I fail to see what you're going on about? o.O
How do you know these people are Christian?
How does this cause you to lose faith in all humanity just because there are a few stupid people on a chatroom mostly inhabited by kids in their mid-teens.

And frankly just to n** this in the bud, about christians the kind that don't approve of you and make asses of themselves for doing it are not the whole population. If you are going to judge a group of people based on a handful then you are really no better than what you say you don't like.

Not everyone will like you, not everyone will agree with you. Deal with it. It's real life. And at the very least try to be civil about it because even if the people you're dealing with are jerks it doesn't improve the situation to be a jerk as well.

This was what I meant.Sorry for the confusion...

"i have a friend who's wiccan, and she stresses that it's not devil worship. in image it's not, but in essence it is. it is NOT christ centered and does NOT involve christ worship, and jesus made it pretty dang clear that anything that doesn't worship him is against him.
matthew 12:30 says "he who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters abroad".
and the first commandment says "thou shalt not worship any other gods before me". wicca does not involve christ worship, so it is against christ and hinders the furthering of god's kingdom. yes, wiccans are generally peaceful, which is a huge relief, but wicca itself is not something we should approve of.
i'm not saying be mean to them, goodness no pleeeeease do NOT do that. love them all the same, you might be the only christian influence in their lives. oftentimes, we christians are the only bible anyone will ever read. "



"The wiccan religion is mainly dealing with witchcraft, but I don't know many details. I do know it is a very popular subject if you're trying to sell a book to mindless teenagers. "

Well they are entitled to their beliefs, she said specifically not to be mean to wiccans, that they should love us the same as anyone else. Isn't that what you want? But seriously if they believe the only road to salvation is throught Jesus Christ their Lord then they are also entitled to believe we are going to hell. Unless you believe in hell there is NOTHING for you to worry about. So let them believe what they want, she is essentially doing the same for us. She is so much more Christian about it than the people who take it upon themselves to abuse people who don't follow Christ.

LOLLLLLZZZZZ about the books it's TOO true. There are so many books that are out there that are written by half whits who are just in it to make a buck and they can because so many are gulleable to whatever they read and are too lazy to go out and find a coven to really learn from. Sorry but it had to be said because it is the truth.
