For my part, I don't think a survey will matter one way or another. People will always believe what they want to believe, and if you disagree with them they will simply think you're wrong.
I really don't think this the place to put something like that. The majority of the people here are wiccans, pagans, etc. and most don't think they exist, at least not in this world. But that idea could fit better in a sci-fi, fantasy, etc. site. This site was originally filled with real spells and no role-playing madness. I also do think this site should be renewed or make a new version so we can leave this one to the people who messed it up with role play and false spells, etc. and the people who want to be serious can move on to the newer version. I don't know about blacklisting the ones who continue role playing from entering a new one though. But there would be probably some way the moderators could prevent that.
I agree with the reasoning behind wanting something such as this but I do disagree with actually having it due to many reasons already stated in previous posts. However I have to say that besides whether you try tp teach them not ot share your opinion with them and they choose to disagree with you or not, why should it really effect your learning process here. It seems that people make a mountain of a mole hill sometimes, when really your just upset or frustrated that they don't believe in what you believe. People need to realize that we our all on our seperate journeys wherever they may lead and what one may belive another may not, just as what one will do another may not. I suggest you focus on your own path and learn what you wanr, and if you want to teach others thats your choice but don't get frustrated or angry about others for not listening, because you are not them and you have a choice to teach others and share your beliefs and opinions, but in the same right those people have the choice to do and believe as they wish. With that all said we are all here mostly to learn and grow as we take our own spirittual path, and for some that might be easier and for others it might take a while.Those are just my general thoughts on the matter.
i'm just recommending somethig, i don't intend to force it onto people
I just want others to realize that this site is for only serious people, not for people who just believe in fantasies. back then i was also believing that i could fly, teleport, etc. in the future, and i thought the people who were saying that magick is only for serious people(like me now) are just people who want to give us negative thoughts. but when i realize that I NEED TO MATURE, i left my narrow-mindedness and learned how to differentiate reality from fantasy...
I'm sorry if my idea is quite bad, but thank you for still reading this topic...
Just to mention, I understand where you are coming from, but everyone has to start from somehwere, even if you start from beyond a fluffy perspective, in my opinion thats why the site is so diverse and well rounded, to give people a place to start, and hopefully mature into other things, move on to higher sights, and trnascend the need for a spiritual medium or gateway.
Anything is possible do you have any proof that these things do or donot exist? Secondly no offense to any of you, but this does anger me! Calling people fluffies is the SAME as judging them for what they believe in and who can really tell anyone their beliefs are wrong!? You have no right as I am sure they don`t judge you DONOT do it to them. I don`t like judgemental people, if people started coming on here telling you that you were wrong and a fake for what you believe would that not be judgemental to you!? That`s why I STRONGLY advise against it before people do it to you!
