But as I said, as long as we don't hurt anyone else, we are free to do whatever we want. An it harm none do what ye will.

[Paragon of virtue]

Re: Merry Meet, Christians

But we say: "An it harm none do what ye will".

Y'know who also said that? A gentleman by the name of one Anton Szandor LaVey AKA Howard Stanton Levey. This good fellow has been burning in Hell since 1997 for writing the Satanic Bible. You may call him the "Horned god" but we all know him to be and he is rather intimate with Mr. Levay these days and you can bet he will be very close to you should you not change your ways...you will have no excuse.
