Because that's how THEY want you to think 1+1 works.

i shall boggle your mind... - 04-20-01

y ask why? it is only a quesion, one of the smallest questions known to man, and we have all asked ourselves this over nadover and over again, and still it has never been answered, never has any genius or philosopher answered this, its seems, ironic question. so y ask it, tis a mad mans question or is it? for if i am crazy then i would not say that i am crazy for crazy people to not admit they are, in fact they totally deny it. so then i must not be mad, yep im not mad, but there i go denying my crazyness, so i truley must crazy, NOOOO!!! if im saying im crazy i cant be. any way you see how such a simple dumb question can drive one insane, so dont ask that unanswerable question. WAIT!! what if that was a lie, what if this whole thing is a lie, ha!! i tell you indeed it is a lie, i have mislead you and im sorry, you see there is an answer, an even more simple, and stupid answer then the question it answers, that answer my freind is
BECAUSE!!!!!!!!
:p

I don't think it should be the year 2001, for all we know, its only 2001 because the major world religion is christianity, so because "Jesus" was born, time starts then. The thing is, he was no more than some psycho who said he was the son of god! Don't believe me! Go to a major city and ask as many poor weird dumass people if they'r e the son of god!

Why is it that throughout my life the word "wicca" has almost always been attached to an idiot?

While I generally hold no ill will to the bulk of the Wiccan religion and it's practitioners, I'm inclined to agree with you on this one, DM.

Too many people still holding on to hostility because they were made to go to church.

NO ONE diss the Wiccan religion... i'm not Wiccan, i'm not anything... but Wicca IS a religion, JUST like any other... they don't believe in god, and they SURE AS HELL DO NOT Believe in Satan (they ARE NOT devil worshipers) they believe in a power/energy...

But as far as math goes, i forget the name of the guy who invented Math, but Math was made mostly for mesurements for building things like houses and stuff...

Perhaps you're right. My judging all Wiccans as idiots just because many I've met are is no different than assuming all Christians are assholes just because some are or any other ridiculous stereotype. Hence forth I shall give an equal amount of respect to Wicca as any other religion.

I'm tired of the Hoorey For Everything gang making fun of everyone who dislikes christianity. Granted, that kid didn't seem to bright, there is still a pro christian leaning on this site that makes me ill. Maybe he was forced to go to church, or maybe, like me, he's never been.


Fucking your mother doesn't make me any less of a HOMO.

I'm not particularly concerned if you don't like christianity. I'm only concerned if you dislike it for stupid reasons.

Point out it's flaws and where it needs a hell of alot of improvements. Explain why you think it sucks.

Hell, I'm very big on pointing out the idiot christians that have no clue what they are talking about.

But when you start spouting that jesus was just some crazy guy and you've got no real logical arguements, then I have a tendency to think you're still suffering from emotional scarring of forced church attendance.

I will listen to any idea's of different religions people want to offer. Because, hey, that's what gives me that happy fuzzy feeling. I like religion. (All of them.)

I'll call you on it if you start speaking out of your tushie. *grin*

Also, I don't think anyone mentioned they thought they worshipped satan. That's just stupid. In order to worship him, you have to believe in him in the first place.

Yes, it is true, the kids who don't like religion on darkness are usually pretty dumb. I think the trend changes, though, in real life. For some some reason the dumb ones flock here.

Nah, no one said on this thread that Wiccan people worship Satan... Just a lot of people out there think they do... But they don't... there normal people... and most of them repsect other religions...

Nostradamus (if you don't know who he is then please... just go away..) normally used the date 230 AD or something like that for his starting date, instead of the normal 1 AD.

Interesting, isn't it?

I was unaware of that... but then again, Nostradamus incorrectly predicted the end of the world if I'm not mistaken...?
