Again the split of the Roman Catholic Church occured in 1517. The things you read off of a google search can be very misleading and even false. Whereas things that have been well researched by reputable scholars, is neither.
Again, Martin Luther caused the division of the Church and the birth of the various demoninations. His protests and his letters are what fueled the split because he felt that the Church's practices were not Christ-like and that they were greedy.

natsukashiku naru konna itami mo kangeijan again, i'm not referring to that. what i'm talking about was a split of people that were christians, not christianity itself. a social split more than a religious one. this HAS been researched by reputable scholars, which is probably because it was true, actually happened, and WAS RECORDED. seriously, look it up: "SCOPES TRIAL". just because you didn't here about something doesn't mean it didn't happen, and it doesn't mean that the people that know about it are wrong. I’ll erase this feeling… I still have a long life don’t I? kono omoi wo keshiteshimau ni ha mada jinsei nagai deshou? Okay I'm going to nitpick a bit:
It would be nice if you used perfect grammar that way the people you debate with understand what you're saying.
The split in Christianity was a social and religious one. Martin Luther was proposing social reform for the Catholic Church. Thus the Protestant Reformation was born.
The whole point behind the ruling was because many people didn't think that Evolution was apart of the "normalcy" they had sought for after coming out of WWI. People thought at that time Christianity was the normal thing and should be taught because that's how it was before World War I.
The trial doesn't however show a social split in Christianity. It shows that people have an issue of accepting new theories because it doesn't seem compatible with their religion. Because these new theories in a sense disrupts the sense of normalcy.I’m missing the feeling… so this pain is also welcomed! natsukashiku naru konna itami mo kangeijan

Dsay Valentine Love to Paint KasaChan Next month I am going to begin the process of Self-Initiation to Buckland's non-traditional form of Wicca, Seax-Wica.....yes I know it's not recognized as Wicca because it has rules that Buckland started. I know the history. I am not an idiot, so don't treat me like I am.
In my opinion Seax to Wicca in like Mormon to Christianity.
A lot of Christians don't consider Mormons Christian, and a lot of Wiccans don't consider Seax Wicca.
I get it. It is all clear to me now, thank you everyone whom I argued with for the past week or so. I am set in stone. British Traditionalists may tell you you are not Wiccan because Buckland Started the tradition, but just several years before, Gardner started Wicca. Buckland was initiated by Gardner, and was 3rd degree in Gardner's coven. Before BTWs go around saying "OOH you're not really Wiccan", they need to check out what you are doing and see if it has any validity. Gardner lived long enough to see a lot of what Buckland was doing and never spoke out against him. If what you are doing makes you a better person, if it brings you magick, nobody has the right to tell you that you not for real.
The rest is just semantics over this word "wicca" I know Btws who say that they're valid because they do things exactly Gardner's way, just don't have the initiated line back to him. I know BTW's who say that they have lineage back to Garner they just incorporate different Gods and Goddesses. There are hundreds of people out there lying about their lineage, who can really know for sure. I know British Traditionalists who are no more spiritual (and in some cases less) than people who proudly say they learned out of books.
Are you a better person for your studies?
I do believe there need to be standards, but I don't think they can be set here. I don't think you can buy a Silver Ravenwolf book and a pentacle and then call yourself Wiccan because you say so, but unfortunately we just don't have hard and set rules. The line is very thick and very grey where wicca starts and ends (unless you are one of those who say lineage back to Gardner end of story)
I think it is time that Wiccans realize that the word is acceptable for others to use. Call yourselves Gardnerians if you believe your lineage is true, but more harm than good is being done by discounting the true magick of others because of this word you are clinging to.
I applaud you on becoming Seax Wiccan, good luck in your endeavors. Be proud. I have had the good fortune of meeting Raymond Buckland several times (he lives here in Ohio) he is a highly spiritual man and wise human being.
wow, you are amazingly well mannered and polite, and make 100 percent sense. its people like you and rizu, and akasha, and lance, oh, ALL the wonderful members we have that didnt join to put us down!!! all is right in the world again..........until the cycle starts again. refer to the last post that went this way if you need to.....but please, can we all get along?kage no neko Vixen: You can't at all accurately compare Wicca and Christianity. They function so completely differently, it's not a matter of "oh, I just don't like you / believe what you do". Wicca is Gardner's religion. He set the rules down to say that you have to do this, or else you're not practicing his religion. It's like if I take my beliefs and establish my path with my own rules and call it "Potatoes of Doom" and make one of the rules to be a Potato that you have to always keep a potato in your left pocket. It's my religion, I can make it as silly as I want! You don't want to stuff a potato into your pocket every day? Then don't, but you can't be a Potato. Why? 'cause it's mine, I said so. With Wicca, Gardner established it, said that you have to follow the core.. You change that, do anything that's different from the rules he set down, you're not practicing Wicca. ok, i have a question, im not trying to sound rude but i dont know how else to try to work it out in my head. so Potatoes Of Doom goes on for a while, until two people argue, "what potato is best?" half decide red russet, and half yukon gold. which is right? then theres the sect of purple potatoes, and THEN the sweet potatoes and yams jump into the mix. then there are those who think it dosent matter, a potato is a potato. are any of them right or wrong, though all are following the guidelines?
and i thought wicca was older then gardner? if he made rules it would be HIS sect, right? Dsay you crack me up sometimes

I am attending college to become a future teacher, scary huh? I was just making a grammar joke, that maybe you just didn't get. I thought you would, since grammar is a big deal to you. Currently there is a problem with teens text-writing in essays. Sometimes they don't use vowels. It's a rather odd thing. I was just poking fun at grammar, trying to lighten the mood. I am just getting sick of people getting too worked up in this thread. I was just saying this is an informal debate so "perfect grammar" should not be expected. Hell, my major besides secondary education is English and I don't even hardly ever be usin it on Gaiaonline. It's just not to be expected. I doubt most people on Gaia should be expected to write scholarly. Just next time ask for people to be more clear, the way you stated it seemed petty, thus my comment.
I don't defend being called a b***h, I know I was being a b***h. I am too opinionated, that's actually why I don't add stuff to this chat, just things about what you guy are saying.
