How do you self define, religiously speaking, of course?

I was wondering if you were aware that that so called Wiccan statement is a paraphrase of Anton LaVey's "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" - the primary command of the 'church' of Satan.

It is not a paraphrase of that and nor is "Do what thou wilt shalt be the whole of the law" a quote of Anton LaVey. That came from Aleister Crowley.

QFT.

Don't agree with Wicca, Thelema, or LaVeyan Satanism, of course, but we ought to at least get what they teach and believe right instead of relying on false sources of liars, slanderers, libelers, and the outright dishonest.

Meh. I get the Satanists confused sometimes, lol. But that IS where the phrase originated.

More specifically- a sinner in need of repentance and the medicine of immortality.

Amen to the bold text. I am pleased about the other text, but as my faith icon indicates, I cannot amen it whole heartedly ;)

I believe the Wiccan statement 'An it harm none, do what ye will' pretty much sums up the ten commandments, because if the Creator exists, the Creator is love and love does not harm. Frankly, I'm unsure if Jesus ever actually existed, but if he did, then he was who he said he was.

I was wondering if you were aware of Paul's statements concerning all things being lawful, yet love does no harm to one's neighbor, love being the primary command of the Church of Christ.
