NEW PALTZ, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — At a time when participation in traditional religions is declining among Americans, the practice of witchcraft is said to be on the rise.

CBS2’s Ali Bauman went inside the secret world of modern-day witches to explore why so many say they’re falling under its spell.
 (Creepy Video)
...
“To be a witch is incredibly relevant in today’s society,” Anton Stewart explained.

I used to think like that. That things like this were disturbing. Not saying I am better than other people. There are things in my life I have to still answer for. But I am past the point where I would say, "WOW, I could've had a V8!"

FWIW, these people think they can make do with a Slant-666.

As a mini thread hijack, I bought a Slant-6 Forest Service pickup in sealed bid auction when I was in high school for $131. Started fixing it up. Was out cruising Main with a friend one Friday evening and a Statey pulled me over. He said you have no tail lights. What? So I'm under the backend fiddling and get them back on. He said that is great but your DL is expired. I said it doesn't expire for two weeks on my b-day. He said it expired LAST year. On your birthday. Here's your sign.  :police:

"Christ is Love"...

and yet, I've also found that Wicca are some of the most loving people I've known.

But, the point is that anything that is substituted for God or creates distance between us and our Creator is forbidden to us.

I really don't care. I think this is what is so great about America. People have the right to choose their own faith.

Um, ok, but where I have I said otherwise?   Remember, just because I'm a believer doesn't mean my opinions are worth any less than you think yours are.

You really don't care? Then keep it to yourself.

Glad to know you aren't a patriot.

Of that I have no doubt. The road to hell is paved with good Wiccans. Seriously. Anyone who can cast so concretely.

I grew up learning to cast in the side yard with a cheap rod & reel, and some lead weights.  I never could get the hang of it.  I'll bet if I ever learned from you it would be a different story, I could even do flies.

@roamer_1

So you have been stuck at home since early last summer because you can't pass a written driver's test?  Is that right?  You have to walk to go somewhere?  Since early last summer until sometime before Christmas is a looong time.  Maybe you should study. You can read, right?  :thud:

Still mostly have laryngitis, can barely talk beyond a whisper. Coughing up the world, over and over. Hope I can sleep tonight without coughing constantly.  Hope you don't get this.

I think the biggest problem is he can't get a stoopit fishing license without the Drivers License.  Dumbest GD State thing I've ever heard of.  Doesn't need to drive all that much.
