Because absolutely nothing has happened.


Well, would you like if someone called a
religion you respect "all nonsense"?


If it were a ligitimate religion, no. However, it is a little hard to
perceive wicca as a ligitimate religion. Since little is really known of the
old pagan religions (especially directly), wicca practices today cannot
seriously be linked to paganism. Instead, the practices today mostly seem
made up from images and stories in movies, television, and fiction books
(old and new). And the people involved often take on the personas of
characters directly from those fiction stories. Further, their claims of
spells, charms, and so on, are simply hogwash (childish hogwash). Everyone
is certainly free to believe what they want, including those who consider
the whole thing absolutely ludicrous.

By the way, this is not "us versus them." I have no specific religious
beliefs, so pointing to a ligitimate religion is not really going to change
my opinions of wicca. All religions have their faults and doubters, but I
have no doubts about my opinions of wicca. :-)


I wonder what the Book of Bokonon has to
say about all that...


Wasn't it supposedly Books (plural) of Bokonon? Anyway, I'm not so sure
all this (wicca) is exactly harmless untruths.
