The questioner removed the question after getting 53 answers, most of them less than approving. Guess why?

The question, with Additional Details added by her as the answers came in:

And then she pulled the question.

My response:

I'm a Wiccan, and I'd like to see the source for your statistics, please.

Also, even assuming that your numbers are even close to accurate, you do realize that many of those new Wiccans are people who will dabble in the religion because it is "cool" and then fade away, right? So the numbers you're citing aren't long-term additions to the faith.

This type of religious one-upmanship does no one any favors. Thank you for creating even more unnecessary animosity against us.

EDITED TO ADD: It's the use of exclamation points and the "how does this make you feel?" that turns your question into something mocking. And you really shouldn't go around making statements that you can't back up.

EDITED TO ADD 2: I know what you are. It doesn't change the fact that you said something to antagonize people and that you can't put your money where your mouth is. I have a friend who is a Satanist, and I have little doubt that he'd tell you exactly the same thing.

EDITED TO ADD 3: Your numbers are still wrong. To the best of my knowledge one of the more generally accepted totals for Wiccans worldwide is perhaps one million, and even that is considered high by some Wiccans. And that is a LONG way from 20 million.

She's only sixteen, so perhaps that accounts for some of her ignorance, but her stupidity will probably be a lifelong condition.
