Then say it directly.
I’m more than happy to debate with someone, if they’re respectful. Playing coward by doing what you did isn’t respectful.

You are way too argumentative, it’s not up for debate. You got offended that someone compared Wicca to Satanism, then turned around and attacked Christianity as a faith built on lies. That’s hypocrisy. Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.
I don’t need or want your respect. This is a video game, we’ll never meet in real life.
edit: The reason I did not call you out by name, is that the Forum CoC forbids it. Gotta play by the rules
No, I didn’t get offended, what I said is that it is offensive to wiccans to compare the religion to satanism. I informed, I was not angry.
Which it is.
That’s just an undeniable fact.
Adam and Eve? Fiction, we know how humans evolved and they didn’t come from a single man and woman living in a fictional garden.
Noah’s Ark? Fiction, we know that by the time Noah built his arc, the Ice Age had already ended and there were multiple continents (like Australia) that had native fauna that couldn’t have gotten onto the Ark and survived the ‘great flood’ and yet, we can trace those animals back thousands and thousands of years to the megafauna that preceded them.
Moses? Fiction, there is zero archaeological or written evidence outside of the Bible that the various plagues that tormented Egypt in the tales actually happened. There is also no evidence supporting the idea that a significant portion of the army of the Pharoah was drowned after Moses parted the seas.
And then there are the holidays. Easter? Invented by the Romans to bring pagans from the Germanic tribes into their faith. At the exact same time that Easter is held, there were/are festivals held in what was then Germania to the fertility goddess Eostre. Her symbol, as a fertility goddess, was the hare, and it was common during her festivals for individuals to gift brightly coloured eggs to each other. That’s where the Easter Bunny comes from, that’s where the chocolate eggs come from.
Likewise with Christmas, it was invented by the Romans. It was created to bring multiple pagan faiths under the Christian religion, because at the same time that Romans started celebrating Christmas, they also celebrated Saturnalia and held a festival known as ‘dies natalis solis invicti’ which means ‘birthday of the unconquered sun’. They also took on traditions of other pagan tribes which existed in their northern territories, namely Yule, which again was celebrated by the Germanic people (where the concept of singing Christmas Carols and burning the Yule Log comes from), although there is one original thing they didn’t pinch, and that was Santa, who was based on the Christian Bishop, Saint Nicholas.
So when you celebrate Christmas as the day that Jesus Christ was born, well, there’s no evidence supporting that he was born then. Likewise when you revere Easter as the day that Jesus Christ was killed, and raised again, there’s zero evidence supporting that he died on that day, or was raised three days later.
And if you really want to look at historical records, look at the status of Christianity within the Roman Empire before the reign of Emperor Constantine. It was viewed as a dangerous, violent cult, and it was considered illegal to worship that faith. It wasn’t until the leader of the Roman Empire converted to Christianity that it was able to be practiced legally, and over time it became the dominant religion, which it remains today thanks to the reach the Roman Empire had during its prime.
If you can’t take criticism of your faith, don’t mock or criticize others. That’s all I am gonna say, I bid you adieu, you are dismissed.
I can take criticism of my faith though. Never claimed I couldn’t. Wiccan and Paganism has a very dark history, I will not pretend otherwise. Ancient pagan rituals often involved animal, and in certain cultures, human sacrifice. It was a very dark period of history. I will not pretend that these things didn’t happen.
Again I was not offended when someone compared Wicca to Satanism, I simply informed him that doing so is offensive to wiccans. There is a difference between informing and being outraged.
They are exactly the same. Wiccanism = satanism. I find it hilarious that anyone claims to be educated enough to “debate” a topic while subscribing to a silly cult superstition that is completely based on lies.
Hail Satan.
Sorry but this is false.
LOL no, it’s not.
I have no interest in being your teacher for today. What you think you know is none of my business, bro.

You have no qualifications to be anyone’s teacher.
You have no qualifications to be presenting misinformation to people online but hey, that isn’t stopping you. Stay golden.
The only one spreading misinformation is you, and Carhagen, but you go on and believe your silly little myths if it makes you feel better.
Here are a few rules to live by that could assist you in your life as you move forward.
Wizard’s First Rule:
“People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they’re afraid it might be true. Peoples’ heads are full of knowledge, facts and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”
Wizard’s Second Rule:
"The Second Rule is that the greatest harm can result from the best intentions.
Wizard’s Third Rule:
“Passion rules reason.”
Jesus please save me a sinner
I don’t even know if salvation is in the cards for me I guess it might be or might not

I support this message.
I love Satan and Satan loves me.
“For Satan so loved the world that he liberated humanity from the bondage of Holy Ignorance; burning our chains away with Flames of Forbidden Knowledge, and he taught us to be formidable – even without the claws and fangs of our fellow animals – that no mystery should ever exist beyond our reach, and that no being should ever lord over us or deprive us of our own Will.” – Abaddon 3:16
“The first step in solving a problem is recognizing there is one.”
