Wow, this is definitely a departure from the usual. :D

Haha, I love the quote by Hemmingway. ;) It’s one of my favorites. Another one that can be applied to this situation is “whatever works, works” (Kurt Vonnegut). Basically . . . even if what you produce is bad, it’s still there, and it’s workable. That’s better than nothing. :o) Good luck!

I dunno–I think it could have something to do with the post thinking the info was “too mature” for her age (could mean anything really). I think it’s an automatic thing, but I don’t know!

Maybe we should make a post about it. :D

BUUUT yeah, back to the original topic (info on Wicca).

I realized just a moment ago that I forgot to direct you to a really great site with a bunch of articles and such on Pagan topics: www.witchvox.com

And, if you’re interested in other religions, there’s always www.religioustolerance.org (really useful site, IMO).

Mmkay, I’m done now, back to “screw you guys” XD

Mmm mmm good.

*roflol*

Marconius, you stole my answer! ;D Hehe.

‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’? :D

Since Crackhacky said to, I will now be a super-nice happyhappy girl. :D

(Hehe. Crackhacky = boss? :D)

I’m just teasing ya, btw. ;) I really will make more of an effort to be nice. :P

rsouthgat: Well, I am sorry if I’ve caused offense. I hope you don’t mind if I respond, and I’m sincerely sorry if I cause you any further GI distress. ;P

I only have one or two things to say anyway. :)

I do admit that you never said the word “wrong” but I was quoting on your general intent. Did I misunderstand? I’d like to know if I did. Do you actually think that Wicca is not “wrong” and/or is not “untrue”?–Because that is the impression I got. Here is your chance to remedy it if I was jumping to conclusions.

The intent of my post was to point out that it is generally not wise to say that a religion falls under the “crap that isn’t actually true” heading on a post filled with practitioners and/or fans of that religion. And also that it’s only common decency to respect others’ religious beliefs. *Shrug* I know you’re probably a good enough person to agree to that last one, or at least I hope you are.

Let’s try to keep this as civil as possible so that the thread doesn’t get deleted, please? Like I said, I like swapping information with like-minded individuals. I have only seen one or two threads like this on Help.com, and it would be a shame to see this one go just because the two of us got snippety with each other. ;)

Also, rsouthgat (after having read your reply that’s awaiting approval through your profile): A lot of people don’t believe that a lot of religions are “right.” I’m okay with you not believing in the tenets of Wicca or the practices of Wicca, but I’m not okay with you disrespecting the religion because of it. Wicca is not a “fad.” Regardless of whether it’s right or wrong or true or untrue, some great things have been done for the sake of Wicca, just like some great things have been done for the sake of Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, etc. regardless of whether they are “right” or “wrong.”

I guess what I’m saying is, I don’t see the point in you saying that Wicca is “wrong” in a thread that is made up of predominately Wiccan and/or Pagan writers. That does nothing except make everyone feel angry at you. *Shrug* Just saying.

Oh, no problem, it’s perfectly fine. ^_^ Do whatever you feel like you need to do, Crackhacky!

Yes, I feel the same way Julie. :)

Aww, that’s kinda sad . . . I’m glad you had such a life-enhancing career, though! It sounds like it was pretty awesome! :)

I heard a statistic somewhere that says that the average college student changes majors five times before finding what they really love.

(Can anybody back me up on this? lol)

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. :o) Just follow your heart and try everything you’re interested in! Eventually you’ll find the right answer. :)

Same as Oster. I’ve heard of it, but beyond that I don’t know much about it . . . sorry!
