Teacher Fired for Magic Trick

Reminds me of a quote from "Jesus camp"

"and let me just say something about Harry Potter...
Warlocks are an enemy of God, and I don't care what kinda hero they are, they are an enemy of God and if it were in the old testament, Harry Potter woulda been put to death!!!" *applause*

Ummm lady.. Harry potter is a book, and you actually believe in Warlocks with wands and magic spells? Not only that Voldermort represents the devil and Harry represents the light you dumbass, people like you nailed Jesus to a cross yet you say you worship him and aspire to be like him. She is judging someone not based on actions, but based on the powers they received from God without choice? What about Jesus? He turned water to wine. Jesus was a warlock if ever there was one.. *sigh*

Jesus, dude was God on earth, in human flesh. He was no warlock.
Sorry but it appears you know far less about a common subject (Christianity) than that woman about a niche interest called Wizardry. Have you
looked up the word "hypocrisy" in the dictionary yet?

While the quote you gave is quite ridiculous, many people do find problems with Happy Pothead and his magick in the way it uses numerous real
references to witchcraft (which is connected with Satanism).
There are also issues of GOOD magick and bad magick and how one can
use the one against the other. Fair enough, who cares right?
Well some people do because it's their belief both forms of magick
come from unclean sources - ie the Devil.

As for me, someone who's never seen a Happy Pothead movie, I think they're
just films kids and pedophiles enjoy :) --- only kidding :).
 
I think a lot of problems would be solved if they didnt allow religious folk to vote. Think about it.. there would have being no Bush! :D hehe

Muslims believe in shaving the pubic region to keep clean, or so I was told by many Muslim folks. No offence to anyone Muslim who reads all the drivel posted on MyADSL. :)
 
Wow, talk about off topic...

I'll explain it to you. Wizard (in leet) was saying that he thought religious
people shouldn't vote, hence there would be no BUSH. Now BUSH is also
slang for -- gee pubic hair. Since Muslims are considered religious, there
still would be NO BUSH with them around because of the reason I gave
in my reply. Now -- get it? :)

I got 2 muslim ladies working for me at the office.
I have to look at them on Monday...

is that a reference to what the nutters think or your view? Is all witchcraft automatically connected to satanism for you?

Just curious.
 
The assistant superintendent with the district said Piculas had other issues, like not following lesson plans and allowing students to play on unapproved computers.
We can't have teachers making their lessons different or interesting. That might lead to students enjoying their classes and everyone knows you can't be learning if you're having fun.

However if these other issues were really considered serious they would not have even mentioned the idiotic nonsense about wizardry.

Religious people would contend so. A connection to satanism does not have to be explicit (as in we worship Satan) but it can also be implicit (we believe there is a dark force whom we respect or we occasionally draw insight from or whatever etc). Think hard about this concept of explicit belief and implicit belief, its similar to the Catholic Church believing in the idea of an implicit belief in Christ where many people don't actively believe in a man on the cross with a beard but do believe and strive to be good and follow Christ's
teachings and so on....

Me I don't go for magick and the rest however I'll happily watch an anime series where magic is used because the people
who use this magic use it only as a plot device and not the end in itself, and fundamentally also the people who
write the stories are Eastern and either Shinto or Buddhist and do not subscribe in their own minds to Satan etc,
ie its a fantasy for them the way I could write a story about 7 Samurai and their adventures with a Shinto Shrine Maiden
and a Shinto goddess. People doing magick however come from the West and derived much of their insight from
Christianity directly or indirectly. Just my 2c.

The woman in this article however would be called nuts by anyone sensible, you should print this article out and find
say a Catholic Priest/Anglican/Methodist Minister/Vicar and have a laugh with him about it.

I think a lot of the rap many Christian groups get is because they take the Bible verbatim in every instance, even though the Bible had many translators and has many official versions and many of the texts are meant to be interpreted in a particular way.

What about white/black witches. I don't mean like racist white/black, but the practice.:)

Tnx for your insight, though. :)

I think if it involves some sort of respect for dark forces or
involves belief that power can be derived from sources other than GOD,
it would be frowned upon by religious people.

The answer above is incomplete. After all the devil also has some
power however Christian churches believe that any power(insight)
outside of God's own is not pure and it would be an insult to
God to make use of that power, or that insight etc.

Note I'm not a theologian. :)

You should read a classic book by a Soviet writer called Bulhakov
called "Master and Margarita" while the book deals a lot with Stalinst
barbarism and corruption, it does also deal with religion in a very
philosophical way. It's available for free on the web in English.

Seeing as some people can't just keep their STUPID religious views out of this topic, could we perhaps move this whole ****ing thing to the appropriate forum?
 
LOL, classic. I wonder if he turned anyone into a Newt.

A newt I hear you say, Dont worry he got better
 
reading the comments i think to my self. what the hell is wrong with you guys. Magic, witchs and wizards...MIDDLE AGES!!!! where Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords was a basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power did not derive from a mandate from the masses, but from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

How is that possible when Wicca was around before Christianity?
 
"Jesus, dude was God on earth, in human flesh. He was no warlock."

*SIGH* wow... You going slightly off topic, but here goes..

says who? A book somebody wrote? Your church?
I have said this before and I will say it again, Christianity does not own Jesus. so you do not have a say thats worth more than anyone else on the subject of Jesus.

Muslims and others believe Jesus was infact NOT God, and simply a prophet, many more don't even believe he existed, or that he was simply a man. The majority isn't behind you on this. anyway, he was murdered because he said he was God or the son of God, and was also murdered for basically being EVIL and against God (ie - supporting the devil). He was also killed because he could supposedly do things that only a warlock could do right? If "magic" is all evil, then Jesus was evil. You seperate miracles from magic whenever it suits your purpose. Nice..

