      As a very witchy dude, what makes you non witchy? You’re here, that indicates some kind of spirit of rebellion and that’s like half of it

        what makes you non witchy?

        An extreme dislike of spirituality, magical thinking, and all other forms of anti-science/intellectualism.

          Aside from the spirituality part I think you misunderstand what modern witchcraft means. I’m really not the best person to explain it, what being two joints deep and trying to fall asleep. For me it’s mostly an excuse to mark the seasons, sing songs, pick flowers, and cook food for my friends.

            You don’t need to be attached to a subculture that encourages astrology and crystal healing for that.

              Sir, this is Witchy Memes. You don’t need to vent about your ex in the comments lol

              It seems like you guys are always the ones bringing up crystals when anyone mentions something remotely pagan. If you don’t like it, don’t engage. Couldn’t be simpler.

    After working with schizophrenia patients for a few years, I can genuinely say that there’s a good chance that’s the case with her. Thinking ordinary things are the devil, hyper-religiosity, and magical thinking are big signs.

        I don’t think christians consider mormons to be christian. They’re non-trinitarian if I’m not mistaken, and that’s a doctrinal disqualification by definition for most ecumenical traditions.

          As someone who was raised Mormon, the trinity was very much a thing. They don’t call it the trinity, but god the father, Jesus the son and the holy spirit were all big in that cult.

          Correct: Mormons consider themselves as Christian while mainstream Christianity considers Mormonism a cult.

          Of course so many divisions are like that - Catholicism considers Protestant denominations as not valid, and vice versa, etc.

            “No, my interpretation of scripture and tradition is the only one that’s valid; and the God of all the Universe who existed before time, language, and culture is going to be verrryy angry at anyone who doesn’t unquestioningly believe and obey everything that I say that God says!”

            -Most Christian denominations, and most Abrahamic religions, for that matter.

            If only one can be right, you might as well hedge your bets with Eastern Orthodox because they’re closest to the original. They also tend to be a bit more enlightened about multiculturalism, tolerance, and love for humanity.

            Me, though, I’m a nihilist. I believe in nothing, lebowski
