Let's talk about wicca, since that's never discussed in these "religious" forums and as it's a recognized religion. Let's also talk about how every time we place a decent post that contains no profanity or hint of satanism(which is what we are referred to as), which is also by the way so unfair, we get flamed by the almighty Christians who so despise us. For what? Sure there are a couple of bad eggs out there, but there are some in Chrstianity also. I hear so many christians making jokes on how to get rid of the Latter-Day Saints who dress up and ride on bikes, sometimes in the awful heat of the day, to spread your religion. How can you call yourself a good Christian, flaming those that are trying to save people like me? And for the record, Satanism was a religion created to get back at the church. Wicca pulls the roots of it's religion from before the organized church was created. The Wiccan Rede states, "An it harm none, do what thou wilt." It means to harm no-one, not even if they harmed you. We are a peace loving religion, and we just want to be left alone. If you don't believe in it, that's fine, but don't criticize people who are searching for alternative ways to divine insight. As your "Golden rule" states, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It would probably hurt you if I came on this website claiming there was no God and that you are all wasting your time. But I believe that you are entitled to your own beliefs as I am entitled to my own. So treat me, and all of us as you would like to be treated yourself, and respect the beliefs of others, and spread this message to your christian friends, reminding them that at the root of Jesus' journey to the earth, was a lesson of tolerance of others, that they would come to him in their own time. And if they did not, then Jesus' would judge them, not Man. Most of you will quote verses from the Old Testament, but that's from before Jesus' time, before he came to die on a cross to save those that would come to him. And if you have read this far, thank you for being tolerant of my beliefs, and lack there-of. Blessed Be.
