Yes, everybody is posting about Wicca friends. Well, my best friend is a Wicca. We are REALLY close to each other. She just converted to Wicca last November or September. I remember how I was worried about her, and I told her that its not the best idea... but she just said: "Its cool. I wanna learn witch-craft!"
I dont know what to do. Everybodys advice is to talk about Christianity, but the problem is that shes against Christians. She hates Christians because they persecuted far back in history. I try to tell her that almost every religion persecuted. Christians were persecuted in the beginning too! She says she doesnt care. Whenever we learn about the crusades in class she always says, "Those stupid fanatical Christians!"
It really offends me. I tell her that, but she says,"Youre nice, but thats because youre not a stupid fanatical Christian."
I dont know what to do, Im scared to say a word about Christianity to her. And I cant stop being friends with her. Shes usually really helpful in life, she cares about me, and shes REALLY close to me. You might get a really bad impression from all I wrote here, but otherwise shes a really good friend, and I want you to note that. Please help me.

I have a wiccan friend too. She's sometimes really disrespectful and stubborn and I've tried talking to her about christianity and one of my other friends even brings her to church, but it doesn't change her.
Here's my advice, I suggest that you talk to her about it. If she blows you off or changes it to another topic or doesn't respond then begin to pray for her. The thing is you alone can't change a person's heart. But God can. He created you and he's there for you. Just ask him everytime you pray that your friend might see that she was wrong.
If I were you, I would tell her to stop saying mean things. I'm a Christian. I'm your Friend too. You have to respect my religon as much as I'll try to respect yours. If they can't do that then I would say she isn't really a friend.

If they can't do that then I would say she isn't really a friend. Thats true as much as life its self is. I agree pray and see but if she does to much of of witch craft then it wont work but if not then you can get to her try it see if it works.

I have 2 or 3 Wiccan friends. It's been tough. Plus they make jokes like. "Oh if I walk in that church, they'll probably burn me." They refuse to forget about what happened to witches in the past. Even though Wicca wasn't born until the 1950s or 1960s.
Don't stop being her friend. 'Things happen for a reason.'
Remain a Christian, and act like a Christian around her.
If she feels sad or something is bothering her. Say "I'll be praying for you."
When she says something bad about Christianity, tell her your not comfortable with her saying bad things about your beliefs. If what she says isn't true about Christians, tell her that so maybe she'll get an understanding.
You are living proof that not ALL Christians are what she says they are.
Support her, but don't encourage her to keep up with Wicca.
My closest friend converted to Wicca when we were in the 8th grade. I wasn't stong in my relationship with Christ when I was 13, infact I was depressed and didn't care about being Christian anymore at that point of time. So I didn't stop her before she got into it. Me and here are in the 10th grade, and we are not as close as we used to be. But we are still good friends.
Dont just aim to have all Christian friends. It's good to have a variety so maybe you can get an understanding of their religion, and so that they can get an understanding of yours. Witness to her when you have the chance, invite her to Youth Church or something along those lines.
I'll pray for you and your friend. Also you should pray for your friend every chance you have.

Okay just to let you know, I am Wiccan. I have two Wiccan friends and we are a covent. Wicca is a christan religion. We belive in God and worship him all the time. We do not worship Satan in anyway shape or form. It sounds like your friend is a Witch not a Wiccan. Witches are the ones who competely ignore our laws and do whatever the hell they want, in short they are the bad ones. Wiccans are the good ones, they abide by the laws. Our laws do include the ten commandments and Our Golden law is altered though. Our Golden law is, "Harm ye none and do what ye will." Meaning as long as our lives pertain to our laws and are in resonable boundaries, we can cast any spells we want. They aren't really spells either, it is an illusion. It is mind over matter. If you belive in something enough it will happen, no matter what others have told you. We also have another law, it is the three fold law. No matter what kind of spell you cast, it comes back to you three times stronger than before. So if you casted a spell to harm someone, it would come back and harm two people who are closest to you and then yourself. If you would like to know more I can help you. But in short your friend sounds like a Witch, because Wiccans are christans and we are some of those damn christan bastards she is talking about.

marinazzle Whenever we learn about the crusades in class she always says, "Those stupid fanatical Christians!" It really offends me. I tell her that, but she says,"Youre nice, but thats because youre not a stupid fanatical Christian." Tell her that that is not very fair to somthing like that. marinazzle I dont know what to do, Im scared to say a word about Christianity to her. Do not be afraid!! That is the last thing you should do. When you are around her or anyone else, just act as you usually would.

THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE! She became an egnostic wiccan, and then she decided she didn't know what to believe in. She's not Christian, but at least she's not Wiccan. Thanks again!
