It kinda makes sense for then to believe in bullshit, given their track record or stupidity.

But a witch is a witch, not a person pretending to be a witch.

It makes me feel like going all Salvor Hardin and founding the Church of Scientism.

If the sheep won't do what's best for them, then it's time to make them do what's best for them.

is it pretending if they believe it themselves?

Well, no, but I still wouldn't call them authentic witches. Their witchcraft doesn't actually do what it's supposed to do.

Close minded to bind ourselves to only this dimensional reality that we live in, in this multi-dimensional universe.

How could you unbind yourself from this universe?

Meditation, near-death experience, but really easiest way would be to try some DMT.

>> No.3997799

>>3997764
Nope. All of those experiences are within the confines of this universe. Getting high and hallucinating doesn't do shit except change your experience momentarily. Deal with it.

>Astrology, or that the position of the stars and planets can affect people's lives
But... of course the position of the stars and planets affect our lives. That's not paranormal in the slightest. Just imagine if Saturn was half an inch from the earth, say. Or that VY Canis Majoris was where Pluto is now.

Amerifag here. You can all fuck off. Just because your backwards-ass country won't let you believe in anything doesn't mean we're retarded. It means you're minds are caged by unprincipled and stupid men. I love freedom, and you shouldn't be jealous; you should man the fuck up, fight your own god damn revolution, so we don't have to hear about what beliefs your dictator banned this week. JESUS

>>3997698
Sounds pretty unamerican. I know you think you could handle the task well, but I don't, I think you are an arrogant cuntbag. The idea is that a government shouldn't try to make its people 'better.' again, JESUS, hasn't anyone seen firefly? pic related, try and tell him what to believe!

Yup

8 years of Jesuit school and never once was creationism mentioned. Religion class was more mythology than theology. At no point during my religious education was there an imperative that we believe what we were taught, lest we burn in hell. The monks and nuns were amazingly easygoing and superbly educated.

Monseigneur has a MS in marine biology, strangely enough. Another of note had a MS in Mathematics. We had a BS astronomer as one of our science monks. Only one nun had a degree in theology, that's it.

Maybe it's just my experience with the Catholics, but they seem pretty easygoing on these things.

Talk of creationism, ghosts, pseudoscience, etc. was quickly corrected.

That's the beauty of it, "Separation of church and state".

Also, why in the name of the Holy Galaxy do you assume that the goals of the Church of Scientism would be good for america?

Also, so what if it's un-american? Democracy is dead, long live the shepherds who lead the sheeples.
