They're going to believe what they believe and there's nothing you can do about it. Just know that there ARE decent Christians out there that believe you are every bit as good as they are. If one calls you a Satanist, simply remind them of the First Amendment, OR simply remind them that they aren't supposed to be judging you, because Jesus forbids it. Or just simply ignore them and walk away. I'm a Witch and I've been down that road. It's not worth arguing with such people, because you will never ever change their mind. Blessed be.

Only closed mind people think this way. I too studied many religions before deciding to follow Christianity. It's not that I believe Christianity is the better faith, but it is the one that gives me understanding. By the way I thought I would mention that not all followers of Yahweh (whom I believe you are referring to when you put "those who believe in god") are Christians. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, while some Jewish religions believe that Jesus was not the son of God yet they worship the same God as Christians and Muslims also believe in the same God while they believe that Jesus was only a prophet. You should follow what you really believe in and not worry about what others think. I continue to read about other religions and I have integrated many other beliefs into my personal beliefs, and I have run across the people you are referring to. The funny thing is they try to convert me to my own religion, because I just let them go on about what they believe without mentioning that I believe they are right. They wouldn't hear me anyway so why should I both. Also I have found that the people that try to show you how you are wrong usually go against their own religion without realizing it and when you point this out it only gets them mad, so try to be the better person and not do that. Keep an open mind so that you may continue to grow and don't sweat the small stuff.
Just wanted to add after seeing your additional comments that you are no different then the ones you are complaining about. No you never said that Wicca was the right religion, but in your additions you intentionally offend Christians by claiming their bible is a work of fiction. BTW the original bible was written in biblical hebrew and aramaic and translated into many langauges. Also you should know that the books you read today about Wicca only date back to the 1960's or so. And they also have no facts to back them up. Religion is based on faith and if you need proof then you have no faith.

Christians beleive that there is only one God and that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.
John 10:9 says....
"Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. Wherever they go, they will find green pastures."
Don't take this as being preachy, because I'm just explaining my point of view.
I was a Pagan before I became a Christian.
I know that Wiccans do not even beleive in the "Christian devil".When I was a Pagan, I thought that Christianity was wrong, and that I was on the right path. I was so annoyed with Christians that I shut my eyes to their message, even though I studied Christianity, I dident beleive in it.
One day, something stirred inside my heart, and I felt my mind, eyes and heart open to Jesus. I was shocked and surprised, because my beleifs were so different for so long.Ever since I opened my heart to Jesus Christ I've never felt more whole and more connected to God than ever before.
I can understand how Christians beleive that their religion is the right one because I know how great it feels to have Jesus in my heart, as cheezy as that sounds. I dont agree with bashing any religion and I respect all cultures, beleif systems and religions.

I honestly don't know anything about being wicca,but I do know that I personally have not ever said that anybody worships satan.As a Christian though,I find it hard to believe that anyone who has heard the word of the Lord does not feel something in their heart.I'm not judging anyone,I just don't understand.

I understand that you have done much research just t find out what is best for you. Yes, perhaps Christians (and some non-Christians) do think that their (our) religion is the only correct one. I apologize for the pressure, but I'm quite sure that your quest for proper information isn't over yet. Please do not give up checking out other religions...and I'm sure you'll arrive at the proper belief in the end.
Anyway, some of the Bible is written figuratively, so I can see why you were a bit misled.
"Seek and you shall find."

God himself takes a stance that says...if your not with me your against me...The prophet Elijah asks a question to those who would follow Baal...
1 Kings 18:21.And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Christians have a foundation built...and that is based on/in the word of God...It is not possible for a Christian to compromise with other religions.or doctrines...because we believe the true and living God...and in the bible which gives enough information to know who Jesus is ..his purpose ..our purpose Gods purpose for us....
As a Christian in the spiritual realm I know there is but 1 ALL powerful Creator of all and His word to us is ....
1 Peter 5:8.Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
There is no interim...it's either God..or the devil...so this is why Christians take the same stance as God ...
The word of God is plain when it comes to our salvation...Jesus said in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me....there is no other way to get into heaven...So how can..we walk arm and arm with those who degrade and downplay who Jesus is...this is not possible..
wicca is a a type of witchcraft and anybody who uses or consults with familiar spirits or uses chants spells in the name of being one with nature ...or to have a oneness with god and or a goddess...this is not an acceptable situation according to the bible ...and the bible is clear about what used to happen to witches...because it is an abomination to God
Either the spirits involved have you blind to their ways or you are willing ignorant of them...either way there is no justification and there is no compromise when and where it applies to a witch..or witchcraft....
Like I said you sy there is no satan in wicca..but if your not with God...you're against him...and the one who is against him firstly...is satan...I pray God have mercy ..and help you to be delivered from the deception

If it is a religion then there is some diety involved and that means the devil. There is only one true God so one of us must be wrong. In wicca you do something, spells, songs, rituals something and that is worshipping your diety.. And that diety is satan..
We don't think that we are right, we know that we are right...

I am a believer and I've never made any assumptions for as Wiccans or your beliefs. I don't seek out those who believe differently than me. I've studied other religions also but stay clear from those that reflect negatively towards my beliefs. Religion is man made. There's no such thing as the "right one." I respect those that respect my beliefs.

Christianity is the belief that the son of God, Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins and it is only in faith through Him that we might be saved. Obviously it is illogical for a Christian to believe that everyone else's religions are correct as well if the religion does not have this doctrine.
