Try to be nice and tolerant plz. Most people under that umbrella are relatively harmless & their 'religion' is pretty accepting & permitting so that's cool.

but I'd be lying if i said it didn't piss me off when people inject astrology into conversation & try to interrogate your sign all the time. like that's literally evangelizing, don't frickin preach to me, whatever your beliefs, or i will resent. also fuck being sexist, men can also actually get into it, it's not a ploy to get laid

On one hand, making up a religion is cool but, on the other hand, why would you choose to make it a bland cocktail of fake pagan shit

The reason women "fall into" shit like astrology and witch stuff is because it's marketed to them, not because of some sexist bs reasons. Well I guess the marketing is sexist

Somebody's epistemology is limited by the confines of capitalist realism and is too insecure to move beyond that box.

We have subs for all three Abrahamic religions and don't really tolerate people mocking their fictional sky god or their "prophets." If other people want to believe in a moon goddess or earth spirits fucking let them, as long as they're not being preachy about it (which I haven't seen a single instance of on this site) fuck off and leave them alone. And yes, I'm not a wiccan but, I am pagan and I am fucking tired of our beliefs being less valid then others just because less people believe in them.

All religions are equally unvalid.

Astrology is dumb as hell but witchy shit generally is different (though obviously there's some overlap)

[–] Sbebg@hexbear.net 1 points 3 years ago

I know Wiccan people and like it’s cringe the shit they do I’m just saying. It’s literally just edgy christianity

[–] an_engel_on_earth@hexbear.net 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

on the one hand I agree but on the other one more person who becomes a wiccan is one less who becomes an evangelical who are infinitely more cringe so critical support

Why is it a dichotomy lol

Man no one actually has any idea what's actually going on don't kill others vibe even if it's not your own.

I’m allowed to think someone is wrong and misinformed. Wiccan shit is snake oil salesman. The people are into it are the same people who buy essential oils.

You're allowed to do whatever you want I'm words on the internet not a cop (more on that later). I have an elderly neighbor who does crystal and faith healing stuff, and has offered to do it to me a few times. I don't have any reason to believe it works, but I politely accept because it's more important for me not feel like a raging asshole than it is share with everyone just how I think the world works.

Problem is those people are the same people who don’t vaccinate their kids and are anti hospitals blood transfusions etc. it’s harmful 😜
