I deleted what I don't personally beleive in. But I beleive that witchcraft is real...(Even if most of it tends to lean towards the immoral...)


Most of what I've dealt with hasn't been immoral, though there are many spells out there for such ends. Makes me sad, and gives me a bad name.

Also, "Qi" and "Chi" are the same things...they're just spelled differently due to two different romanization methods for Chinese. "Ki" is the Japanese version of the same thing. Do we need all of them listed?

Exactly and human nature is to abuse power therefore with stuff like that where abuse is easy the practitionors lean towards the immoral. As a majority...
And I was wondering about the Qi Chi thing...guess I was right...

Check 22, my friend. You said human nature is to abuse power. That implies using it wrong, which means you either have a conception of true right and wrong uses of power from other humans, or God told you. And you are a Deist, so he wouldn't. What's your explanation?

No abuse=Using power illogically for illogical reasons to reach illogical ends by an illogical means.

Logical for what? What make logic moral and moral logic?

I love me some o'that logic logic...wtf?

Anyway, I thought Deism covered anything with a supreme deity, the way Animism covered anything that believed in each thing having a spirit? Please clarify, if you don't mind, I'm weak on philosophical vocabulary.

Deism is the belief that there is a supreme diety of some sort. They use Logic and Reason. The main slogan is: God gave us Reason not Religion. They do not beleive that God would reveal his word in stupid little books so the people who made them would profit and corrupt the world as you have seen many of them do. They use Logic and Reason to figure out the right from the wrong.
Notable Deist: Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine, John Locke.

Summer is the Eternal Burning Times, persecutor of the gothic-clothes-wearing, irished-skinned Wiccan.

Yep, except for me! For some reason, I got my Swedish grandmother's pale-a** skin (I used to get sent to the nurse's office for looking pale a few times a year), plus my French-African great-great-grandmother's complete inability to be sunburned. Living proof that dark skin does not go hand in hand with sun invulnerability. If I was a vampire, I could conquer the world. wink

And Frau Nazi thanks you for humoring her.

@Azana: Thank you for knowing this! I've had more arguments from people who think that Qi, Chi, and Ki are all different...I keep telling them to take language classes, but they never listen. gonk
