I think you're better. I don't mind religion, as long as it doesn't get in the way of science and the pursuit of knowledge. I love Wicca because it's the most tolerant religion I can think of (besides Paganism). It does however sicken me when people refuse to accept certain possibilities and condemn those who do. (Just look at Galileo.)

Not an athiest here! However ...
You are wise to examine your beliefs! For only by examination and true Faith, shall we know the truth!
My line of faith is Christian! But in reality, does this really matter? Yes? No? Maybe?
You answer here!
You, at least, believe in the possibility of a greater being! This (again IMHO) is a plus to your favor! You believe in something!
First, know that Christians are not 'stupid'. We only believe by faith! You, have faith in a higher being (by your own words)! And that is good!
You need to study ALL religions (as we all should) and decide which is most powerful, which is right for you (us)!
IMHO, You are on a correct path! Continue your studies!

I’m a pagan too, but I don’t believe in anything supernatural. All things are natural and “supernatural” is what people call things they don’t understand. For instance I believe in the existence of many universes and those who dwell there are “angels”, but its all completely natural and can be explained mathematically. I too don’t understand why so many fundamentally reject the idea of a “higher power”. If you have another dimension (cutting-edge quantum physics suggests they exist), and beings live there (as they do in this one), and they’re super intelligent, then what are they if not “higher powers”?

Sry bro but i would have to say just as ignorant, not trying to put you down. Just there being magic in the world would have to be just as stupid as there being an all-knowing superior being up in the sky. but yes all knowledge should be studied i haven't really looked into pagan beliefs, so i guess thats another thing to add to the to do list.
by the way someone asked some question about muslims and the quran, and i got reported bc apparently saying "hey man, if you aint muslim you aint shiite" isn't an answer nor a question.

Well, I don't want to be blunt or offensive, but you asked for it. I think you're more stupid than the Christians. At least they have an excuse for being Christians (being brainwashed at young age or being it the mainstream religion), but you just chose peganism (unless you grew up a pagan. in which case I would think you're just as stupid).

I have no opinion for or against other systems of belief that have never posed a problem for others. Christians generally hear the most in our society because of what has been done and imposed on people past and present sometimes.

I don't think a religion determines whether you are stupid or not, or even whether one is misguided or not. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, and I may think some of those beliefs aren't all that plausible, but unless I am provoked, I will not criticize those beliefs.

I applaud that you have a more open mind than Bible believers who deny science. I challenge you to require evidence before you believe in any claim about magic, and especially to not continue to believe in something for which there is contrary evidence.
Wishing something were true does not make it so.

I don't think you are stupid at all. On the contrary, I would like to know more about your beliefs. I think that all beliefs have something to offer, whether I can share them or not.

Believing in many gods makes more sense to me that only one god. I do not believe in supreme beings, but there is a higher power, it just doesn't have a human heart or mind. It does not offer any salvation. It just is.
