I wonder if this bothers atheists.

Does is bother anyone when I write, “blessed be�? because it is like saying god bless you or goddess bless. No one has cared about it. So, wiccans are more liked than other religious people.

What if a Christian/Muslim/Jew (evil person) wrote god bless you, you would insult him, wouldn’t you?

And don’t criticize me for this, because all of you atheists bash monotheistic religions a lot too.So, you can’t say that it is wrong if I bash them.
You can’t be hypocrites!

Atheism would be popular if:

-There were an atheist symbol
-magick was added, people adore magick.

Blessed be,

Currently, atheists oppose Wicca less than they oppose the monotheistic religions. However, you, truthie, may bring about a change in this trend.

[insult deleted] or just has growing up to do? For the life of me I can’t decide.

It's not your "blessed be" that bothers me. It's your proselytization of Wicca, complete with glaring innacuracies that I find annoying. Especially since I also moderate ~Elsewhere~.

Please back up this claim.

Oh. That's right. You can't.

Thus crumbles your argument.

Atheism is popular because:

-There are no gods.
-Atheists don't believe in gods.

It's not rocket science.

And if someone told me "Blessing of Mighty Zeus/Invisible Pink Unicorn/Quetzalcoatl be upon you" ?

It would make me smile, and I appreciate the sentiment, but beyond that...so what?

Also, I don't see why I need to be represented by a symbol. I'd prefer it if people actually got to know me and my opinions as opposed to glancing at the symbol on my person or website and drawing conclusions from it.

And I would have to dispute your casual "people adore magick" because not everybody does. In fact, a lot of people I know think magick is a synonym for "Bullshit", and so far haven't seen any evidence to convince them otherwise.


P.S. I would be interested to hear your reply to criticisms of your recent Argumentum ad numeram in this post.

Why should it?
I routinely ignore signatures, most don't even register with me.
I don't particularly like insulting people personally, not even by calling them "evil", solely based on what they believe.
I am an atheist, and I don't bash monotheistic religions in general, in fact, I value my Roman Catholic cultural heritage. I just don't believe in god.
Rallying around a symbol instead of an idea is the mark of a cult in my opinion.
...unless they think it is silly.

Do you normally regard all Christians, all Muslims and all Jews as evil people, truthie?

I think it should be a puppy. Or Justin Timberlake.

Hey, yeah! There's an idea!

Here's a better one: Maybe we should add Jesus to it. Jesus is more popular than 'magick,' I bet.

On that note, I think you should start spelling magic with two Ks and a scribal E. Like this: Magikke. Or a Q, like this: Magiq. And maybe you could add an umlaut or two to make it seem even more awesöme.

What would be really awesome is yelling "Lumos!" and *poof!* having one's wand light up.
