> [@BigT](#): > > And I don’t really see why the OP deserved to be attacked because she was mad that people misunderstood her religion. “Her” religion"? The people about which she was complaining had as much right to make shit up as she did. They simply didn’t comply with her particular group consensus about her make-believe - they complied with their own particular group consensus. That’s what makes the dogmatic aspects of the OP (and indeed of all religion) so lame. None of it is referable to anything other than some shit someone made up, yet they go on about it as if it has some immutable objective basis. If you ask me it’s all just in-group pecking order maintenance anyway - in reality the OP was just doing the equivalent of “virtue signalling” - ie “I’m sooo more Wiccan than them; I do real forest sitting and shit and they don’t, how dare they pretend to be at my level”. ---

I respect others’ belief systems. I have a very close friend who is a Wiccan and also briefly dated one when I was in my 20s. What I know about their beliefs is very positive and I have seen it do good for believers. I do however have trouble biting my tongue when I see adherents get haughty about how “ancient” their religion is, since it was founded in the 1950s. That’s the only problem I have with it. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > Even I know that Wicca is not about pretending to be witches. It is an attempt to revive a pre-Christian religion. Granted, I think they’re factually wrong, but it’s clearly not about trying to become Samantha from Bewitched. Except that, back in the 90s, it was exactly this for far too many of them. I was there, I saw it myself. I still suffer from the eye-roll induced trauma! ---

Would somebody kindly volunteer to adopt my current earworm of this thread title set to the tune of “Camptown Races”? Thankyouverymuch. (people should really be more careful about that when making up thread titles) ---

It’s actually having a bit of a revival in the UK lately, after channel 4 bought the rights to it and a bunch of other late 90s/early 2000s US shows- so… me, at the moment, actually. So far I’ve fought off the temptation to start burning random herbs and chanting bollocks in made-up languages or attempts to summon demons though. ---

I respect anyone’s right to believe anything they want as long as I’m not required to differentiate between Q, Buddhism, the Roman Lutheran Church, pastafarism or whatever woo floats your boat. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poser-wiccans-piss-me-off/93452.md?page=7)