This is my opinion. I believe he was a prophet, he was a man, he was God as all humans and everything else in the universe is part of God, and I believe the only thing that made him special is his enlightenment that allowed him the ability to influence the very fibre of the universe. Jesus is simply what we should aspire to. Anyone can do it as Jesus said over and over and over. But people don't wanna believe that its possible for them to be like him. They want him to be special. Basically you are saying Jesus is evil for suggesting everyone has the ability to perform "magic" or "miracles". Whatever you wanna call them..

The only people who don't like Harry Potter are people who haven't read the harmless, and brilliant books. They only deal with good and evil just as every other major story has. Lord of the rings, star wars etc etc etc. I guess they are all "satanic" too. I have heard that before.. Yet the bible is EXACTLY the same, and you judge it differently.. hmmm...

And its pretty obvious you are very ignorant about satanism..
Satanists may believe in "magic" to SOME extent, hardly waving wands..
Satanists do not beleive in good and evil. They don't believe in God or satan, even though their name suggests they follow satan.. Im sorry for you if it dampens your reason for being such an avid christian, but there is no satan and there is no war between satanists and christianity, except for the fact that christianity promotes guilt and whipping oneself for inevitable "wrong doings and desires" whereas satanism promotes making the best out of your life and enjoying everything you possibly can in abundance.

The only reason Christians have such a distorted perception on satanism is because the church needs to convince its memebers, and others out there, that there is a war to fight, that evil does exist. Its called propoganda and it keeps people in check via fear, aswell as recruiting new members to further extend their influence over our world. Because if they convince you of that, then any human being would choose to fight against the evil that apparently wants to consume the world. Your church is controlling you and you are too blind to see it. Perhaps you shouldn't take their word for anything, and should do some research on your own..

Here are the "commandments" of the church of Satan which is the largest satanic religious sect in the world.

1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.


Now go and read the bible and make comparrisons, then take a look at how many millitary men and woman are christians.. Killer Christians.. And then tell me, which is more of a problem? Christianity or Satanism?

You realise satanism was around long before christianity. Satan is a life force that is present in everything in the universe which is exactly the same idea many people perceive God to be. Hence they are the same idea. They just compete with eachother.

Also, there are a very few sects of satanism that believe satan is infact the true, loving God, and that "God" from the bible is the devil in disguise. They believe the bible is written by the devil to trick everyone into worshipping an evil, jealous, ruthless entity. So you see, these people are doing what they believe to be right for themselves and the world, just like your typical christian. Very few people are going to actually choose to be "evil" if they believe "good" exists, and they are relative, so if one exists the other does too. It seems only the points of view are different. Satanists believe christians are largely igorant and are holding the world back. Kinda like what atheists believe.

Christians renamed the devil in the bible to "Satan" because satanism used to be in competition with christianity, until christianity practically wiped it out for millenia by the above mentioned method.

All those pedophiles and murderers who SAY they are satanists have been proven to infact have acted alone, and have proven to not be associated with satanism at all, and have no knowledge on the subject. They never belonged to a church. They never read satanic texts. They infact were using it all as an excuse. They get applauded by christians when they accept Jesus instead, and they get off easy or are thought of as insane to avoid jail time. Its an easy way out for them.

No satanic ritual murders or large groups of devil worshippers have ever been found to exist or involved in anything in the past like all your churches seem to suggest. Its all BS and the cops and fbi etc have said this many times openly, however you people just refuse to accept this, instead believing your church over facts.

Those few who do believe they are devil worshipers haven't even researched enough into it, to realise that satanists don't beleive in the devil, satanists don't believe in human or animal sacrifice, which is more than I can say for christianity/judaism and most other religions.. They dont understand that all those things are propoganda perpetuated generally in catholic films with no accuracy. symbols like upside down crosses etc have no link to satanism. Satanism is not anti-christianity as you have been led to believe, how could it be seeing as though it was around before christianity? The only reason satanism dislikes christianity is because christianity is hypocritical in their eyes, aswell as the fact that christianity has been trying to destroy them through lies and propoganda for millenia, and they still continue to do so without much criticism.

so in effect christianity and likewise religions have created these so called devil worshipers. Afterall you can't believe in the devil and not God. They are from the same book. Your religion is to blame for creating these people and also for making it such an easy excuse for crimes. They are not satanists. Do some research before you open your mouth. Just like these teenage rebels should do some damn research before skinning dogs and then blaming it on satan because they watched the exorcist and wanna be like "satan" or they are apparently posessed... They are just in a self destructive phase and they are looking to get caught and are looking for shock factor. They also feel more alive when they do things that are considered "evil" by society. In that way they are fully present which is a very pleasing state to be in. Other people have sex with prostitutes, sky dive, drive like maniacs and take drugs in order to get the same effect. What we should be striving for is to be able to get to this state of mind in any situation with no effort.

If you want to find people who really intend to be evil, then lookup "family of God" AKA The Family inc.. The biggest pedophile and wife swapping hippies on the planet. They were never brought to justice even though they raped children all day long, aswell as made child pornography. I can only assume it was because they SAID they were christians and followed the example of Jesus. Nothing could be further from the truth. Evil sobs. They also tortured children to "break them" on camps so that they were easily controlled and used for sexual satisfaction..


anyway, if you wanna read about what the majority of satanic sects REALLY entails, then here is a linky link
