Not the greatest way of asking that question sweetie.
They will never understand because they don't want to. You can't make them just as they can't make you understand their religion. To truly understand another persons point of view in anything whether it be religion, lifestyle or whatever, you first have to want to understand it.
Let go of your anger and frustration and live and worship the best way you know how.
Blessed Be )O(

I consider myself a Christian but not closed-minded. But I also don't live by the philosophy "to each his own."
With that said, I have heard of Wiccans but don't really know what it's all about. In the past I've had co-workers who identified themselves as Wiccan but never found out from them what that meant. I'm not against finding out what it is.
And with that said, I would hope your antagonism is not indicative of the Wiccan religion. I don't state anything about another religion if I don't have evidence to support that so I'm not going to state that it seems like open-mindedness is not a strong suit in the Wiccan religion.

I am a Christian, I am not close minded at all. I have many very close friends that are Wiccan. I think that most Christians don't get it at all, not even their own religion. Then again that may be why I stand alone and why I don't believe in organized religion.

Wicca is a relatively new pagan religion(it was founded in England in the 1950s by Gerald B. Gardner)that practices witchcraft.
Wiccans worship a triple-goddess & a horned god.
There. I answered your question, now do any of you closed-minded Wiccans even understand what the Christian religion is?

They're not all close-minded. I have a Christian friend who said he'd do some research after I told him that I'm a practicing Wiccan.

I've never been exposed to someone who practiced Wicca. How could I then understand it?
That doesn't make me closed-minded, just someone who hasn't had the opportunity to meet someone or learn about something.
Here's a question for you: Do you even undertand the true Christian faith? I'm guessing probably not because you refer to us as "closed-minded" and that is very far from the truth--we are instructed to have open hearts.
(I'll grant you that we fail at that a lot--at least, I do...)

Yes we do.
Wiccans tend to be individualists, and have no central holy book, prophet, or church authority. They draw inspiration and insight from science, and personal experience. Each practitioner keeps a personal book or journal in which s/he records magickal "recipes," dreams, invocations, songs, poetry and so on.
Magik is spelt with a K so it does not show resemblance to a magic show.
So suffice to say it is a do as I please religious craft.
This excerpt was taken from a Wicca sight.
I do not make this up.
God Bless

I'm not close-minded, yes I don't completely understand your religion (I DO know that it's NOT devil-worship), but I would like to have a better understanding of it (no I won't judge).
