The satan has no practice in the witchcraft religion and i think it's dumb that people would think such things, witchcraft is the study of nature around us, which is the planet itself..."it say do what you want, just don't harm no one or anything", how could something like that take part in the devil worship...the devil harms everyone and everything. Plus witches don't believe in the devil, the christians are the ones who think the satan exist, but witches don't....Now you tell me what religion is closer to the satan, if witches don't even believe in the existance of the devil.

Absolutely nothing wrong with studying Wicca. And if you want to quote the Rede, please get the words more closely correct: "An' it harm none, do what thou wilt". There's a difference between what you want and what you will. :)
I'd be happy to address any questions you might have in Wicca.

This is due to an ignorance from many many years ago when christianity brainwashed the ignorance of everyday people and told them whatever unclean thoughts they had was the devils work what they dont understand is the devils work the only thing they could believe was what the man in the front of their church told them and this information as done the rounds for so long its time people actually stopped and thought about it
Ignorance and stupidity will always be around concerning Wicca/witchcraft it is not upto you to try and prove many decades of misinformation wrong you have only to look at the news etc and see that christianity is now sliding down hill in importance

First, there isn't really a witchcraft religion. Threre are Wiccan beliefs and Pagan beliefs, which are the 2 known witchcrafts there are. Second, the belief that you describe is Pagan belief, in which everything came from the soil and will one day ruturn to it. We also promote not harming nature unless it is for the good of the person. Like using wood to build a fire, skinning an animal to stay warm in the cold, etc. But in response to your question, there is nothing wrong with believing in witchcraft. Just know that there is a dark magick and that is evil, like the devil.

First, witchcraft is not a religion, it's a craft. One can practise witchcraft without belonging to any religion at all.
"Wicca" is a path - a belief system based upon pre-Christian traditions. Wiccans believe in tolerance, healing, self knowledge, peace and harmony with nature, in a similar fashion to say, Buddhism - more a life philosophy than a religion.
See http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/wicca.htm
Only the grossly ignorant and ill-informed associate the worship of Satan with Wicca or witches. You're right - Satan has no place, or even point of reference in their lives.
Satanists are usually happy to add to the confusion, to try to appear more "mainstream".
There is nothing wrong with becoming either or both (note - some witches are entirely solitary and some do not class themselves as Wiccan) provided you are careful choosing your source of learning and do it because it is right for you and not because it happens to be fashionable or rebellious.

The devil and devil worship are religious symbolisms to mark the unknown and change.
People call witchcraft devil-worship because the devil more or less symbolizes living a life to please yourself, instead of doing what's right for others...or "in God's eyes".
Christians believe people are born of sin. As social creatures, though, I think this is completely WRONG and just made to guilt people and put fear into them so they do the "right thing". As social creatures, we have to form families and bonds and friendships to help each other survive. Which would make us, in a way, good.
However, the problem I personally have with religion...is too many of the ones I've met and heard from believe you cannot live a moral, good, kind, helpful life...without God. Which is completely untrue.

The problem is that most people associate "witchcraft" with satanism. Most forms of "witchcraft" have nothing to do with either God or Satan, but developed independently of Christianity, i.e., Wicca. It is a misunderstanding perpetuated by the Christian churches for centuries. Did you know that Pagan at one time did not refer to non-Christians, but simply meant "one who lives in the countryside"? What I'm trying to say is that the Christian churches find it in their best interests to attach negative connotations to other "religions" so as to discredit them and further their own views.

Nothing wrong with it at all. As a matter of fact, the Bible itself teaches that every religious or even non-religious experience is a path of self enlightenment and must be respected for everyone and not pushed on anyone.
Of course, the "holier than thou" holy rollers dont actually READ their own materials, so they have no clue that that is actually in there...

Wicca and satanism are two totally different things, only the ignorant of both confuse them.
