Why Pagans are not usually accepted as a 'real' religion.

2) They dont fight amoungst themselves over what version of their own
religion is the *right* one.


Sure they do. See: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Square/7290/



My error, there are some 'fundamentalist' wiccans known as
'traditionalist'. Just like the fundamentalists in any religion, they
are the cause of most of the problems. Most other wiccans pretty much
just ignore them.



One website does not a war make.
Christians have actually KILLED each other over such disagreements.
I have yet to see a wiccan jihad.

They are generally a more peaceful bunch. The worst I've ever seen from
one of them was the parking sign that said:

Wiccan Parking Only
All others will be Toad

They still do, or did until recently.

That's a bit of a mixture, isn't it? Why would Wiccans want to wage an
Islamic holy war?

And I don't believe I can do any harm to myself by performing a magical
spell and "calling on dangerous beings"

There are things you can do that are very likely to induce mental
illness rather quickly. This is, IMHO, where the danger lies in some
rituals. Naturally, psychologists are not researching this, because it
would be highly unethical.

I read of an instance totally outside religion. A mathematician was
studying a problem in four dimensional geometry that is often treated by
allocating colours to the 3-dimensional 'faces' of the four-dimensional
'objects'. He decided to explore all the combinations of colours that
could occur under certain constraints and visualised them as a
'procession' of coloured solids.

He found that he couldn't 'stop the procession', and needed psychiatric
help to escape from that condition.

No, the correct answer is: Because Nature abhors a vacuum.

But she doesn't. See Torricelli.

Oh, see that's that latest.

A jihad now refers to any religious warring.
