Is being Wiccan moral?

[Smilin]

I am in a position to judge a religion however, and it's understanding of God. What is good, what is bad and what is just plain ugly.

Nice Clint Eastwood moment...


First you imply that I or Wiccans do not believe in God, She walks with me every day. I see God in all things, everywhere. I even accept your understanding of God to some extent, an aspect of the Infinite Divine. Second, it is the search for truth that led me away from Christianity in the first place, the Spirit of God intervenes in my life daily.[/QUOTE]

Smilin, when did you move to Antarctica?

A convienient lie. We lie when we cannot square up to a tolerant discussion. We smear others with caricatures when our rage overcomes us. We heap fabrications and falsehoods upon those who threaten us with a view outside of our own; especially when it smacks of truth. We tell lies.

You said it not me.



Yes you do lie when you misrepresent the religion of others.

And I forgot...We question the cogency of others and demean their intelligence when we are driven to madness by thier logic and ethics.

if only you used logic….

Have you ever heard of the Wiccan Rede? "An' Harm ye' none do what ye' wilt'."?

That's exactly my point. It is a man-made religion. But man isn't God, nor has he seen God, so this testifies to whether or not the religion is true. In the meantime, the true God is offended by the worship of spirits who claim to be gods, but are not. The spirits are real. THe problem is, they aren't God. Good question.

Secondly... What if I said any spirit other than Allah that claims to be God is evil? Just curious.

Another good question. Here we have to determine whether or not allah really is God. If you check into the history of the religion, and the fact that human means and force are deeply engrained in the religion, you'll start seeing the difference between the religions. Check back on some of the posts about the authenticity of scripture, and we can go from there if you like.

That's exactly my point. It is a man-made religion. But man isn't God, nor has he seen God, so this testifies to whether or not the religion is true.

Neo-Pagan Religions generally are "man-made" as far as observance of the divine, energy, and customs specific or not to the area. Christianity in the same sense is "man-made," being an observance, one perception of the divine. For example, the observance of Jesus (if he existed) and the lessons that he taught have become a man-made Religion, as man wrote the bible.

In the meantime, the true God is offended by the worship of spirits who claim to be gods, but are not. The spirits are real. THe problem is, they aren't God. Good question.

The problem is, tis question is easily reversable. An example being something like... Thor is God. Loki sends frost giants who pose as other Gods, then Thor tortures those who follow Loki and his demons. (Not neccassarily actual Norse Mythos.) Claiming that one Religion/Diety is the only way is easily as dubious as someone else claiming that their Religion is the only way.

What exactly makes scripture divinely inspired?

If you like, please check through the posts on the authenticity of scripture and the arguments against their being inspired by man. I'd be happy to discuss it further with you if you like.

Imitation: a good topic you brought up. Take a look at the third chapter of Genesis and what satan used to deceive Eve. Look at the specific argument he used. Then, bear in mind what led to his fall. This will reveal a lot.

Take a look at the posts just to familiarize yourself with the arguments, and when I get back we can discuss it more if you'd like.

Considering that the basic requirment of Wicca is do no harm, and as a Wiccan you are supposed to be kind, would it be moral?

HEH weather you are a wiccan or a christian you will find them Very simmular in alot of ways. Back in the day (WAYWAY back in the day) these "children of nature" Were viewed as pagans with their strange worship... however in order to kin of phaze them out and convert them christianity adopted many of their rituals.... Such as christmas... "The birth of a human god from a virgin mother" etc..... there are many man simularities and many differences. Wiccan does not beleive in satan or hell. And Wiccan is polytheism which is described as being way wrong and a major no no. Let me point out saying that tho that Christians beleiving in god and "Jesus As God" then saying the holy "trinity" are also leaning more towards polytheism as well.
