    Of course.
    But people do this :/

    About religion, I'm realy believe that just one religion is right and all the other are wrong, and it's no matter what religion I've choose!
    But that's doesn't mean we can all live together peacefully.

    I don't get it... so we should all drop the whole "God" routine and worship Bill gates while meeting every Saturday at the GooglePlex for "church"?

    I have to disagree denise.

    Religions are a choice. Choices are open to redicule and judgement. If someone wants to believe in something, that's fine - but why shouldn't they be judged? Especially if that "belief" is causing murder, descrimination, and bias all over the world?

    Yo-yo, I can respect your point of view. But I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

    No really... I see a big difference in judging people's choices over judging things people have no control over.

    But judging people for their choices is something we must do to remain a civil, peaceful society. The controversy is what defines "choice".... do gay people chose to be gay, etc.

    Yep, Christians judge me and tell me I'm evil. I'm nothing but the sort.

    `Christians believe that because at one point in history Wicca was more popular than Christianity. So they burned us.

    People fear the unknown, Hashen. That's why they make prejudgements and assumptions about things they truly know nothing about.

    Wicca is an earth based religion, Mike. From my understanding, practictioners can choose to worship any god or goddess of their choosing; multiple gods and goddesses, if they so desire. Most however seem to stick to one that resonates with them.

    Hmm, coming from the Christian few that falls into the category of witchcraft big time.

    That's a common misconception about Wicca. It's true that a lot of Christians have a hard time accepting the religion, but it has absolutely nothing to do with devil-worshipping, Satanic rituals, or anything "Evil", like some people will have you believe.

    Like I said in an earlier post, people fear the unknown. If you'd take the time to learn about the religion, I guarantee you it wouldn't scare you.
