Strangelove, we agree on something! Unfortunately, you are a bit more eloquent with your words than I, so I shall watch this one and not participate.

Korith, you sound angry. or frustrated. or something.

I am pretty set in that I think the Bible is a work of fiction, and not the divine word of God. Therefore, I cannot say I beleive in the "Christian" God, trinity or otherwise. I simply state that I know little of the nature of a Creator, but based upon what I know of our world, I'm betting it has something to do with a reasoning, rational being.

Disagreing with Theology PhDs does not mean I place myself higher than them. There are also plenty of theologists, past and present, that agree with me in some form or another. Do I those that disagree with me are wrong? For the most part, yes. Does this mean I'm not open to new information? Absolutely not. I've just never heard ONE convincing argument as to why the Bible should be taken as the word of God. Literal translation or interpretive, I see no reason whatsoever to beleive that that book, formed by commitee, is crafted by divine influence.

Korith, You've never really had a good conversation with me on this subject have you? Aside from that little anti-faith spat I went on for a while? What close minded reasoning? What lack of theological understanding? Come on Korith, I'm well overdue for a good religion conversation.

See, I pride myself in not knowing that much about roleplaying games.

Strangelove, Your complete lack of theological understanding and close minded reasoning has set yourself back even farther than any "lets play pretend" religions could have.

Celtic, anyone, help me.

Wicca and the pagan religon general is completely nonesensical, even moreso than christianity. You guys are setting humanity back a thousand years in theological and scientific thought.

There...done.

It is a very broad word, but most pagans are very quiet with worship, and want only to be left alone, and therefore often draw little attention to themselves, even if there be a large community in one area.

thank you....you seem vary interesting if you ever want to talk live you or any Pagan can AIM me on ViloiaKaclb thank you again

I am a Pagan and I thought I could help you to understand that Wiccan although I prefer that term beacuse it is more familar to the "non wiccans" is just a sorry name for Pagans like Witch and a prefer not to say the others

Hey, I'm new to this, but here's my two cents. I'm a wiccan and I've practiced for about 7 years now. I have never been happier. As a child I was pushed toward Christanity, but it just didn't feel right. When I found Wicca, it was like a light went on inside me. I had found something that felt true, and real. It hasn't be easy for me, but its been worth it. Just wanted to say something.

They seem fairly harmless. I don't know much about Wiccan or Pagen religions, just that Wiccan. It's nature-based, correct? Some Wiccans wanted to move to a town near mine, and start a church (do they call them churches?) . But the townspeople put a stop to it. It's a shame, if you ask me. I doubt they would have hurt anyone.

---

Yes its nature based. And it's called coven, lol.

I dont practice Wicca not because I find it wrong as a belief, but because it has been so commercialized, therfore making it into this always happy group of people. It just doesnt suit me.
