A but late but I feel like I should respond to this:
>Unless you know each and every witch personally, how can you know what rituals they engage in?
"I've heard that Witches use the peace sign in their rituals to fight Christians" seems to imply that such a ritual would be a common occurrence, which is what I was addressing.
>You seem to imply I am a "modern right-wing Evangelical"?
No, I just thought you picked something up from them. To be perfectly honest, I assumed it was something created to disparage the anti-war/hippie movement (linking the peace symbol, and by extension, the peace movement, to something unwholesome by implying the symbol has a secret anti-Christian meaning) and just got transferred to beliefs about Wiccans/witches somehow.
But apparently it is a Satanist ritual, so my (partial) mistake.
>Maybe you could spare me your aggressions against these and stop being condescending towards me and instead help me out with the subject matter at hand?
I didn't mean to be aggressive... but this was literally something you could solve with a Google search.
