About Me: I am 14 years old, 95.0 average, I play tennis, soccer, and i run track. Almost anyone that knows me (including adults) will say that I am smart, mature, and responsible.
I don't believe in God, even though my mom and dad are Christian. And I would prefer if you didn't give me answers with quotes from the bible, I'm not interested in becoming a Christian. I am Wiccan. And being a Wiccan has nothing to do with Satan. Satan is a Christian foe. It doesn't go with the Wiccan religion.
My question is: Do you think that I am to young to decide my religion? I mean, everybody should be able to live their life the way that they want to.

no. i am 14. my parents are all atheists. i have chosen to be a Christian. it is your choice on what religion you want to believe in.
if you force yourself to believe in something that you are unsure even exists, then you wont be staying true to yourself.
religion is based on faith, and if you lack it and someone forces you to "believe in something you dont believe in, you will not really be a part of that religion.
i hope that made sense...

No. I don't think you're too young to decide your religion, because you have already decided it.
Wicca is a good choice; it's a beautiful religion. You might have a hard time explaining it to your parents, though, depending on how Fundamentalist they are.
Since you're young, you might find yourself seeking a different path eventually, or you might remain with Wicca all your life. The point is to keep seeking.
Best of luck with that, and Blessed Be!

No.
Also I think that you are never too old to change your religion.
You need to ask yourself why you are a Wiccan. Do you have some evidence that that belief system is correct over any other?
If not, why do you believe it? If not, why not be atheistic or agnostic.
Can you do something that would effect a random event like a dice roll? If so try it and test it to see if it really does have an effect or not.
An atheist.

No, you are not too young to pick your religion. However, I think you do have a lot to learn. Whether you believe in God or not, does not mean that He doesn't exist. His existence isn't based on your belief or on mine for that matter. It is based on hardcore truth.
God does not need to defend Himself, nor will He. He is the Creator of the Universe and that includes you. You may choose Wicca if you want, but remember, being young does not guarantee you another day on this earth. So choose wisely.....eternity is a long time to be wrong.

No I don't think you are to young to choose your religion but just because a adult say you are smart mature and responsible doesn't mean you are a adult you are just smart for your age that's it. Don't let that get to your head and you have a A average good doesn't make you smarter than anyone else but keep the good grades up..

I guess that in ancient Rome there was also a young girl who told her Pagan parents that she wanted to become Christian... so what? It's good to compare religions and try to find answers that convince us from any philosofical or religious system. Get in any religion, but remember 2 things: your common sense and that a real religion is intended to make us better with ourselves and what surrounds us.

You are at a time in your life where kids are slowly deciding who they are, what they think, and what they believe. What you believe is up to you to decide. Come your 20s, whether you decide those beliefs do suite you and you keep them, or you have moved on to yet another view, that is up to you, and just part of growing up. Most people don't completely know their own minds and views until about mid 20s anyhow, you still have time to piece together who you are to be as a person.

I was done with religion at your age, so I'd say you're ready to decide, I know I was. The fact you're actually thinking about things is always a good sign. Keep thinking for yourself, and maybe you'll also get to atheism eventually ;)
Blessed be

You can deny it if you want to, but YHVH said witchcraft was bad. I would hope you would do some more studying, and find out what you are messing with before you get burned (either figuratively or literally).. I would suggest that you are too young to pick a life partner (as in marriage,) and too young to vote, or drive, so maybe so. In honesty, though, if you said you had read scripture, and chose to follow the Messiah, I probably would not say you are too young,, so maybe I am being inconsistent.

You are choosing to except one belief and rejecting another, so you are at the age of accountability for your choice. What walk you choose will determine your eternal destiny whether you believe it or not. I pray your spiritual eyes will be opened to the truth. It's the truth that will set you free from the bondage for which you have entangled yourself. I will keep you in my prayers.
