Hello.

I am trying to learn more about the Pagan/Wiccan religion. I am very new at this, so forgive me if I am ignorant. I understand that wiccans worshop the God and the Godess. Who are the God and Godess and what do they represent? Am I right in thinking that the Godess refers to nature?

Also, I have noticed that, when writing spells, 'early modern English' is popular (thee, thou, hast etc). Is this necessary? Can modern English be used?

What is the difference between Paganism and Wicca? I understand that Paganism refers to religions/beliefs separate from the standard abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). Is Wicca a Pagan religion? What other Pagan religions are there?

Do you have sacred places?

How do you cope with persecution?

What is the origin of the three-fold rule? Why not a five-fold rule (when there are five elements)?

Again, I apologise for my ignorance and request that ONLY Pagans/Wiccans answer. I do not want condemnation here!

Since christens claim that Jesus died for the sin of all humanity, starting from Adam, and not only people coming after him. Why do you say animal sacrifice became no longer needed not was never needed?

I am a western guy with a passion for religion and religious studies. I was born and raised as a Christian bit I have attended a lot of different religions, both Christian and non Christian, and Buddhist.

I have been reading a lot about Islam and Islamic countries, especially the Middle East and its ancient past, recent past and now.

I would really like to go and live in a Middle Eastern Muslim country, learn Arabic, study the Qur'an, work there, use the local clothes and grow a beard.

I work in the financial sector and have been reading about the Sharia law in this sector so that I know how I can adapt my experience to the Sharia law.

The thing is that I am gay and even though I can appreciate that Islam, like a lot of Christian religions, does not accept sexual contact of people of the same sex, only condemns it if there is sex involved.

I think I couldn't live a life of chastity

When we're doing this we're spreading hatred, CAUSING hatred, causing war and all the bad stuff. Then this supports the atheists claims that religion brings bad stuff because it's our fault,

This is totally againts what we are taught from religion,

so why are we attacking each other again?

Isn't it preferable to believe things we can have some tangible or meaningful knowledge of, things we can investigate and come to some practical conclusion if they are real or not.

Theology makes some mighty impressive and certain claims... based on thin air or faith.
If there is a God nobody can have any meaningful knowledge of what God is or what God entails or whether God has as a plan of any kind, isn't it better to stick with thing we can have some meaningful knowledge of like natural history etc.

They believe that He was a prophet from God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me. " If they believed that He was a prophet, and what He spoke was from God, why do Muslims not believe His words?

The so called "Prophet" Muhammad stated that women are 10x less intelligent then men are. And Muslim men are instructed never to seek the council of a woman. But yet, some of the best minds in the science, medicine, physics, etc are women. How can this man claim to be a "prophet", from God, if his words are not true?

Im not trying to offend, Im just curious as to why it's deemed as basically blasphemy and so wrong in the Islam religion? Its only a picture!!! If memory serves right last time this happened there was a huge uproar with Muslims all over the world in the streets with banners, claiming death to all infidels, is that not a bit extreme?
Also is it only Mohammad or is it all the prohets like Abraham, Jesus etc. I dont believe it is wrong in Christianity or Judaism to draw pictures of Christ or Abraham so why would it in Islam?
