As I said, alt.magick is not a pagan, Wiccan, or any other kind of
religion- oriented newsgroup. Expect all of your beliefs to be
questioned and challenged here. If that bothers you, remove the cross-
post from your newsgroup list.
In other words, if it bothers you to have your beliefs questioned and
challenged, then you might not want to post to alt.magick. If you do
want your beliefs questioned and challenged, then certainly continue
posting here, because they will be. The choice is yours, I'm simply
trying to help you make it an informed one.

You are confused because you don't know the difference between magick
and religion. You think alt.magick is a religious oriented newsgroup,
which it is not, so you don't understand why your beliefs aren't left
untouched here. Chade provided you a link to the alt.magick faq, read
it.

Why do you have any beliefs at all? Why not let go of the whole lot?
