And I don't believe in complete "tolerance" of every act and belief. A "civilized" world will not remain "civil" if complete tolerance is allowed. You'll end up murdering unborn babies. You'll end up catering to homosexuals. You'll end up killing your disabled, because they are inconvenient.

This is a rave. It is not a sensible argument. Being tolerant of other's spiritual beliefs is highly separable from being tolerant of any arbitrary act no matter how heineously damaging to others.

You'll end up consulting psychics, spiritists and witches and fall into every evil imaginable.

This is nonsense. Insofar as preserving civilization is concerned--people do not need to be persecuted for their beliefs, only for their actions which do tort harm to others. You're just trying to recruit the state to fight your religeous battles here. Wikkans and mediums have as much right to preach their religions as you do yours.

I'm not trying to recruit the state to do anything. You asked me if I believed it was moral to prosecute people for performing witchcraft and spiritism and I told you.
