Don't, please. It's not fucking worth it lmao.

I don't know if it's obvious to everyone but certain people, but I actually basically told you guys to screw off when u demanded I tell you more about my faith/prove it existed so you could judge it, or say it was fake, or mock it. I never tried to prove my faith was real, I never intended to, and I don't care to contemplate it. I don't have to. I'm fairly comfortable in who I am. All I am doing is engaging in conversation, answering questions, and now trying to stop people from giving into flame baiting.

None of this is worth it.

Sorry dude, I should probably cool it with the more incendiary jokes lol

What the fuck is 'the left hand path' and what is hexing and cursing at minors? Why is cursing more concerning than usual? When I read "cursing minors" I imagine a cranky old man cursing at kids and telling them to get off their front lawn.

Going to redirect stuff here before I have this thread closed. If you're genuinelyh curious about or interested witchcraft, or occultism, and have any questions, or want to share with the class something you found on some occultist... feel free. If you're gonna carry this thread drama over there, I'd rather you not, and I'm pretty sure that feeling is universal (And if it's not for you you're the person to which that "I'd rather you not" was aimed at)

Last I heard, they were trying for Macaulay Culkin, a very brave choice to go for someone who may not have ever touched a football before

Culkin does look like the Chupacabras as an adult, just saying. He has that going on for him.

You wish to have the curse reversed?
I'll need a certain potion first
Go to the wood and bring me back:
One: the cow as white as milk
Two: the cape as red as blood
Three: the hair as yellow as corn
Four: the slipper as pure as gold
Bring me these before the chime
Of midnight in three days' time
And you shall have I guarantee
A child as perfect as child can be
Go to the wood!

That did not end well. Happily never after.

Oooh boy. This was a train wreck from insufficient opening post to 18 page finish.

Let's get the easy ones outta the way.

A lackluster opening post doesn't mean spamming is okay. When you spot an insufficient thread OP, go report it so it can be locked before a mod has to spend an hour trawling the resulting trainwreck.

And on to... hoo boy. We're going to break this one down in depth.

Welcome (back) to Nationstates. There are no sacred cows here. If you want to show up arguing something well outside of the norm, you had better be ready to respond to criticism and defend your points.

Bluepillar wrote:What Im.getting at is that people might want to learn to stay on topic, and can pent their global fedora endeavor on 4chan with the rest of the joyless people.

You are not a moderator and are not the one to be issuing troll-flavored demands that people 'stay on topic' when you're the one who failed to provide an adequate opening post of discussion, dooming your thread to go careening off the rails for want of direction in the first place.

Bluepillar wrote:Woaaah. So much for "a stupid discussion with no complexity behind it" talked about by the one with the red fedora fantasy.
Bluepillar wrote:Imagine the arrogance of calling someone pompous and then demanding they prove the existence of their religion, or faith, or whatever to an outsider . You can go play those games with someone else. The rest of this was way too much to read, and I'm not even going to bother lolol

I never asked you to believe it was real. I asked you if hexing/cursing minors was okay. Now, since you broke the rules of my thread, I'm going to ask you to stop talking to me and hopefully go bother someone else.
Bluepillar wrote:Some of you guys need therapy.

I see my colleague already loomed ominously at you for this, but let me explain further. This? This is flaming/flamebaiting. This is not how we respond to people we don't agree with. Sadly, it seems the message didn't take.

Bluepillar wrote:I suggest a book or two, preferably on this subject so that when you come back I can speak to you like you're an adult, and not someone that bases their entire world view and personality off of what their mother told them, or, you know, what they don't know.

If you don't want to deal with your beliefs being questioned or argued, get a blog. Thread stays locked.

If you want to discuss occultism, that's fine. But you can't just go "Google <thing>! I'm not going to explain it!" or attacking people who approach your opinions with skepticism. This is a DEBATE forum, your opinions will be debated, sometimes fiercely. Your refusal to do so contributed far more to this flimsy thread going off into a ditch far more than any of your detractors' posts trying to discuss your occult beliefs did.
