I posted an answer that offended a wiccan, and she threatened to turn me in to the yahoo authorities, saying they would censor me. It seems to me that if she believed in what she professes she would not have to whimper to Yahoo, she would cast a spell to make me accept her beliefs, or at least stop me from challenging them. Funny how some people who cherish their own freedom of speech try to censor others, and in the process expose themselves as hypocrites.

How dare you offend a wiccan and make her go to Yahoo for back up! Don't you know that in the age of diversity you are supposed to believe and accept everything except Christianity? You better not do it again or she will put a spell on you even spell check can't correct. INFIDEL!!!

Have you even been paying attention to what Wiccans say? Or are you just ignoring it and twisting it to suit your own needs?
No Wiccan would ever cast a spell for that reason. See, there's something called the Harm None law. And if we disobey that by casting a spell on you to force you to do something against your will, then we'll suffer the consequences.
Contrary to the closed minded attitude and completely uneducated mentality that you're showing, Wiccans are NOT evil.
See, whereas a Christian will try to force a person to do what they want, a Wiccan won't. We'll appeal to the secular authorities rather than taking things into our own hands. Wish the Christians would learn to do that too.

Well la dee da. You must feel very holier-than-thou right now.
I real wiccan which I can only assume she was would not "cast a spell" against your will, but she is within her rights to report you to Y!A if you were offensive in your answer earlier to her.
Stop worrying about others beliefs and/or power and mind yourself.
The most likely people on Y!A to want people censored who do not believe the same as them are not wiccans. I think you know who they are.
Edit: Your previous answer:
"If you believe in that evil crap to start with you better use the color the spell book calls for. That way when you go to hell for it the other demons won't be so mad at you."
I would have reported you too. If you don't have an answer to the question being asked, then don't interject your unwanted 2 cents.

i stumble on this situation to in basic terms be in demand interior the U.S. i'm a former Wiccan, now repentant Christian, myself. My Pagan call substitute into purple non violent Wolf. As the two a former Wiccan of 8 years and a Christian at present day i think of my testimony would desire to be keen approximately something greater advantageous than a grain of salt. the project is particularly particularly ordinary: Wiccans and Christians don t believe the comparable issues. Asking a question like it somewhat is like asking "why does a Muslim think of that Christians at the instant are not worshipping the only real God"? the respond would desire to be particularly glaring: Muslims believe the Quran is the completely Divine inspired word of Allah and that the hot testomony is religious folklore. Christians believe quite lots the suitable opposite. A Wiccan doesn t base their ideals on a single scriptural textual content fabric, yet there are texts that Wiccan use to assist improve their theology, usually written with the aid of different Pagans or different Wiccans. The Christian believes that what the Bible says is real, the Wiccan would not believe the words of the Bible. I don t understand how else to spell it out. Christians believe that the devil is a actual entity, a diverse unseen character banished from the throne room of God to inhabits this earth and cursed to wander "searching for whom he would consume" with the aid of deceiving. The devil is observed as "The Prince of Lies" in a pair of Bible verses. The Wiccan would not have a thought in any character prevalent as devil. To the Christian this disbelief in devil is area of the devil s deception at artwork. A Wiccan would not believe that they are being deceived with the aid of any character prevalent as devil or the devil, because of the fact they don't believe that one in all those being exists.

It sounds like this one does. Generally speaking, a real wiccan believes in the power of the Goddess and how she can help them - plus wiccans do not cast spells to bring evil on other people - "And it harm none, do as ye will" is a wiccan proverb that basically means as long as what you are doing doesn't cause harm to yourself or anyone else go for it - a basic rule of thumb in wicca is that whatever you send out comes back threefold, so if she cursed you, she'll will receive three times as much negative energy back on herself.

Wiccans such as you were talking with probably believe in the power to cast spells as such BUT Wicca is a spiritual path before it is a Houdini energetics light show. As a spiritual path a Wiccan spell is very similar to Christian prayer.
Additionally the Wiccan you're refering to probably believes in the "three-fold" rule which means that she cannot use magick or negative energy to punish anyone lest that negative energy come back to her three times over (like karma).
I don't think you actually wanted a serious answer. I think you just wanted a soap box, but have fun anyway!

Yes, Wiccans believe in their own powers. However, they don't believe in forcing others into their beliefs, and wouldn't do something as frivolous as casting a spell to do so. Wiccans are good people, a lot less hypocritical than many other members of other religions.

Yes they do, but that power does not include casting spells to make people do things against their will. The wiccan rede is something along the line of do what you will and harm none. That doesn't mean that witches won't protect themselves from harm or turn someones negativity back to them.

Maybe you need to educate yourself a little more about Wiccans. They do not claim to have any more "power" than you or I have. Their beliefs are also alot more logical that most other religions.
Most Wiccans will spread peace instead of the nasty remarks that most christians or others like yourself do!
Maybe you were offensive to the other wiccan who reported you, just as you are offensive to all other Wiccans on this site!
PS. I am not Wiccan, i am deist! And I love Wiccans!

Actually, if she had threatened to hex you, THEN she'd be a hypocrit.
And THIS: "If you believe in that evil crap to start with you better use the color the spell book calls for. That way when you go to hell for it the other demons won't be so mad at you."
Certainly won't win you any sympathy points.
If you can't answer the question asked, then MOVE ON.
