Merry Meet :)
I was curious on whether or not if you can be a Christian witch because that has become very popular lately but I was searching around and realized that you cannot. Christianity and Wicca are two very different religions. they are polar opposites of each other.
Christianity believes that there is one Go and you should not have any other before him and that you should not practice any pagan rituals and such. (it says so in the king James version of the bible. Deuteronomy chapter 18 verses 9 thru 14.) and Christians believe in sin and hell and that you need to be saved or you will live in eternal flame (aka hell)
Wicca, however, believe not in hell or sin or that you nee to be saved from anything and there are multiple Gods/Goddesses. Wicca worships nature and the seasonal and moon changes. Wicca also pulls some beliefs from different ancient traditions.
In ancient times those who believed in the pagan ways were made to convert to Christianity because they were thought to be sinners that needed to be save from hell-fire. Did you ever notice that the Wiccan and Christian holidays were either the same days or very close together?
My opinion is that early Christians could not get people to convert to their religion unless they somehow made it possible to get them to believe that they were truly sinners so that is how the Christian holidays and wiccan holidays are so close because early Christians tried to stamp out Wicca and other pagan religions and almost succeeded. although there aren't as many pagans as there are Christians, I think that Wicca is making a true comeback though.
it's hard to stamp out something someone believes in with their whole heart and passes it down through generations. As I've said before though, Wicca is not a religion but a spirituality an you can never truly get rid of that.
I'm not prejudice against Christians or even Muslims but when a religion becomes so forceful that it takes over your country by brute force and violence then that tells me that it is not right at all and needs not to be called a religion.
what are your opinions on this?
