1st of all i don't talk about religion nor have i ever said anything about what my religion is and i was sent this in my email from some old hag! SO if the person thought it was funny to send me something such as this i pity you!
- Do the gods and goddesses of Wicca actually exist?
- If they actually exist, how do you know they exist?
- If your tradition contradicts the tradition of another Wiccan, can they both be objectively true?
- How do you feel about believing in the religious system where you cater your religion to your desires?
- if you cater/construct your religion according to our desires, then isn't it nothing more than your own invention?
- Is Wicca able to be shown to be false or is it all non-verifiable ideas?
- If your spells and incantations produce results, how do you know that the power behind the results is good or not?
- How do you know that there is something more sinister behind Wicca?
- Why do you think that rituals dealing with candles, knives, and such are able to affect nature?
NOW I'M ADDING IN MY TWO CENTS!
1st of all who freaking cares what religion you are? i have friends from many different religions.
you can not prove who is right and who is wrong. All you as a person of that belief is to do is believe with your whole heart in what ever the teaching of your religion.
Yes spread you word about you religion as you faith says sure but this does not included sending emails to random people because you view their profile and think "oh no! they have "goth/rock/heavy metal music on their page they need to be saved!"
Have you learned nothing from the past? the Crusades happened long ago and you missed it by about 11 centuries i do believe (i maybe wrong). Those who do not learn from the past are bound to repeat it!
Hasn't there been enough hate and bloodshed in the name of one's God or religion?
AND AGAIN NOT ONCE HAVE I EVER TALKED ABOUT MY RELIGION ITS NOT BECAUSE I'M ASHAMED OF IT OR EMBARSSED BY IT BUT FOR THE FACT I DON'T WANT TO BE LUMPED INTO THE SAME GROUP AS OTHER THOUGHTLESS, AND IGNORANT PEOPLE OF MY FAITH!
NOT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE HATEFUL AND THE SAME GOES ABOUT ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS AND BELIEFS OUT THERE. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A FEW ROTTEN APPLE IN THE GROUP!
BUT THERE IS NO NEED FOR SUCH IGNORANCE TO BE SENT TO SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!
some mothers here need to take a step back and get a really good look at themselves because the things they do and say are not becoming for the faith.
I would also like to remind everyone it is not the religion that make a person who they are but it is their heart and their action which makes them who they are.

meghancooper, thank you.
NightPhoenix, i just want to get it out there that its not the religion that make you who you are. in all truth its the person who makes the religion. when you think about it if a person has their heart in the right place and is a compassionate, and thoughtful that is what truly makes them who they are and it makes the religion what it is.
Blessed be,and AMEN,SISTA! I know there are always gonna be 'those rotten apples',I just really wish there was a way we could.....be who we are,without all of the dramamamas here...ya know?
Thank you for posting this,and makin' it public,so we could learn from you! I really hope the mama who sent this to you in the first place reads these replies!
