eek Wow this is not how I thought this thread was going to be. I thought there would be a whole lot of OMG! Wiccans are saitenists and Rawr ritious smite! Because thats what I'm used to seeing when this subject comes up. Glad its not though makes it easyer xd 3nodding whee

Anywhos I must be on the Wiccan side of things here too. Now I dont have a religion and I am happy that way because religion is just another reason for people to fight amongst them selfs and create false and hurtful opinions of one another. But I am open minded toward all faiths. Now Wicca and Paganism was around for thousends of years before Christianity. When Christianity showed up thats when the fighting started because they were right and the Pagens were wrong. To convince the people of this they used the devil and hell to scare them saying that anything that didint follow Christian belife was the devils work. When really all Wicca is a return to nature through the spirits that dwell in nature (think of the native american's belifes in a way). Pagenism is The Lord and the Lady, or more then one deity. Satenism is an entirely diferent thing and I hate when people try to compare it to Wicca twisted And there is my take on the subject smile Go Wicca!



ding ding! we have a winner..This is the source of the inaccurate association of Wicca with satanism. The church kind of used to throw that label around a lot back in the day in order to facilitate conversion. It was all just a medieval power-play which is still causing arguments among the ignorant today!

I just want to point out that Wicca is nothing like the beliefs of the countless native American cultures that have existed here centuries and Pagan is actually a term that has nothing to do with the religions of this world, it actually refers to those who more advanced cultures viewed as barbarians.
However later on in time as the catholic church began to come into conflict with the polytheistic religions of Europe and their "barbarian" followers the term probably took on new meaning and became what we now use today.

Use (polytheistic, polytheists, polytheism) instead of pagan because pagan is a derogative term for polytheists

I don't know if this has been said already, but many of the major religions are always fighting...


the only one I don't see any violent acts being done is Buddhism, that is, unless someone knows something I don't

Word!

by reading my posts, you may think me anti-religious.....but this is not necessarily true. People like Alma are awesome.

Its only when religion as a social institution is used as a control mechanism to herd the sheeple one way or another that I get irritated.

When it comes to religion people have had fights about it for years. Wiccans fight themselves for title of who's a true wiccan or not.
