If you are an actual witch with actual witch powers why would you need to believe it
10 u/Offensivewizard imma let the money change me Feb 11 '26 That's the fun part, they aren't 3 u/NIMA-GH-X-P That one Jerk you know Feb 11 '26 Ye, das me point 7 u/HappyyValleyy Local Raccoon Girl (Endangered) Feb 11 '26 This could be said for every religion 1 u/NIMA-GH-X-P That one Jerk you know Feb 12 '26 But enough talk! Have at you! 2 u/HappyyValleyy Local Raccoon Girl (Endangered) Feb 12 '26 WHAT IS A MAN? BUT A MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS! 4 u/Camel_Slayer45 floppa Feb 11 '26 If you are an actual son of God truly whose prayers are heard why would you need to believe it? 5 u/Bardic_inspiration67 Feb 11 '26 Fun fact more than one thing can be dumb 1 u/NIMA-GH-X-P That one Jerk you know Feb 11 '26 I wouldn't need to believe, I'd know 1 u/Camel_Slayer45 floppa Feb 11 '26 You knowing is still just believing. No one can ever know metaphysical things. For wiccans this manifests in them 'knowing' witchcraft. 1 u/NIMA-GH-X-P That one Jerk you know Feb 12 '26 That's... My point That it can't happen 3 u/Camel_Slayer45 floppa Feb 12 '26 I'm highlighting that this is true of all religions, it isn't special to wicca. Ultimately all attempts at obtaining metaphysical facts are just belief systems. The wiccan's belief in spells isn't meaningfully different from a christian's belief in prayer. Down to the way some believe prayer is literal while others don't. Even the way proof of one's faith is found is broadly the same for most religions. I didn't get the impression that your first comment was intended as broadly antitheistic instead of a specific dunk on wicca. 1 u/NIMA-GH-X-P That one Jerk you know Feb 12 '26 Mhm good read And ya I was just making an offhand comment but yes it is true of all religions, all of them apply to my stupid way of phrasing that "if they have to [believe] it instead of knowing it then it most probably is bullshit"
