I don't understand what the problem is with some people. A lot of people call me a satanist and tell me I am going to hell cuz I don't worship their god, and because I am wiccan. It makes me mad when ignorant people make there opinions when they don't even know what the heck they are talking about, except what they are brainwashed to think. I am happy with my religion because it helps me find peace, but I have realized the I don't need to explain myself to others who WANT to be ignorant. I am happy that there are so many different religions out there because it helps us to be individuals and be happy with who we are. I kno that i am tired of people who try to shove their religion on me just because they don't agree with what I believe in. Who agrees with me?

Hay Jedi like me get a lot of crap to .

Don't listen to those people who tell you your going to Heck because your Wiccan. I have friends who associated themselves with that belief and loved it. I mean once again we have freedom we can choose which religion we want to follow. And those that keep forcing their own religion down your throat I say just listen to what they say and politely let them know your not interested. I mean in a way they can just be showing that they simply care about you. Best thing to do is listen and let them down easily. If the point doesn't get across after a couple of times be more firm in telling them no.

How do you know they have "cancer?"

Marvellous comeback. Sheer craftsmenship.

So katj, if I say that I am the way, the truth and the light, does that make me right? And if I convince a whole load of other people to write a book about me, saying how wonderful I was, and you read it a century or two or twenty later, would you agree with me?

How do you know they have "cancer?"

they say your are going to hell, because you are. anyone who doesn't confess with thier mouth and thier heart that Jesus is lord and that he died on the cross for your sins and that he was raied again, if u don't u are going to hell. Jesus says i am THE way THE truth and THE life, NO ONE comes to the father EXCEPT through me. i know it sounds one sided and narrow. but isn't truth narrow.
if u had the cure to every cancer would u hid the answer. what if u told me and i said "y, thank you. i will conider that but i really think that if i do this other thing will cure my cancer."
that doesn't make sence u would want to tell that person over and over, this is the cure, this is the cure.
that is the same way with Jesus. Jesus is life and he is the "cure" and i am just trying to tell you the "cure" to your "cancer"

Leave Wicca for your own good. You're not going to hell, but wicca is stupifying. If you truly want witchcraft, study other types of witchraft. There is santería, spiritism, voodoo, general African witchcraft, demon/angel witchcraft, etc. Wicca is a blender of all the idiodicy of the old witchcraft out there.

You can't find peace without chaos and you can't have love without hate. This is the biggest lie about Wicca; it ignores all the evil in the world.

And if you REALLY want serious-ass witchcraft, read gremoires. The Lesser Key of Solomon, or the Goetia, is a good start. Although it contains mostly demon magic, which your little Wicca philosophy would explode at.

spirituality has nothing to do with logic. it just has to do with finding your own inner contentment and what you find comfortable. people should not be made to think that their happiness is an "abdurd fantasy" If you want to hate people because they have an imagination and hopes and dreams, don't tell them. keep your opinion to yourself.

Your right, you know the only thing worse than Christians harassing Wiccans and calling them Satanists?

Wiccans actually continuing to believe the absurd fantasy that is thier religion.

A spirituality based on logic and reason is the true and best way to find peace. To me, my beliefs are far more magical and filled with wonder than Wiccia or Christianity could ever be.

It all comes down to a sense of peace and contentment and conscience. However, having just read a particular post on another spirituality thread, I am quite in agreement with you.

If it works for you, you don't need to explain yourself to anyone. Just do what you feel is right.

People will always be ignorant. The best thing to do is laugh at them and go on about your business. It works for me.
