It is a faith just like any other.
The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work 100 percent of the time?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
Love and blessings

Absolutely not. Witchcraft is a very natural thing. Roman Catholics should take a really good soul search of their past history before they condemn others and classify them in mortal/ non mortal type sins. Seems that type of hypocrisy has no bounds...

No, because I don't believe in sin. Witchcraft is taught to xians as an evil sin, when in fact it is a beautiful nature loving religion. It is not about controlling others, but about bettering yourself. Having control over your own life is a good thing. Xians are the ones controlling others and yet, they continue to point the finger at others for their sins.

No, because I'm a Wiccan.
BUT, it depends on your definition of 'Witchcraft'.
Witchcraft and Wicca are not the same thing, and being a Witch does not mean a person practices the forms of Witchcraft refered to by the Church.

I dont believe there are levels of sin ie mortal or veniel. To answer your question though, from a Christian standpoint, the bible is clear that witchcraft is a sin. God's peace to you :)

From a spiritual standpoint no, from a human standpoint yes. Witchcraft is a sin according to man, but I believe that on a spiritual level "evil" and "good" are essentially non-existent. i am sorry I can't elaborate further and will probably get a bad rating because of it, but there you go.

No. I don't believe in sin. And most of what you'd consider witchcraft is just alternative medicine or prayers with props.

Until I came to R&S I did not know it was a sin nor did I know that reading cards, fortune telling etc. were sins either.
I am Bible challenged. Now you ask if it's a mortal sin whoa that would be harsh.

No, of course not. Killing people because they are a different religion than you, now thats a mortal sin.
