Is isn't true that... just kidding. Had you going didn't I?

The Great Crab - did you read the details? Your answers suggest that you did not.

Again Great Crab you show your inability to understand what I am saying.
If you read my questions and answers you will see that your statement that I bash other beliefs (except for my own) off a little.

Oh of course....last Saturday I was at a party where a young man was wearing a "Satanic" t-shirt and an inverted pentacle pendent (all very trendy). While chatting with him I stared at the pendent, reached over and lifted his pendent to look at as I casually opened my shirt to expose my own smaller and (more tasteful) right side up pentagram. I smiled and patted his pendent and said "Very nice!" He just sputtered, laughed nervously and changed the subject.

Yes, I have. On a few people actually. I joked one time while I was camping with some friends that it was time to get naked and dance around the fire. All females, but I definitely got some classic jaw-dropped stares. ;-) And I normally poke fun at Paganism... Like the redneck jokes? They have plenty for redneck Pagans as well - You might be a redneck Pagan if you use the confederate flag for an altar cloth. =)
And then there's the skit about Christians vs Pagans (Football Game) =) Enjoy

No, but I've always wanted to. When the Mormons or the Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking, I've always wanted to answer the door in my ritual robes, with my athame in one hand and my black cat in the other. Just a little harmless fun.
I find that when it comes to this sort of thing, Pagans fall into two categories -- those who actually have a sense of humor, and those who get all stuffy and pissy about this sort of thing. To the latter, I say lighten up. But, other than the occasional persecution complex, most of us do have a sense of humor and are capable of taking a joke.

definite, I question my ideals. it relatively is how I have been given to the place i'm now spiritually and it relatively is served me nicely. as quickly as I easily have questions, I seek for truthful solutions. i do no longer purely seek for the respond which will make me experience greater appropriate: that negates the factor of thinking. thinking is what led me to bypass away Christianity after long debate. in case you nonetheless question your pagan ideals and can't discover reason to have self belief in pagan gods, then in line with probability your course would not lie interior paganism. On yet another word, please stop telling people you're of the Gardnerian custom. it relatively is easily an initiatiory custom purely. you need to be knowledgeable and initated by making use of a Gardnerian instructor. there is easily no such factor as "self-initiation" as a Gardnerian. i don't be attentive to why you're able to call your self that, regardless of the undeniable fact that it initiatives that image which you're a fraud. you're easily no longer a self-initiated Gardnerian. there's no longer something incorrect with being a non-initiated, non custom-based Wiccan. there is a large number of issues incorrect with claiming labels you haven't any longer earned. you desire to reinforce your faith? Be truthful approximately it.

No, to tell the truth I have never played a trick on anyone using or because of my religion.
Now that is not to saw that I haven't played jokes on people for other reasons!
When I drove cab, I Convinced one of my fellow female drives that she could run the car out of "blinker fluid", if she left her blinkers on. I impressed on her the importance of conserving "blinker fluid", because neither of us new where to fill it. It would be very embarrassing to admit to the mechanic our lack of knowledge.
Well the joke got even better when her fuse when out in her car and her blinkers stopped working. She wrote on the sick call, "OUT OF BLINKER FLUID"

ROTFLMAO, some people here really need to get their heads out of their bottoms.
Poking fun out of our own beliefs (and those others) - sure, why not. If we can't make fun out of our own belief, who can, then?
Btw, how many pagans does it take to change a lightbulb? ;)

Not really.
But one of my fonder memories is standing up to some bullies who wanted me to "prove" I was a witch. By casting a love spell for one of them, of course. My response still makes me smile. ("I'm a witch, not one of the gods!" Complete with contemptuous sneer.)
