I'm asked silly questions about Pagans all the time ....

[kittiepoetrygod]

How do you answer? I mean, some of the things they ask are pretty stupid ... such as:

Can you steal my soul? -- too Which i normally answer, probably, but only every other wednesday on fridays, or Why would i Want your soul?!

Also:

Can you summon demons? -- "I work with you ... another demon would be to much to handle." or "Would you like some proof?"


The sad thing is people actually take me seriously sometimes .... do you get asked these questions or similar ones, and how do you respond?

[loopy]

"Are you going to turn me into a frog?"

Yes, if you keep annoying me.

"Do you work with the devil?"

I'm communicating with him right now. He says you've crossed the line by speaking his name aloud. You will be punished.

"Are you like, evil?"

Duh squared.

[kittiepoetrygod]

Those a pretty funny answers .... some more:

Aren't all Wiccans gay?

Yep, we are all gay. We enjoy doing things naked. Nakeeeeddd. Nakeeddd. *Smacks person's head * No.

"You're gonna cast a spell on me, aren't you ... WICCAN!?!?"

Abra cadabra. Zing!

Are you, like you know ... a ... devil worshipper? *gasp*

You have angered Lucifer with you insistant cannoodling.


BTW ... i only do some of these when the person has no intention of learning. Sometimes perople are just rude.

"Are you a devil worshipper?"

Hah, are you kidding?! I AM the devil...

[Autumn Gemini]

I love the

"Do you worship the Devil???"

No. He's my grandfather....( family joke. My grandfather was an old hillbilly who had a sign on his gate that said This Is Hell! Keep Out! and it was surrounded by animal skulls. He also captured and and handled rattlesnakes for fun.) This usuasally gets folks to leave me alone :)

:rotfl: :rotfl: Oh, I love those answers! :rotfl:

[Myst]

If the person is being open minded and asking questions because they truly want answers I answer to the best of my ability.

Otherwise my standard answer is "Fs(k off or I'll turn you into a toad" until they go away.

Hehe... thaks all, for sharing. Some pretty funny answers to questions we are all asked... I hate it when people ask for love spells, ect... But I never know what to say to them. I usually just say no... Any of you oh so witty people have a sujestion or two? :boing:

[Dagda Moon~Lily]

I just tell them that casting Love spells brings bad karma by trying to take away free will. I ask them to think of someone they would never dream of being with.....then ask them how would they like it if they were "manipulated" to love them and be with them. Most let it drop after that....if some don't I tell them that the connitations from it comes back three fold at them....for better or worse.....and it's usually worse! ....and that they wouldn't know if the person really loved them or was with them because of the spell. I usually tell them that affairs of the heart, are best left to the Goddess, she knows far better than I the path that is destined.

Yes we all know thats true!!!!;)

[SimplyStrange]

Most people don't ask me silly questions. If anything it's always "Are you a Satanist??" or "Isn't that 'penta-thing' the sign of the devil?

My response to the second question is almost always a slap to my forehead.

[MistOfTheSea86]

I get asked questions with the intention of learning... For instance my friends Katy, who is Christian mind you, had some pretty close minded opinions about us from reading a book written by a christian... I read thtough the book and laughed:) Most of it all said that we unwillingly worship satan and they tried to use pan in relationship to him:rolleyes: So one day, I just sat her down and talked to her about it and she listened. I told her how we dont believe in Satan, and so therefore we dont believe in hell. I told her what paganism meant, and I asked her to not judge someone elses beliefs unless you are positively sure you know what you're doing is right. She hasn't judged pagans since...

This is a great answer. People don't necessarily understand the karma thing. Heck I didn't even fully grasp the reasoning until I read somewhere in a book that example - imagine the most disgusting person you know and them casting a love spell on you. Ew. I think it was in Teen Witch by SRW, anyway it really hit home :)

[SimplyStrange]

Teen Witch, I remember that movie!

I think the idea of karma came pretty easily to me...I mean, I just thought about the fact that I wouldn't like to do something to someone that I didn't want done to me. Been told this since I was little...It's the whole golden rule thing.
