Greetings Acid 09,
I speak for myself in this and not for the other's who have responded to the orignial posters question about Magick and Religion. When someone enters a discussion group, the whole concept is to discuss the beliefs of others, and compare them with our own experience, or beliefs.
In a discussion forum I had the impression that, discussing questions is the purpose of such a group. It does not mean any of us are expert authorities in any specific field, yet, when someone asks a legitimate question in a Group Forum, I believe they are asking for a general consensus answer.
I do believe all of us have an belief, and many of us have certain experience(s) that we can share in a way that it may help another to come to their own conclusion, whether it be in agreement with our viewpoint or completely different.
And in my personal opinion the True Authority of any Religion or Belief is Each One of Its Adherants, not just a Priest/Priestess with a mindless flock following them that never question Life for themselves.
This post is not meant in anger or dispute, I am merely demonstrating that Each of us have a voice, and a mind of our own, and our opinions do matter. Especially in a Group Forum where we are encouraged to respond.
Respectfully, Helel (Joseph)
